All OrangeRx receivers come with a 12 month warranty. NOTE* This is not a Futaba receiver, nor is it a copy of a Futaba receiver. Futaba and FASST are trademarks of Futaba Co (JP).
Note* Disable failsafe on transmitter, otherwise you will experience servo jitter.
This receiver is not compatible with the Satellitemode of the TFR8-S
Hi,
The difference is that these receivers can be used in pairs to create a satellite system with 14 channels.
others can not do that !
hence the difference in price ...
Regards
The hole in the top of the case id directly over the button. Push it once the transmitter is on and it should bind. Plus the esc into channel 3 then use the remainder for servos. Caneel #8 on the receiver will not be working with the 6EX
how do you link/bind this receiver to my transmitter Fut.6eX, no instructions came with it. Of 8 channels which one do you plug ESC and servos into. Tried to find out on internet,all it says is to push "button", all I see is a hole in the top of the case.
Binding for the 6ex is as following:
1 turn on your transmitter.
2 ESC should be in channel 3
3 Press the little butten ( keep it pressed )
4 Plug in battery
The LED should turn green now. If it doesnt work let me know.
For channels:
1 Aileron
2 Elevator
3 Throttle (ESC)
4 Rudder
5 Landing Gear
6 Flaps
7 and 8 dont work for your transmitter.
Sorry, but it won't. The transmitter has to use the FASST protocol on 2.4GHz to work with this receiver. Any Futaba transmitter using FASST will likely have FASST printed on the transmitter.
I use 6 orange recievers with my 7C, and however they work great. no difference to the original Futaba recievers, but the price is unbeatable. Range and performance is perfect. The binding is as easy as with the original.(never needed a second try). As already written, just turn on your transmitter, then push the butten on your reciever and turn on the power on your reciever. when the LED gets green, the binding is done, and your system ready for use.
I've had several of these, they work perfectly.
The only 'problem' I'm aware of is when people forget to disable the failsafe on their TX not something you would normally do but is essential with these. Besta Luck
Forgot to add don't forget these are really 7 channel as the '8th' is where you plug the battery into. So if you have a Futaba radio you won't be able to utilise these and run 2 servos on your elevators for example.
I had problems binding a new futaba reciever and ended up having to send the transmitter in to get updated. contact futaba and see if your radio needs to be updated they will need the serial #
Krepih1985,
I just received my RX but am having trouble binding it to my 7C.
Can you give me the process? I'm getting no help from C/S.
Thanks in advance.
Turn on the transmitter, press the button on the receiver and holding the button. Turn the power to the receiver, after a few seconds, the light flashes Stop! binding binding
here from the instructions:Turn on the transmitter, connect the battery to the receiver while pressing receiver’*s F/S button. After the RED LED is off and GREEN LED is solid, the binding process is completed and working mode is activated.
This receiver is only for transmitters that work with aircraft. Unfortunately, it looks like you will have to look elsewhere for a receiver for your ground transmitter.
Thanks Fernardo,
It was exactly that, my Futaba was set up by deftly to FAASTest mode. As soon I switch on FAST mode it connected immediately.
Great little receiver.
I am not sure what i am doing wrong but it is not binding with Futaba 14GS Fastest. I tried everything following recomandations from Futaba manual but nothing hapened.
The best I get was a red and green light staing on both but no connection.
Did anybody managed to bind with Futaba 14 GS?
Hi Sinisa. This receiver expects to find and link to a FAAST signal from your TX. I believe Your 14SG must be set to operate by default in FAASTest mode. This is why the bind doesn't complete. So I believe you should set it to work in FAAST mode and then try to bind them. Hope it works!

Why did you award points to Colt1873 for not answering my question. I can see that it appears to be identical, and he admitted he didn't know the difference.
I still would like to know the difference between orng8f and tfr8s RX's
The orng8f is an 8 channel receiver that will work with all Futaba FASST 2.4Ghz transmitters and provide up to 8 receiver channels depending on the transmitter. The tfr8s RX's are also 8 channel receivers just as the orng8f but also have the capability to be in pairs (2 tfr8s' tied together as a satellite system) to provide up to 14 channels which can be used with the Futaba FASST 2.4Ghz 14 channel transmitter to provide a 14 channel receiver.
The Futaba 6EX is a 2.4 GHz Fasst transmitter so it chould be compatible.
I'm using several of this receivers in combination with a Graupner MX22 with Futaba Fasst module and it works great
Compared with the original futaba receivers you save a lot of money.
Just bench tested this receiver. Servos: 3x HXT-500, 2x Hitec 5625MG, 1x Hitec 7954SH (last 3 pure digital), powered by 2s A123. TX: FX-30.
Both FASST 7 and FASST MULTI modes bind in like 1 second (nice). In normal speed mode all servos work fine. In high speed mode HXT-500 start buzzing and build heat, but still respond to commands. Hitec digitals are working very smooth.

Conclusion - don't connect analog servos to this Rx in HS mode and you'll be fine (just like with original Futaba FASST receivers). Aerial tests to come.

Received mine more than one month after ordering. Only bench tested it with analog servos and 8FG transmitter. Instant bind , servos move very smoothly . Will report when I do my test flights. Only complain are: 1) "no box" (yes I know there is one box comming in less than a month) 2) "no instructions" (yes I have downloaded it from frskys site) . 3) "no label " to remember the chanel number and plug orientation (yes I will do myself a sticker )

Works great, but there are few things to consider: 1) The channel 8 isn't a working channel. You can only use it for battery. So if you consider this for 6ex or something like that to use with headtracking, forget it! 2) Binding is easy, do it by connecting battery to channel 8 and press button on receiver. 3) You must configure this for normal servos by shutting down your futaba transmitter and after that press 6 seconds the button on receiver.

I received my receiver and I'm using a 7C TX but I can't my gyro to work. I have tried a HK 401B AVCS and a detnum GY48V and it neither will work with the receiver the only gyro I can get to work with it is a futaba GY401, I really would like to find a cheaper gyro.

These receivers are great! Connect two of these Rx's together to form a quasi-satellite system with up to 14 Channels!
