Sanwa rx451r light not coming on
 

As title, when switching on the car, the light on the receiver does not light up. Therefore, nothing is working. Is this something that is common and is it something that can be fixed or is a new one going to be needed..:o

Probably a silly question but did you bind it to the transmitter?

Yep, been using it a while.. First time I've ever seen this happen..

Is the modulation type on the transmitter the same as the receiver? FH3 for the 451 I think?
Try disconnecting the esc and use a dry cell battery for the binding process then re-connect the esc

stupid one im guilty of is unplugging esc from rx to program (i.e hobbywing) then plugging back into RX "wrong" way round

as red lead is still centre no damage is done but naff all works !!

regards dave

Check all leads, all ok. Can't re bind as lights not showing to make sure or check when it's done. :thumbdown:

Did you try disconnecting the esc and try just using a dry cell battery(rx pack) to bind it? This would let you know if the bec is knackered. Have you tried the receiver in another car if you have one?

Sorry for the delay, had to wait to borrow a dry cell from someone to try. It is still the same. Tried another type of receiver in the car and that works fine.

Are these receivers repairable, or does someone know of anyone who does repair them. Or am I in the position of buying another...:(

Can try speaking to pugs on here, i know he looks at speedo's an PT's

Sounds like it's goosed unfortunately :bored:

Check if antennas come off the board

I have just had a similar thing happen on mine. It just died.
I think unfortunately its a gonna.
Im going to use another layer of servo tape or use more blac tac when mounting them in the future.
They do take a hammering taped to the chassis

Looks like a new receiver for me then..
