Hello All,
I just recently bought my 2 sons each a Typhon Mega v3 ($205 from Amazon during XMAX time). I will eventually get into upgrading some stuff (and will no doubt have question to post on here), but right now we're having an issue and I was hoping that some of you on here might be able to help.
We are having Intermittent steering/throttle issues. It's almost like the radio is cutting out. I understand that these can overheat and things like this can happen, but I tested this when we first plugged the battery in with just ONE car on, and it was still happening. I tried to re-bind the Tx/Rx and that didn't seem to do anything at first, but then after a few minutes it was working better (very odd right?). I have also bought a temp gun so that I can test that next time we take them out for a run.
A question; I come from the old days when we used to have a quartz frequently adapter/plug to have a specific channel (I hope I'm explaining so that it makes sense), and I don't see an option for frequencies/channels (for Tx/Rx) on these? Can these Transmitters interfere with each other or do they auto adjust frequencies/channels?
Sorry if I'm not making too much sense. I haven't driven one of these for almost 30 years and what I do remember seems long gone (rebuildable brushed motors, ESCs just came out... NOVAK!! I had an RC10 CE.).
Thanks for any input. I will be troublshooting slowly, because I still only have the trickle chargers that came with these.
