5 spekky Rx's die after plasti-dipping ?

[gsbuickman]

Sorry Ya'll ,

When I posted this last night I was really frustrated & a touch of pissed off, however it was not my intention too knock spekky, nor did I. I don't want to cause any arguments either

Darin, as far as the recievers I had issues with, they are not generic clones from chi-com.

The recievers that I had issues with are Spectrum SR3001 Pro series DSM, and 1 SR300 Spectrum surface Rx. I have them bound to my Airtronics M11 because it has a genuine Spekky SM1001 DSM module in it, not a clone like Corona or orange Rx from HK. I didn't install it, this is the system like I got it.

I can report that 2 of the pro series reciever's have started working again, that'll get me by for now. I'll fiddle with the other 3 when I finish my project boats .....

So, you mean to tell me that THIS is the RX in question??

GIVE ME A BREAK!

From the Spektrum RC website for the SR3100:

"Horizon Hobby, Inc. disclaims all support and warranty with regards, but not limited to, compatibility and performance of counterfeit products or products claiming compatibility with DSM2 or Spektrum products."

"Attention: Horizon Hobby has confirmed that all Spektrum Products being sold by KoKo Technology are counterfeit. We consider it a danger to use these products, waive all liability and will not support any warranty or service in regards to them."

There ARE Spektrum modules that were available for the Airtronics and Futaba TXs awhile back.

I guess I don't just have great luck... I use REAL Spektrum parts!

Please don't come on this forum and bitch about the poor performance and quality of Spektrum parts, when you aren't even using them!

Despite what the 13-year-olds posting all over the forums about how "this proves that Spektrum buys their parts from someone else", these are NOT Spektrum parts. They are clones, made by 10-year-olds in China, and are NOT made to the same standards and quality that genuine Spektrum parts are made to.

If you are having issues with these, it's on you, not Spektrum.

I'm done!

It wasn't clear from the links, but where did you buy these?

If you bought them from Target Hobby, they are counterfeits. Target Hobby does not sell genuine Spektrum products - never has, never will.

Question for you Spektrum guru's.....how susceptible to ESD are the Spektrum RX?
Thanks!

Hi Andy ,

Sorry but Darin jumped the gun thinking these were sr3100 clones due to my typo.This is what I have, and I never buy anything from value hobby , never have never will.

Now, the question everyone is dying to ask you is, when are you going to start making us some brushless motor ESC's, because your brushed esc's are a awesome .....

Part of our testing for all electronics is Human Body Model ESD testing, which starts at 10kV. Most of them survive just fine way beyond that. This is necessary for the surface (SR = car) receivers because carpet tracks are HUGE sources of ESD. It's necessary for our airplane receivers (AR = air) because they generate a pretty good voltage on them too, especially the jets. It's not as necessary for boats (MR = Marine) because water and humidity draw the electrons away rather than allowing them to build up, but our Marine receivers use both the SR and AR designs and as a result reap those benefits.

From a practical sense, ESD is not an issue.

That's good to know.
Thanks Andy!

In light of this thread I thought it prudent to write a warning on gsbuikman's Plasti-Dip-reciever-how-to... thread, the process of which is looking like it may have killed 5 receivers. I am rather surprised that the OP has not mentioned his consequences there himself yet.

It's possible that, if these rx's have connectors on the antennas (ie, not soldered) that the dip got inside the connector. That will make it unusable and worse - unrepairable.
