[QUOTE=FighterCat57;205233]What do you mean up to date?

Here's a shot of the Tx installed in the boat (it runs off of the lipo tap)

It runs off of 2-6s & up because of the connector design, it can be plugged in to just about any lipo. It does not work off of BEC power. (I tried it)

does have a somewhat limited range, but picks up automatically when back in range.

doesn't even register till 120 though. So if temps are all good, there's no lights. It's a great failsafe so far. =)

thats what i ment by....(up to date)
1st post had no real info on unit,thats all.

No worries. The range is a little short, but comes right back on when in range reliably.

I actually haven't gotten it to alarm, aside from using a hair dryer on it. I don't get temps over 120 on the Apparition or the EKOS any more.

COOL...
wish thay had 1 with 6 temp taps

you can calibrate the temps.. 120 will be where its hitting the range its calibrated for.

Just trying to remember how to calibrate lol, best i go searching though my docs.

Yeah, that would be great, I didn't see it in the paper I got. It doesn't pickup till 104 according to the doc.

cant find the doco yet, but just had a play with it, if you turn the receiver on then press set then up and down to move the bars up and down... that is how you do it have a play with the heatgun an the rest will be easy.

I will have a look on my other pc for the doco

Alas... I'm so sad. The Ghetto Tree has died. The Rx picked up a little salt water spray when the drive slipped out a bit and water got in the hull by the drive tube. =(

Salt water is vicious!
