just bought the gimble unit and will keep the bits in the spares box

Does anyone know where I can get a spring kit to make the left stick (throttle) self centring on my Fly sky TH9X radio as it is being used to drive a truck and not aircraft

or do I have to buy a complete gimble unit to get the spring and the lever that makes it self centring

Rather than change the transmitter weighting and offsets. Can you use a hole closer to the servo, so that the throw is reduced. Also alter the steering link length so it runs straight. It is always preferable to get things as close as possible right mechanically, before reverting to adjusting thing...

TX fully calibrated and I like Eepe and the way it works allowing you to set up a model on the pc and then transferring it to the TX. got to alter the mix for the steering on the truck, as it throws the servo arm too far and rocking the truck on its suspension at full throw, do I go into mix and red...

I stumbled on calibrate radio by mistake and have used Eppe to set the pots to the hydraulics on the truck and it works Sorry to have been a thick person on here asking dumb questions, but this afternoon has been rather frustrating in installing the smarty parts board and the back light, then re-fla...

Update I got the TX flashed with ER9X and used eepe to flash it companion 9x was giving me error messages I am thick I did not realise that the er9x had to be in the same folder as the eepe application file almost got the radio reset to the truck and the back light on the ELE D/R switch just got to ...

have not got a clue as to what I'm doing
I also did not get any error messages because it appears to do nothing

is there an idiots guide on here on how to flash the TX

well the red LED comes on, on the smartie parts board so I presume the pc is talking to the board
I have the drivers installed on the pc for the smartie parts board

got the backlight installed in the TX
got the Smartie parts board V2.4 installed in the TX
got companion 9x installed on the pc
and got nowhere

after much thought I have decided to stick to the basic 8 channels

it took me several attempts to download and install the new version of companion9x, because my anti-virus software did not like it

hmm Life is complicated enough trying to figure out the settings on a simulated reflashed radio using companion 9x

2 receivers yes, but active at the same time of course. 2 modules, 2 receivers. so if you have eight channels on the TX, how do you control the second set of channels sorry for the silly questions, but I am new to using an complicated aircraft radio, I have used Planet T5's and T7's to control 1/14...

I take it that I need another receiver in the truck to get 16 channels and that I have to switch between the two units

every rc operator always wants more channels to operate their truck, tank, boat, aircraft the list is endless

Ohh... So your walk around with Companion (or Eepe) was a positive experience? I have the hobbyking backlight on order and should get it soon, it looks like it is a very easy upgrade to the TX, Yes that will be easy as you will be plugging it into the Smartieparts card. as per the instructions. :) ...

I must admit I thought it was P A N T S and not P A R T S LOL

programming board ordered

I have the hobbyking backlight on order and should get it soon, it looks like it is a very easy upgrade to the TX, the smartieparts board is out of stock and I have no idea when it will be in stock, just have to wait I guess

Maybe a 'try before you buy' might work for you. Install Companion9x on your PC and have a play with things. It will give you a good idea of what you will have after you have put in the SP board. You will find lots of people here who will be happy to help out with programming questions concerning O...

when I said I could not get my head around the modifications I was talking about soldering to the main PCB and I have never done any of that just soldered connectors and pots and power leads to boards but never soldered components or wires to tracks on the board I have had a look at the various opti...

The Th9x is using stock FW. I can not get my head around the re-flashing of the radio and mods to it

could I replace the pots on the top of the TX with a Centre Click Detent Balance / Equaliser Pot, Splined Shaft Potentiometer of the same value of the original pots as sold on fleabay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Centre-Click-Detent-Balance-Equaliser-Pot-Splined-Shaft-Potentiometer-/120773954710?pt=UK_...

Thanks for the reply an help

I have bought a flysky TH9X to control a truck that I have built and was wondering if the pots can be changed for three position switches that are centre off and non locking in both direction new radio (though not to most on here) http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee277/brelewart/rollon_off%20conta...
