Xcelorin combo problems

[dibble34]

Hello all.

I have the 4.5 combo and so far I have not had much luck. Had lots of interference and issues with a cogging affect. Anyway after moving everything around in the car and getting a Spektrum Receiver voltage protector I thought I was about there.

However 2 weeks ago it stopped working. Could not get the Speedo to work, when I powered the car on the servo for the wheels worked, but no joy from the ESC.

Tried another handset, different crystals, and a different 27mhz receiver. Still no joy. ( i had tried to sync it with the new receiver while holding down the red button when switching on until the yellow light appeared, but when I pulled the throttle, the light did not go green as it should. Also tried reversing the channel)

Tried a replacement sensor cable, no joy

I then tried the replacement receiver with my old brushed esc and motor, it worked fine!

So i flashed the Losi esc with the latest firmware, but still nothing. Could not sync it with my radio gear.

Sent it back to DMS (who were very polite and helpful) and they passed it on to losi. Losi advised no fault found to quote the job sheet " Tried everything to make it not work, but performed flawlessly!? Have re-loaded all the firmware and restored to factory settings and re-tested under extreme loading, no fault found. Returned".

Now it has not cost me for investigation by losi, but I have it back now with the same problem. It has already cost me £12 in p&P and i am not sure what else to try. I have a mate coming round tomorrow with his ZX5 RTR kit which has the same radio gear as me so was going to see if I could get it to see that. Failing that I will take it up the club Sunday and get some of the guys to try it with their radio gear, but i am not feeling confident.

Can anyone think of anything i may have missed? So far not overly impressed with the combo! If i do have to send it back again i will of spent so much on P&P that i may as well of go a Novak system

Thanks in advance
