Doug, Are you using the signal booster for the Victors or some other system? My Victors are connected to the IMX-1 mixer which boost the signal strength and eliminates the need for the inline boosters. I'm wondering if something in the Victor has become marginal and not getting signal anymore. This is from the Team Delta website:
"*I hooked everything up properly and the the status LED just blinks. But when I plug an R/C servo into the same receiver channel it works fine. Is my Victor defective?* No you just need an inline signal buffer. Many radio receivers cannot source enough current on the R/C signal line to drive the Victor so an extra part is needed. Experience has shown that most Futaba receivers require the buffer, Hitec do not. The inline buffer is available from me, from IFI, and possibly from your local hobby shop. Alternate names are "elevon amplifier" and "long cable filter." We also sell them, above." Good luck isolating it. I believe IFI will repair like Vantec will. If you need an 883 to get you through the next battle day, I'm sure I could be convinced to let you borrow one of mine providing you don't blow it up. ;) Derek T065 On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 10:56 AM, Doug Conn <[email protected]> wrote: > The problem follows the Victor.
