KO Vantage Spektrum Conversion
 

Hi all

I know helger do the conversion of the KO Vantage to accomodate the Spektrum module, I'm thinking of doing the conversion myself, does anyone have a pictures of the wiring required?

I understand that some circuit boards need moving and antenna blanked etc. and done all that just stuck as to which spektrum pins connect to which KO pins.

Any help or pic's would be appreciated, Thanks

For the sake of the cost of the conversion, is it worth trying this yourself?

My own opinion is that for peace of mind, its worth letting helger sort it, even though we may be capable of doing it ourselves.

The transmitter has a lot of responsibility to hold a line of communication, unbroken, with the receiver.... any slight problems and its either glitch central, or it just simply won't work.

its six wires essentally a plug all he wants is pin config:)

There are actually five from the spektrum and yes correct that essentially it is just a plug! You say to just let helger just do it but with postage the cost will be close to £60, approx 24 pints - you see the dilemma i'm in for only 5 wires to be soldered!!

i have an idea drink 24pints and let the mighty wife beater decide :D

Sounds a good idea 3 down, 21 to go. I can see my five fingers being soldered into my ko!:wtf:

TIP

use safety scissors
and dont plug the iron in:D

arrryessss!
I have done my risk assesment and method statement!
Got my modified iron and plenty of sticky back plastic

do you have lead free cold solder so u dont burn yourself also a wolfsport racing coat may protect u from frost like terrence would use
:D

i have my mig welder, is that any good?

yes but dont operate it near u genitals;)

Have you asked your dad if you can take your trany apart :D

i have a hamster that is a fully trained grade 2 welder

im also doing conversion myself :cool: ! fingers crossed :wtf:

dont trust the hamster with u rocket car;)

will succesful conversion be reviewed on the mudfish website mr monk

Can you do it with fingers crossed? :wtf:

o yes ! and toes :D

More like wires crossed, we will be able to spot u on the rostum, u'll be the only one with a smokey transmitter! :D

but with £50 more in my pocket:D
if anyone can get it to work, i can ! watch this space !
