2.4ghz receiver binds but dont work ?
 

i have a code 2.4ghz dsss radio system and bought another receiver to run my other car of same tranny , my problem is the new receiver will bind fine but the throttle or steering will not work , i bought a etronix pulse dsss receiver with is the same as the code just rebranded .

can anyone help please

If its a three channel radio, is the throttle hold toggle flicked on?
That overrides your throttle setting on the sticks.

Also, I know there are two types of reciever, the old black and the new blue.

Are yours both the same colour (ie. your original Code one and the new eTronix one)?

the receivers are black and identical in every way mate , it is on sticks yeah , ill look at the throttle hold switch now

Jsut done a quick search and this thread has something that may help.
Its not directly related to your problem, but shows there might be differences between the Core and eTronix stuff:

just tried it will throttle hold on and off and still binds but dont talk to the receiver mate

the receivers are the same there just rebranded its doing my head in this now 2 hours and still bloody trying lol

I always thought the two TX/RX's were the same but rebranded too, but who told you this - are you absolutely sure?
There may be a subtle difference which is why you are seeing the problem.
To keep things simple I would have gone for the same make as you had.

Try a Google search to see if they truly are interchangeable.

If they are, then it sounds like a busted RX.

One last thing that just came to mind - those trannys can store different models, so have you made sure you are binding to a different model setting than your other RX?
If in doubt, do a factory reset on the TX.

EDIT: another thought - are you 100% SURE the channel 1 servo lead is the right way round and in the right slot?
The BIND plug has to be removed too.
I used to own the eTronix, and doesnt it say in the instructions that you might have to reverse 2 leads of the three coming from your servo? I know this is only in some situations, so make sure before you do it as it might short something out.

yeah its 100% the same it says so on the modelsport website , ive tried doing a reset on tx and yes im doing it on a different model select , this receiver must be a dud then

oh and they dont make the core rc anymore just the etronix one

I edited my last post with a few new ideas.
i was getting caught up in the Core/Etronix thing, rather than just checking simple wiring.
Check out the above post.

If it still doesnt work after that, I agree it might be a dead RX.
Modelsport are awesome, so Im sure they will stand over it and get a new one for tomorrow if you give them a call.

Good luck (and post back to let us know what it turned out to be!)

thanks for your help mate but it turns out the problem is not the receiver or the transmitter its ME theres 2 different etronix receivers one for the digi tranny and one for the standard one and ive bought the wrong one , im now going to go slap myself round the head a few times lol

lol. Hence my first post! :p
Although I thought the differences were shown in the colours. Live and learn!

But hey well done, you figured it out.

Best of luck (now go and sticka brew on - you need it!!) :lol:

theres 2 the same colour ones for the none digi tal tranny and one for the digital one i bought the none digital one lol . anyway the new one come today and it works great thanks for you help mate

Not sure I did much, but cheers!
Glad you got it sorted. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
