Somebody could explain me what a failsafe is and how it works? Thanks and excuse my bad english!
 sharkey9 790 points
With failsafe you define a position of a servo or a ESC. If losing connection, the servo/ESC goes into that predefined position. So your car will brake or motor stops when you lose signal.
 NewToHobbyKing 6329 points
Javier Yes just what Sharkey9 said, BUT how do you sent it. Well this receiver has a built in fail safe. So, in this case you set it on the receiver. Set you RC up. Once you have it all working place you Tx into the position you want the receiver, to put the servos and ESC into when SIGNAL is LOST. Then use the little pin that come with the bind plug to set the receiver. (Ok make sure you test it) (How? when you have power to your Model turn your Tx off) (If, Plane! Make sure prop is off)
 Gerry01 2884 points
Javier, como este receptor esta orientado al uso de autos, que llevan ESC con reversa, normalmente la posicion de reposo del motor no es el 0% de señ*al sino el 30% o 50%. Si un receptor pierde señ*al, automá*ticamente corta los pulsos a los servos, o los lleva al 0%. En un avió*n o heli eso corta el motor, pero en un auto lo puede llevar al 100% en reversa! asi que tras encender el radio y el ESC, colocas el acelerador en neutro y la direccion recta, y pulsas el boton de failsafe. Y eso es todo. Si arrancas el auto sin tener el radio encendido, o si pierdes señ*al de radio, el auto en lugar de salir disparado con el motor al tope en reversa, se detendrá*. Suerte!

Why Can't get a 2nd receiver to bind to the GTX3. The GTX3 came already boung to the receiver it came with. i switched models on the GTX3 to model 2 then attempted to bind to a 2nd receiver and it seems to bind but when I shut off the RX power tale out the bind plug and power on it is flashing again and is not bound.
 Gerry01 2884 points
Happend to me once with the 6ch receiver, if you plug the power connector reversed, Rx seems to work and bind, but it doesn't. Maybe it's just that.
 Jjeffcott 4 points
Do I need to hook a seperate battery by itself to get it to bind. I have been hooking up my ESC that is connected to the battery.
 Gerry01 2884 points
ESC is ok* you only need to provide power to the Rx and that's what the ESC does. In fact, that happened to me powering the Rx with a small ESC. Check you haven't pluged the ESC reversed. Looks like the PPM signal has enough power to bring down to ground the negative pin, but just there, so Rx flashes in bursts of current. Again, this happened in the 6ch Rx, I didn't try it in this one, but it's a posibility...

 vee73 6 points
I've used this a lot with no problems.
 sharkey9 790 points
Yeah I believe you but that doesn't mean all of these receivers can handle it in the long run. Electronic components have tolerances and it seems you got a good sample.

I want to make a rc plane can I use this receiver???
 Gerry01 2884 points
Yes, of course, I use it in a small foam plane, no problems.
 NewToHobbyKing 6329 points
Chithari this receiver is meant for Surface Models Only. I have used it in short range Park Flyers. Just under stand the range is LIMITED. The best I have proven (With my Turigy9XV2) is 200m. It does have a great "Fail Safe" built in the receiver. So if you set that up and loose connection then you plane has a chance!
 Gerry01 2884 points
Sorry, but sensitivity is -100 dBm. With a standard Tx, if your Rx antenna is correctly set up on your model, you have signal to spare even if the RC model is half a mile away.

will this bind with the turnigy 9x ??

Just as you say. In fact I have elevon mix in ch1 and 2, and ESC in channel 3.
 Mar11 1963 points
what range are you getting from this ?
 Gerry01 2884 points
It's a foamy, I didn´*t test it more than a hundred meters* so far, it's working. As long as you keep the antenna on top, vertical, it works ok.
 NewToHobbyKing 6329 points
Mar11 I answered this for you. It will bind to the Turnigy9XV2 or the other trunigy's with a Turingy9XV2 compatible module. Not it must be a V2. V1 binds with V1 and V2 binds with V2(B) Only.

I can't get this binded with my flysky gt3b radio, anyone can help me please, when i use the bind function the led stops flashing, when i try to test it, it's not binded anymore?
 NewToHobbyKing 6329 points
Bram so the led stops flashing when you bind. Then you power down and remove your bind plug before you power up again. When you turn every thing on the led on the receiver (when trying it out), does it come on? What transmitter are you using? Please reply if you still more help.
 NewToHobbyKing 6329 points
Sorry you say flysky gt3b radio. So you said the light stops flashing when binding. But does is stay or go off!
 sharkey9 790 points
Bind process: Tx OFF. Rx OFF. Plug in bind connector. Switch Rx ON (blinking LED). Press bind button on Tx and switch Tx ON - keep pressing the button and watch the Rx LED until it stops blinking - can take up to 5 seconds. Release bind button on Tx and remove bind plug from Rx. Switch both off and you're done. THEN do the test.
 Mar11 1963 points
will this bind with the turnigy 9x ??
 Mar11 1963 points
if it works with the turnigy 9x how can i bing it there is no bind button ?
 NewToHobbyKing 6329 points
Mar11 the Turnigy9XV2 has a bind button on the back. You use a bind plug on the receiver!

The second file (4515kb) is the manual for the FS-GT3B Radio. Which also contains the manual for this receiver - how to bind, how to set failsafe, specifications etc. There is no single manual just for the receiver.

No, see the specs below. Note: Only HK-T6A receiver is comptible with HK-T4A transmitter. Only HK-T6Av2 receiver is compatible with the HK-T4Av2 transmitter.
 NewToHobbyKing 6329 points
Brandin Yes I see ""Only HK-T6Av2 receiver is compatible with the HK-T4Av2 transmitter." But that tramsmitter will bind with this receive PRODUCT ID: HK-GT2_RX and the Truigy9XV2 receiver. As long as they are the V2 they will bind with this receiver.

wonder if this will bind to this Hobby King 2.4Ghz 4Ch Tx & Rx V2 (Mode 2)
 NewToHobbyKing 6329 points
Chops3 you have been around for a while? Have you not. This receiver is meant for surface models. I have had some fun in low range part flyers. Any way this receiver binds to Hobby King 2.4Ghz 4Ch Tx & Rx V2 (Mode 2 & 1) (SKU: HK-T4A-M2 & M1) and Turnigy 9X 9Ch Transmitter w/ Module & 8ch Receiver (Mode 2 & 1) (v2 Firmware) and Hobby King GT-2 2.4Ghz 2Ch Tx & Rx (AUS Warehouse) SKU: HK-GT2 ONLY

what is the 120mm tube you get with this rx for, do you need to use it. Im going to put this rx on a small parkflyer i have and i am not sure if i need this tube,it fits over the antenner wire i think?
 Gerry01 2884 points
You're right, tube is used to route wire outside your car or boat. It's usefull in RC boats, where Rx is normally located very close to the water line and you need to be sure the antenna cable is out and up in the air. If your parkflyer is made of foam or plastic you don't need the tube. One of my planes is made of foam and receiver is buried inside, no problemas at all.
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 tony 27 points
Thanks Gerry. Do you also route the antenna cable at 90 degrees from the rx or leave it straight
 Gerry01 2884 points
You're welcome! The coax cable can be bent. The small end of the coax core, that ends unshielded, goes straight, up or down is better. Thanks for the credit!
eangeli  3 points - 4/18/2013
 
I need an Antenna, my son broke mine. is there a replacement?
 Gerry01 2884 points
It's a coax cable. Just a piece of wire will do the trick, if you don't need to move your model more than 100 or 200 meters away. Just check range before you fly or use your car!

Is that works with 1/16 Brushless 4WD Mini Rally Car ?
 Gerry01 2884 points
That car comes without radio, you need the Rx and the Tx. This is just the Rx. If you have a Tx, it will work if it's compatible. This Rx in particular is ok for cars, I've used it in cars and small foam planes.

Nice compact rx. Runs fine off a 4.8V ni-cd pack. Binds easily with the GT2 transmitter, although I did feel I needed an extra hand to press the bind button while powering on the tx. All is good and works great!
Will buy 2 more to kit out my entire "fleet".

I have two of these little buggers already and have now ordered two more. The Rx is basically made for car/boats, but can under certain circumstances be used for small planes on a small field and no bystanders (only one antenna). The antenna is 26mm as stated in the RX specs. but the cord is totally 180mm, which makes it easy get the antenna position right. Right price too. Now we are waiting for HK GT-3!!!!

I have found that the HK GT2 works well I compared it with a 3 channel eurgle receiver they both have about the same range or apox 290 metre I would not take it pass this as they both lost signal at 300 metres and i found the HK GT2 slightly better so at the price I think they are pretty good value for small park flyers.I paid about $8 for the Eurgle from R2 hobbys,will be getting more soon.
