How To: Change Traxxas Receiver to Spektrum
For the guys who have Radios that can bind to multiple receives, this is a must have not only in our Traxxas RC trucks, but our other rigs as well.
Equipment In this how-to: Spektrum DX3s DSM Sport system (manual here) Spektrum SR3000 Sport Surface Receiver (manual here) Traxxas Slash 2WD (manual here) (parts exploded) Tools 2.0 mm Hex 8mm wrench How To: Grab your 2.0 mm Hex and start removing the 2 screws from the main receiver box. Once you remove the top cover you will see this spaghetti. Onto the next step of removing the antenna. 2 more screws from the water proofing cover of the receiver box. Track the sizes, these are slightly smaller (2.5 x than the first 2 screws. Once the cover is removed, you will see how the server / throttle and antenna wires are snug and waterproofed. Next step is to remove the receiver antenna wire which requires you to loosen up the antenna mount. Grab your 8 mm wrench and loosen the anodized bolt that holds the antenna tube. My antenna had a hard metal shield which wouldn't allow for me to just remove the antenna without grabbing the 2.0 hex and remove to more screws from the bottom of the radio box. Here is both the receivers. On the left is the stock Traxxas Link receiver vs the Spektrum SR3000 Sport Surface Receiver. Both are 2.4 ghz. Sadly we cannot bind the Traxxas Link receiver to the Spektrum DX3S radio I had to trim my steering servo and esc female jumpers to fit in my receiver. This is common. See the lip below? Scissors lined up and ready to go, just trim a bit off the jumpers With the ESC and the Servo plugged into the SR3000 its time to add the bind jumper (provided with new receiver). With the bind jumper in the receiver the SR3000 should blink green very fast when powered up. Turn your Spektrum DX3S radio on. Go to Model Select and select an unused model selection area. Select it. Exit. Model Rename. In my case I named it Stadium. Exit. *elevate all wheels or unplug 1 wire from your motor* With your Spektruk DX3s (or other Spektrum radios) go to your Bind option for that model you just created. Scroll down, Bind. The receiver should have stopped blinking with the successful binding. With the power off to your receiver, remove the Bind jumper. Now, with your vehicle elevated so the wheels aren't on the ground, power on the ESC / receiver. Now test your bind, do you have steering and throttle? Traxxas suggests unplugging 1 wire to your motor so ensure it is plugged back in. NOTE: It's not uncommon after a receiver bind that your ESC needs to relearn throttle position. Page 15 of the Traxxas Slash user manual. So, if your Traxxas has no throttle after a bind, read over the manual. Its a very easy quick fix generally. |
