random question.
The dx6 charger is 11.6v with 120v input would i have any problems if i used a 12v adapter from a drill charger?
I read the dx6 dose not have a charging diode inside so would i have to wire one up? _________________ Tim Team Reaper.

If you have a charger that can charge NiCad’s just cut the plug end off the plug pack 110-volt charger and make an adapter lead.
We just use whichever triton isn’t doing anything to top up the TX's.
Best to cycle the TX batteries 2 or 3 times occasionally they can have almost no capacity and you cant do that easily on just a trickle charger.
If you put a diode in the TX charging circuit you couldn’t cycle the batteries
with the charger. _________________ Satisfaction is proportional to effort and results.

On the dx6 can you set a throttle limit? _________________ Tim Team Reaper.

Dx5 failsafe
Not sure if this is totally useless at this stage, but rebinding with the sticks centered didn't really help as I was using the spring return side anyway, but what I found was that using exponential and binding with hi-rates on seemed to fix the problem. And I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but the other times I binded it, the transmitter battery indicator were not at the 'full' stage. Hope this helps
EDIT: Yeah, you have to bind it on full battery for it to failsafe properly, I tried re-binding it on 3/4 battery and it had that reversing problem.
EDITEDIT: I just did another test with full batteries and no exponential or hi-rates and it works fine. So as long as you bind in full batteries, you're good to go. _________________ It seemed like a good idea on paper...

dx5 is DSM2 so i imagine it would. i think dx6 is just DSM1.
or you could just buy the $30 one for the price of the reciever alone. the reciever in that is basically 10mm longer then the specs they state anyway + it takes normal servo leads. _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts
