Just stopped working?

[Jshaff16]

Had both rigs out today and out of no where it just shut down. As if the tx and rx lost connection. Is that a thing? See attached pick after I walked way out to the back 40 to carry it back in...all red lights. Nothing recognized each other. Weird.

 

[Rep732]

try to re bind? Maybe mud got on a connection?

 

[Seandonato73]

Oh boy not good...

 

[Jshaff16]

I got a feeling it's water related.

 

[Seandonato73]

I think your rx shat the bed

 

[Jshaff16]

Me too unfortunately. I think the rx in my mini t is telemetry as well. Will look into tomorrow

 

[DougStar]

I think your rx shat the bed

Bob thats your fault??‍????

 

[Jshaff16]

Not another one!!

In all reality it was running driving midway through the field and shut down. Was very weird

 

[Seandonato73]

Rx box not sealed right?

 

[Rep732]

[cbaker65]

Dirt has a certain amount of metals in it ,take it apart an blow the poop out of it an re bind ,an keep it cleaner!

 

[Jshaff16]

[cbaker65]

Like actually seal it lol

It doesn't have to be perfectly sealed ,but yea ,receivers should be kept clean ,an layed in a soft spot like on a foam pad
to keep clean & vibrations ,hits an jolts from it!...

 

[Jshaff16]

Ima plug it all back in next day or two and hopefully it does what it's supposed to

 

[Jshaff16]

Just to report back...it's working again. Let it sit for like 4 days til I had time to mess with it again.

Thought about putting one of the silica gel things in rx tray. The ones that dry out moisture. Don't even know if that the proper name but yeah
