Transponder connection

[oskygt]

OK guys, just to be sure, i'm using all 3 channels on my reciever, how do I connect my transponder if I have no vacant channels?, do I use a Y cord and run it off the switch? I'd apreciate any help, Thanks.

You would use a y plug and run it off of your 3rd channel.

A transponder only needs power. It can plug in anywhere. Just put a splitter cable or micro splitter anywhere after the on/off power switch.

I'd cut the switch off too - it's another thing to go wrong.

Thanks alot guys for the help, and yes Mike, I'm thinking of eliminating the on/off switch.

A simple plug into the battery is the best way, some use Tamiya, deans and I use FG, I'm sure there are others just as good but it cuts out all the doubt.

Do you race in a track or parking lot?

Mike, right now we practice on a parking lot, but are planning to have our first race on a real track in the comming weeks to introduce the class, (touring) to the people over here, I have a 2007 comp. chassis.
