Lynk 3D question

[Steve Vasdekis]

Is there a specific place you attach the plastic clip and screwdriver that is included to change the channels?

[Pooley929]

I just got one too and I was thinking the same thing????:confused: I didn't read the info package yet I figured it would be in there So its not?

[Pooley929]

I just opened mine and looked at it for a min. I turned the power on and played with the edit settings well when I turned it off it didn't go off now about 5 to 10 min later its beeping lo power I guess, this thing doesn't have good instructions with a trouble shooting guide has anyone else had this problem or do I need to return this sucker (thats why I hate mail order from the big shops):mad:

[Pooley929]

well I'll get the corrict pic this time where you can see the radio off while still being on.........Also when I was looking at it before I ever turned it on I pluged in the DSC and it turned on when I unpluged it it went off so I thought that it was some function of the radio mabe not:mad: :( :( :mad:

[Eddie]

turn off the display switch

[Donnie]

Hey man...

Like Eddie said... you have your display on... even though the transmitter is not transmitting... the display is staying on... just flip the switch! Other than that you should be set!

I have my 3D for about 2 years now... and I realy like it... I guess the only think I wish it had was a longer life stock battery... I havnt looked around for a replacement... does anyone know of a direct replacement that will last 2 or 3 times longer than the stock batteries?

(in a serious day of racing I have to constantly be sure that I plug it back in between heats to insure that I will have enough battery to last through the final heats...)

Thanks,
Donnie

I finally gave up on where this plastic screwdriver is supposed to go, so i just velcroed it.

[Pooley929]

I feel stupid I still think these instructions suck

Thanks :)

[Dick Crowe]

Louis,
The instructions do suck!
The Display switch is pretty cool though. It will allow you to adjust your radio without transmitting. The best thing you can do is just use it. If you think you've really messed up one of the 10 memory programs, you can use the reset mode to set that one back to default.
BTW, have you ever peeked at a Airtronics M8 Book. I think the same guy wrote both manuals!

I can't wait for Paul to come on now and tell me how his JR manual is a no brainer!!!!!

One more thing you'll love. Computer radios like the 3D are hard on batteries! Turn it off at the lake when you're not using it or you'll hear that Beep Beep beep again!!!!

I'll tell you this. You'll have to pry my 3d out of my hands these days. It's awesome and has never let me down.

Good luck!
Dick

[Paul]

Hello Dick,

I can't wait for Paul to come on now and tell me how his JR manual is a no brainer!!!!!

LMAO!!!! I don't have to mention it, you took care of that for me. Thanks!

JR RULES!!!!! ;-)

Paul.

[Pooley929]

I found two spots Cuz I think with velcow I will lose it here are the pics

[Pooley929]

I like this one best:D

[Steve Vasdekis]

Boy, sometimes i just make things too difficult.:o
Thanks Pooley!

[Brian Vega]

Just get an Airtronics! It will solve all your problems including the battery life issue. Sorry Dick;) M-8= User Friendly! Now servos on the other hand No Doubt, Hitec in every boat!

[Dick Crowe]

Hey Brian, maybe you can drop Scott Bickford a note to see how he can get his M8 to last longer on a set of batteries then my 3D.

We usually have 2 races. One on the water, the other to see whos radio will die first. It's been pretty close so far.

Hey, I tried an M8 on one of my boats once and it slowed down. No wonder you keep following me around the course!

See ya,
Dick

[matt6669]

OUCH those are fighting words dick
lol

[Steve Vasdekis]

I was going to get a M8 because the Hitec looks like a piece of junk, but you can't beat the 30 Channel Spectra Module. Hitec really needs to get a "fashion" consultant!;)

[Brian Vega]

Hey Dick! Theres no one else I would rather follow around the course than you Buddy! Except for when me and Larry are racing in the same Heat. BV

One word Dick, Sanyo 1600 Nimh AA's gives me 8.5 hrs!
Of course its a JR.
OK, thats more than one word.
Jim

[Dick Crowe]

Thanks Jim,
The "Batteries America" booth (aka Mr. Nicad) is right next to ours at the show this weekend. I plan on loading up good with the aa Sanyo's and receiver packs!

Jr huh? Doesn't that stand for Junior, You've been at theis for a while now Jim. It's time to step it up!

Too much fun!
See ya,
Dick

8.5 hours from 1600 mAH = 190mA drain, or 1.8W.

The Spectra module is eating a lot of Dick's power. Those babies are known for getting pretty warm.

Not bad.
