Excuse the fact the first boat I picked was an electric one but the next two are Nitro and a Segad 4HP Zenoah I got 4 receivers to have the same transmitter for all my boats and the forth will be another Zenoah as soon as I find a decent hull for the spare motor. Here's my story.

Can some kind soul help me with a trnsmitter/receiver problem I'm having.
It's a Eurgle transmitter and 4 Eurgle receivers. I know they are cheapies but being on a lousy pension it was all I could afford. It's the new one with the LCD display on the side.

I installed the receiver which came with the transmitter into a boat and it works extremely well,

I then took the second receiver and put that into another boat but it wasn't bound so I followed instructions on a Utube video and I got it bound OK. I switch the transmitter on and the LED on the receiver lights up and I have complete control of the rudder servo BUT (there's always a butt, sorry, but) the motor just sits there going beep, flick of the prop, beep flick of the prop and so on and so on. If I hold the trigger as if I'm firing I get a lovely little tune. If I then return to neutral it starts the beep/flick routine (about one a second) I then push the trigger as far forward as I can, I then get another nice tune. But when I start to relax on the throttle the motor starts and thge farther I get to neutral the faster the motor becomes. I tried reversing the throttle which obviously just reversed the situation where I had to hold it hard towards me and then the motor would start up as soon as I went towards neutral.

So from what should be flat out it's in neutral and the further I let it go and then push it into the brake section the faster it goes. I have tried all I can think of and the R2Hobbies genius tells me to just hold the trigger hard on when I connect the battery, position it, replace the cowling and tape it down and launch the boat and then slowly let go of the trigger to make the boat go. The rudder is working OK through all this. So I wonder where this genius thinks I grow another hand to prepare the boat whilst holding the darned trigger?

I've tried the manual but I can't quite get this Chinese/English mixture.

Obviously I've got something setup wrongly but I can't figure out what, CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE? I'm an old man but I can learn new tricks when told.
Regards Stu

Stu,

On some stuff, if you connect things backwards, they work in reverse. Off is on, and vice versa. Depending on the connectors, its possible. Most of the traxxas, deans, etc battery connectors make it almost impossible to reverse it. If the motor is connected with bullet connectors, check them. be careful, I dont know much about electric boats, but if the bullets are reversed, it will do everything in reverse, but on some connecting them backwards may burn the motor out. In most cases, at least with electric planes (which I dabbled in) you have to move the stick all the way forward and then back to neutral to arm the motor. Hope this helps.

Yes, please believe me I've reversed every single lead I possibly can ecept of course the battery lead. I honestly think that will be suicide for the ESC and motor and probably the receiver too. I have another boat I have to fit out so I may buy the parts for it and see what difference that makes. I've proved the system works in the first boat but as I said taking the good one out and trying the other 3 receivers leaves me with the same problem. I've even swapped the ESC and the same problem occured. I'd send the darned things back but with the cost of freight I may as well just bin them. Which leaves me with different transmitters for different boats. Which is against the reason for buying one transmitter with 4 receivers. I just can't believe no matter what I adjust or change leves the same problem apart from shift neutral from one end or the other of the triggers travel to get neutral. I'm still none the wiser as to what the auxillary button does on the back of the transmitter alongside the reset switch on the module. Also wouldn't you reckon in this day and age a company would take the time to get a manual translated correctly.They can't even tell you the models name can hold eight letters or numbers, it's eight words according to the manual. That I can read round but Wow! some of the translations sound as if they were carried out after a 6 day drinking binge.

Hi Stu, are you running a brushed or brushless system? Swithing you wires will only effect the rotation direction, it shouldn't have any effect on the transmitter. Have you gone online to try and find a different version of the manual? When you try different setups, are you using the same esc? I would try switching things out...! AT A TIME!! in your system that works and see if you can find the problem that way...servo, esc, battery, try everything and see if you get a change (problem) crop up. Hopes this helps. I was having similar problems with an electric pusher jet... Problem was a wire loose...internal esc. Replaced and have been flying that jet ever since!!! Good luck!!

Hello Dude,

Thanks for replying, I have honestly tried everything and agyer 2 days solid I have written to the Dealer R2Hobbies and asked for the latest model with 4 receivers. I and a few others are convinced the receivers are from the new model Transmitter. The RX which came in the box with the new TX works really well and I was happy with my purchase but then to find that on exactly the same settings all 3 spare RX simply don't work, was too much of a coincidence. All the Rx are identical and I've changed ESCs motors, checked all, wiring and even changed complete boats. I even went so far as to copy every setting in the complete setup on the working boat to another channel (they allow 8 memory slots)and still the same problem at switch on. I've studied the beep routines and spent hours deciphering the Chinglish manual but all I get is the servo working perfectly but the throttle either wanting fully back or fully forward for neutral with the opposite end as flat out. So it can't be the transmitter at fault as it drives one boat and receiver perfectly but swap that RX out for any of the three and back to the original fault.

So I've ruled out absolutely everything but the 3 receivers so it has to be them. The day I purchased the transmitter in the morning. By the afternoon they were advertising the new model so I think someone just grabbed 3 new ones think they were compatible but we've found out that with my TX there is a curve allowance to the controls but it isn't in the new one so that makes me think there is a difference in the rx as well. Sorry I nearly forgot it's a brushless system. As I said I've swapped the motor and ESC so they aren't faulty. The good rx will drive all 3 boats I've tried it in. But none of the 3 RX will work anything correctly.

At least I now know how the whole menu system works and what to adjust it all to. The boat is the simplest RC unit to control. Most of the menu is set aside strictly for the cars. Plus these Transmitters and receivers are NOT for use in aircraft, why I don't know

Thanks for your interest I will post what the outcome is with the new one I've ordered. Because if my thinking is correct. I'll end up with one TX and RX which works and another TX and 8 RX which work
