Adding a second receiver to 3GR...

[Adam F]

Have bought a second Futaba R603ff receiver to use with my 3GR, but cant get it to sync up...

Just get the flashing green, press the button but wont sync...

Its from the US, but have been told its exactly the same....

Any idea's?

try changing from ppm to hrs/pcm etc on the radio, some receivers/servos need different ones and won't work

which servo are you running ?

I think flashing green means it can see a signal, but it's not paired...

a quick button press on each should pair the 2. Not sure abou tthe 3GR, but on my 3VCS it's on the back on the module

I have a Savox 1258, although this is the same in both cars and I currently use PPM..

Have tried pressing the button, but nothing happens...

If it's just sync'ing your struggling with it shouldn't be anything to do with any other electrics or the mode's I'd have thought...but then weird things do happen sometimes!

For me pressing the sync buttons on both the rx and tx at the same time did the job without any issues, I have the 3pk with a fasst module. The module and 1 receiver are from china, the other receiver from the US. I run in HRS mode and run savox servos as well for reference, but sync'ing the rx and tx on that kit should, in theory at least, be straight forward.

Not a lot of help I know, so, I guess you've tried pressing the 2 sync buttons in different orders? What about with only the esc connected for it's power? Were there any other people running fasst systems anywhere nearby when you were trying to sync them? Or anything else that runs on 2.4 ghz anywhere nearby for that matter? Not really sure what else to suggest?!?!

Didnt know there was a sync button on the tx...

Any idea where it is?

On the 3pm (wheel version of what you have) that I used to use it was on the back...fairly big rectangular thing that glows when it's switched on...didn't look much like a button on the 3pm to be fair! Roughly where you'd expect a module to plug in if it took them!

Should be easy to spot once you know your looking for it

[Adam F]

Will give it a try, although it doesnt appear to move. (seems bonded in)

Hmm...just looked up the 3GR instructions to check where the button is...would appear that there isn't a sync button at all...so given you duff info by the looks of it

Instructions just say put the tx within 1m of rx, turn on tx, make sure that led on the back of tx is solid green, then turn on rx and then press the 'sw' button, when the rx led turns solid green it's linked.

If rx led is blinking green then it's receiving signal but unmatched...solid green when matched...red when no signal being received at all.

So if you havent already, try holding the button down til it's solid maybe? Really not sure, just did it straight off when I did it last

No other idea's I'm affraid?!?!

No worries, have spoken to Ripmax who think there may be an issue with my tranny. (internal aerial may have become detached resulting in a weak signal.)

Cheers for the help!
