who's on first

[blak__jak]

I been messing with r/c's for a lot of years now and have always made it a practice to turn on the t/x first than the r/x and than when shutting down turning r/x off before the t/x. this has always made since to me especially with things like r/c helis where if you turn on the bird first without t/x control it can spin up and be gone in a heartbeat. the reason i'm asking is my buddy just got a new m/t and a sticker on the t/x and another on the radio box says just the opposite. have I been wrong all these years or is this some kind of misprint?

+1 on what u have been doing i do the same.i wouldnt put to much thought into the sticker because when i got my mt the manual they sent me was for a nitro buggy so i don't really think they have a good literature distrubution center...lol...

 

[blak__jak]

yea I know what your saying about the manual. thing is I had little doubt that I was wrong but this is my buddies first r/c and he tends to believe what he reads rather than what he hears so I was hoping to get as many responses to this question as possible so I can let him read for himself.

That's the way I've been doing it for 25 years. I couldn't change now if I tried.

 

[blak__jak]

been a least 40 for me and i'm on autopilot now. wouldn't feel right to change.

+3. it's how i do it as well. it just makes sense.

 

[Motakitty]

I always turn the remote on first and turn it off last

Every decent RC i have ever had ALL said Tx on Rx on, Rx off Tx off.

 

[Dreggsta]

i will say tho, w/the kille bee, it would also be fine to turn the tx off 1st too. always, always & i taught my son this. tx 1st then rx.

 

[blak__jak]

thanks for the come backs. the more the better. this old redneck hillbilly buddy might take some convincing. he's one of those guys that figures that if redcat made it than they should know what their talking about. I tried pointing out the made in china label but he still wasn't convinced.

 

[blak__jak]

i kill my d/r's motor by shutting down the t/x momentarily but turn it right back on until i shutdown the r/x. of course i mean i do it this way because it is equipped with a killer bee switch.

 

[Dreggsta]

yeh the killer bee makes shutdowns real nice lol.

If it says that, it is definitely a misprint. They also say 25% oil mixture. LOL

There is a lot that gets lost in translation with the factory I'm sure.

 

[sanos]

Why do you think people peels off that little sticker "made in china." It's crap!! LOL...

 

[nik81818]

It always needs to be in the order recommended here. If the receiver is ever on when the transmitter is not, the receiver can pick up random signals and interference. That can cause anything from servo damage to a run away.
