Hey guys, so I have a very weird issue going on with my Xmaxx.
I have a nearly brand new xmaxx that in day ONE I swapped the Radio/Receiver over to a FlySky FSGT3C. This is the remote I use on 5 of my other trucks, buggy’s, and boats (all 1/8 scale).
From the very first moment I ran my new truck with this FlySky Remote and RX Iv had an issue with both the throttle and steering when the truck gets a certain distance away. This can happen anywhere from 50-75FT. Away. What happens is the throttle I am giving it sticks even when I let off the throttle on my controller, when the throttle sticks the steering will ALSO stick to wherever it was set at last when the throttle stuck. Also sometimes the truck will brake all by itself and random times and the truck can also feel very laggy from the inputs I am giving it on my remote.
Now I had an xmaxx 8s 2nd Gen years ago that I used the exact same remote and RX on and it had the SAME EXACT ISSUE.. I was never able to find out what was causing it and eventually sold the truck when I got out of the hobby for a bit so naturally when the same issue came back on my new truck I told myself “this 100% has to be the remote or the RX.
What I have tried to fix it:
-First thing I did was I swapped out the original FLYSKY RX that was used in both of my xmaxxs to a BRAND NEW RX. This did not fix the issue.
-Second thing I did was I purchased a new FlySKY remote (same exact model) … I bound the new remote to the new RX and still had the SAME issue!!
-I eventually assumed it HAD to be the stock traxxass ESC so I bought a brand new Max 6 and installed it.. SAME ISSUE STILL!
I am at my whitts end with this truck. I really don’t wanna go back to the factory remote as I love my FlySKY and have all my other RCs programmed to the same remote. This issue does NOT exist with any other RC truck I own and use with this FlySky system.
This issue MUST have something to do with the two wires in the xmaxx RX box.. (The ones with the grey and red RX plugs) One is for motor temp and the other Is for TSM.. I have never had either of them plugged in from day one when I first swapped to my FlySky because I didn’t want to use them..
I’m thinking that the factory TSM and temp sensors are creating some type of interference issue with my FlySky remote and RX which are still in the RX box tucked in close to the FlySky RX? Even tho they are not plugged in.. I feel that they must be somehow causing this interference issue iv had with my remote/RX since thats what it feels like is happening when I get too far away and because this is my SECOND 8s xmaxx to have this exact same issue.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! And YES I have reprogrammed the throttle neutral and brake settings over and over again on both the stock traxxass ESC AND this new HobbyWing max 6 to make sure that it wasn’t just an ESC programming issue and it is NOT.
PLEASE HELP before I go insane
