So as much fun as I had in the brief time with the 9Xtreme that I did... the Jumper T16 Pro Hall came out.

So self help... this guide will work the same with a 9Xtreme 9X that has the black FrSky wire soldered to pin#5 on the back 9X board which is the only mod you need to do for smartport telemetry. I have a nimh battery that usually sits over 10v so I spent the $10 to order the FTDI and some jumper wir...

I ordered the EU X8R receiver by accident and I have a XJT I got in the USA with a 9Xtreme Turnigy 9X running the latest ersky9x. Is it just as easy as using a regular Taranis to flash the receiver to the USA firmware? Is it even needed, like... will the EU receiver just work out of the box and I sh...

As the title states. Replaced with a 9xtreme setup so no need for them. Worked fine but wanted the extra capabilities of the 9xtreme. Come with screws, spacers and the mini usb port. Easy no solder solution to give your 9x a massive upgrade and telemetry. $50 shipped anywhere. Can include a FrSky DJ...

If you can find one of the smartieparts boards for telemetry an XJT just needs a wire soldered to the #5 pin on the back board which is the big bare metal spot and that's literally it. I made a want ad for a 9xtreme and found one. I have a smartieboard and telemetrez board I replaced with the 9xtrem...

Yeah I've already been blown away by how much c**p I've been able to do with Ersky9x and I'm sure I'm just scratching the surface.

Anyone make em?

Thanks

Any link to how you did the metal standoffs? I have a feeling I'm going to be opening the radio more than a few times and one of the plastic standoffs is already about at the limit of how much more I can ream out and then use a bigger screw on...

Yeah I've seen that thread and definitely gonna look at haptic and the M9 gimbals too eventually but this 9x has so little use the stock gimbals still feel really good so not messing with them for now. Still crazy to me how far radios have come... I still have my old Futaba 72mhz 6 channel Skysport ...

Just wanted to say thanks for the help and thanks again to Kilrah for hooking me up with the board. Thing is awesome and I've been messing with it nonstop. Love having voice and all the other bells/whistles. Might look at adding haptic at some point but for now its more than enough. Charge port work...

Edit, nevermind was a bad cable after all... go figure. Just worked this afternoon...

Its a XJT module. Its what's in the Taranis... Ugh I might just keep the lipo in it and put the nimh battery in my old FM Futaba I still use for servo checks etc...

Well with the Taranis battery 1.1 per cell is low so 1.1x6=6.6 as my bare minimum voltage. I'll set it at 6.8 and call it. And yes I will remember to properly pin the thing.

Yeah I have the old Smartieparts 3 plug balance to Spectrum adapter on it now so I can just plug anything with a Spectrum plug right in. I'll just swap the pins when the Taranis battery comes in so it all lines up. The battery is the 2600mah unit so I'm hoping it'll last all day without issue. It's ...

Thanks for the heads up! If it's different I'll just have to redo the plug to match.

What is 6.8 or 7.0 a good alarm setting? Everything on the 9xtreme will get enough juice from the Taranis battery correct?

Ok well I have a brand new 7.2v Taranis 2500mah nimh with the correct balance plug to snap right into the 9Xs rear port. So I'm assuming that'll work I will just have to set my voltage alarms appropriately. 7.2v pack is enough to operate everything 100% right? Module is an XJT. I'm going to assume y...

Question. I have a lipo for it now, but I have a few old school futaba nimh chargers that fit the charge port on the 9x. If I were to put a nimh battery in it, would it be able to charge via the charge port? I know it's fine with the lipo but I don't like having to pull the battery and stuff it and ...

Out with the old and in with the circa 2015 new.

Came so fast in the mail my xjt and microsd still are not here so gotta keep waiting to close it up. Xjt probably won't get here from Hong Kong and then milair for another 2 weeks...

Oh well thanks again!

Damn I've been buying and selling online since like 1997 when I started on ebay and this is definitely one of the fastest shippers I've dealt with. Thanks so much!

Before I just buy a Taranis or a used 9XR Pro? I have a smartieboard 9x from 2013 that I'd like to upgrade to voice. I have 0 idea how to make my own so I figured I'd ask here even if its not likely. Thanks.

Well I did mine the other night, just used a pair of wire cutters and 10 seconds later was GTG. Obviously after I removed the circuit board. I'm also running a TelemetrEZ board so instead of running the wires out of the back of the radio and plugging into the DJT externally I made a hole in the DJT ...

Well I'm the OP and I finally got back from a business trip and all my stuff was waiting from HK and Smartieparts. Modded the back of the 9X so the DJT plugs right in, installed the smartieboard/backlight, loaded ER9X, then installed the TelemetrEZ board and routed the telemetry wires internally so ...

This is good stuff, just orderd a 9x and I'm sure mine will be like this. Looks like I need to go get a $5 cutter wheel to go into my Dewalt...

Ok, well I bought the SP board and the SP Telemetry board so I'm GTG with my DJT module, I bought the Turnigy 9x with no module specifically to go telemetry via the DJT so it comes just like the XR. Like I said I was not worried about out of the box ability to fly, I understand the XR and the module...

So even with the DJT in the back of the XR it won't show telemetry on the screen? Looking more at the XR... if the X9D is $150 and they offer a fully ready to fly XR for $75-$100 it might be attractive to someone on a mega budget that does not want to spend the money/time modding a 9X I suppose. Is ...

Interesting discussion. I have several 9x fully moded as well as sky 9x systems. I bought many of the FS-9x radios several years ago at $36 ea when the price war was on. No I didn't pay full price as today so I'm ahead in hobby $ there. Radio mods became a hobby of its own for me. My plan will be t...

Second guessing myself a little for ordering a 9X over a XR or waiting another 2 or 3 months for the X9D to come out. Got a Turnigy 9X without a module and then put a FrSky DJT in it, got a smartieboard and TelemetrEZ (I don't have steady hands and don't trust myself soldering) and the LCD backlight...

Just grabbed a 9X off HobbyPartz after deciding the 9XR is too new and has some issues I am not comfortable with. I wound up getting a few extra receivers to get the order up to $100 for free shipping and I'm wondering if the regular non-telemetry Flysky receivers work when one does the FrSky DHT in...
