Where did you order yours from Trevor? You dont normally get hit for Tax from Robot Combat... but being Christmas!

It was ordered from RobotCombat, and was labelled as toy robot parts. Suppose it depends on who handles it at customs.

It was the VAT that was the most annoying.

I was wondering how long it would be, slightly quicker than I thought though.

Appears to have a failsafe function on Ch 3 /throttle only.

**leorcc** · 12th March 2007, 09:39

It has indeed only Throttle cut. Like the AR6000.

Just seen a useful hack for those with DX3s on the Hack-a-day site:

apparently : upgrading the inefficient linear regulator in a DX3 RC radio transmitter to double the battery life
