I had problems getting the unit to work correctly when connecting a power supply to the reciever at first. I re-read the instructions and found this: "If using a receiver pack, do not connect power to the 5V line of the Sabertooth because the maximum voltage it can tolerate is 6V." I took the reciever power away, and it runs perfectly. I can't explain the science, but it works. From my understanding of the instructions, it would also work if i left the battery and disconnected the power lead from the rc plug (don't connect the red rc wire to the 5v terminal, just the grnd(black) lead and reference (yellow/white) lead. It works for me so far, when i power up the tank, its just one switch righ now.
I'm using a Spektrum 6xi, and dual recievers, one for the drive system and one for the turret. Figure if the drive system craps out in battle, i'll still have a working gun emplacement... :) -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
