When you get the juvenile version and you want to crimp or solder a servo plug on the universal wire, make sure you use black RED and white. Not yellow! 6:39
Yeh very strange that the servo plug cable uses yellow as + and not red? universal wire would be black - Red + and then choose you sig wire yellow for UART White for PPM and brown for s bus.
On one hand, I do like the ability to use it as a 'range extender', placing the FRM303 in a location of the user's choosing. On the other hand, I don't understand why they had to make the configuration so "confusing"...meaning, having to use two receivers. With other signal boosters, such as the TBS Crossfire, the signal booster is connected directly to the Tx (similar to how the FRM303 would be connected to the Paladin Tx), thus only one receiver is needed. One thing that will be interesting to find out is what the maximum controllable distance is. Using (again) the TBS Crossfire as a comparison, TBS claims a range of 80 km, and I know they have maintained controllable contact of a plane at 45 miles. For surface use, I don't know what the maximum range of the Crossfire is...but, once mine is delivered (it's "out for delivery" right now), and the weather cools down a bit (we've been getting over 100°F temps), that is one thing I definitely plan on testing.
So you can just connect it directly into the circuit board of the transmitter like any other range extender and the range on 2w power is 80km with no interference and no obstruction just this has the ability to be run from a receiver too if you don't want the hassle or risk of taking the tx apart
@@WTFRCCars With The Crossfire, connecting to the RC8X, no "modding". The RC8X has a DSC port, which can be used for plugging in an FPV headset, or a TBS Crossfire. Connection on the Tx is a 3.5mm jack.
@ninthislandrc The main issue with range extenders is for land use they are all illegal almost everywhere in the world so if a transmitter is deemed to be directly supporting a range booster attached to the transmitter they can be banned from sale
@@WTFRCCars Here, in the US, they're legal...with exceptions. I might be remembering incorrectly...but, last I remember, up to 1W is allowed for ground use. Overall, the FCC allows higher power usage. That would also explain why, for the Noble transmitters ,FlySky has an 'FCC' firmware version (ie. higher power output), and a 'standard' firmware version. Of course, on both sides of the pond, were always free to "max out" the power...as long as we don't get caught. 🙃
Hey there.. so I'm just setting up my frm303. When I plug in the 2s lipo to the rx with the 303 in the OFF position. It lights up red and with beeps as well.
Is there a way to pm you? I just got some fgr8b's and when I get to the binding of the second rx. I hit the toggle to the right and get nothing. Up down Or right, but if I hit left toggle I get a red light and beep
I been waiting for this video & Thanks ~ but i need to know how to connect it directly into the circuit board of the transmitter ~ i don't want to use 2 receiver & have to rebind it every time i switch cars ~ i take 2 or 3 cars out with me when i go to do my speed runs & to have to rebind each cars would get annoying.
It doesn't connect internally, and you don't have to re bind each time you swap rc's, you will still need to bind to the range extender but it remembers the receivers upto 10 I believe, but the receiver used for the range extender is only bound once and doesn't need re binding if you swap rc's
@NorcalSpeedAddiction it very likely can but not easily as that is not what it's designed for :) you would need to find an sbus or ppm output on the radios circuit board and solder to it so far easier to run the receiver and far more convenient too :)
Does anyone know if you can program SW1 or SW2 to D/R 100% with the push of either button? I sometimes run a low D/R and in some instances need 100% quickly. Also, can you change the trigger throw to 80/20 instead of the 50/50?
Fantastic video, it’s just a shame I have fitted Turbowing boosters to both my nb4 & pro

@@WTFRCCars VCC on the universal wire is Red, on the factory servo plug wire VCC is yellow.
So if you take black, yellow, white it won't work!

@ninthislandrc yep but the range extenders are 2w so twice the power allowed :)

sounds like the switch is not working

Hi I have wtfrccars Facebook group ya can contact me in there :)

You can set any dial to adjust DR and and switch to switch it in/off
@@WTFRCCars Thx works like a charm.
@2sipsMax no worries
