Low batteries

- What brand radio?
- Is there a lot of carbon fiber in your boat that your using it in?

[ron1950]

sometimes just getting the tx too close to the boat will make itr jump around some

[byron]

well it's not the batteries ,there new , i think i got it down to water in the servo. the radio is a flysky gt 3b

[Alexgar]

I use deft spraycan laquer to water proof my flysky gt3 rx the don't respond well to water or moisture

[Alexgar]

Laquer

Also used on my tatic rx after receiving a esc coated in this from suppo upon opening the package I noticed the smell and being a carpenter I was able to Id it pretty easy
Trying to upload a pic from my iPhone but haven't figured it out yet

[byron]

that's funny because there is a vid that i watched were they submerged the rx under water and showed how it still worked fine ?

[Alexgar]

I've tried it also after one of the gt3 took my Elam for a quick ride ending with a hole and a boat dock the fail safe was set to full throttle so when it got wet that's what happened have you set your failsafe on the rx

[byron]

yup ,the first thing i did . i lost my first miss vegas with my futaba 3 pm radio . forgot to set the fail safe. i like the fly shy ,set it once and your good to go .

[Alexgar]

Who in the he'll sets a factory default to full throttle thanks hobby king after I repair the damage had to eat 60$ to sell it over a 20 cent piece of paper called an instruction manual I didn't receive

That's from the old 27mhz am days Ron! Never heard of that with 2.4ghz. If so, there is something wrong with the radio.

Is it a Spektrum radio? They had issues with the early models.

How do set the fail safe on the fly sky? I've got one to try out.

[byron]

it simple , push the throttle to the position that you want,then push the bind button on the rx the light will flash for 3 sec .then release you should be done.

Yeah, I like the Flysky, it has all the feature that my old Airtronics MX3-FHSS had and I especially like the size and price of the receivers! But they are real susceptible to moisture. I've taken all mine apart and (like the Youtube video) sprayed on a couple coats of clear Liquid Tape spray and reassembled. Set the failsafe and forget 'em.
