2.4Ghz radio control

[grant_ploughbot]

well as far as i know, ALL event organisers are allowing 2.4ghz to ru aslong as they apply to the regulations

[leorcc]

I know, but they are not in the 2007 rules yet, just because de DX6 is not compliant yet, while other systems at 10 mwatt are.

As far as I know, the DX3s failsafe does not have preset positions on all channels, so robots would not pass the tech check anyway...

If someone has checked the failsafes on the DX3, please post your findings.

[grant_ploughbot]

doesnt matter - there are external failsafes and loads of speedos with them on the market, so its not always nessasary

And to add, the Wireless Telegraphy (Exemption) (Amendment) Regulations 2006 come into effect on 8 December

great news.

The DSS receivers will continue to output a valid signal (last known position) which will override any failsafe connected to the receiver. They dont work like traditional PPM receivers.

unfortunatly it does matter. the dx3 in failsafe will make your robot turn very slowly. extra failsafes wont cure it simply because they are after the reciver. when the rx goes into fail safe it tells the speedo to go into a preset position (failsafe mode), so the speedo never gets the interference, it recives a valid signal from the rx and so doesnt go into failsafe mode.

thats what i belive happens

Carnt you use a bot reciever for the DX3?

[kane]

Nope.
