2.4 ghz twin recievers in Twin outriggers?

[Tom Levescy]

How do you twin guys do it? Me and my son are thinking of building a twin FE rigger but we are thinking of taking Don Maher's twin tub idea and building a twin tub FE and we thought you might be able to do recievers in each tub. So can you???

All my twins run dual RXs. It's rather simple- 2 switches, 2 RXs, 2 battery packs. Set one switch, pack & RX combo for your steering and the other combo for your ESCs (use a Y harness to tie both ESCs to your throttle output on the RX). I know the Futaba FASST 2.4 RXs have no issues whatsoever running together and you bind them just like you do a single. As for other brands I'd think it would be the same but it would be best to ask someone who runs what you do if it's not Futaba.

All my twins have dual receivers. Only way to go with a twin. Starting to think about twin receivers in my single 90's only because of safety.

See pictures of one of my twin radio boxes.

Dual receivers all the way. Safety first!!!!

Better Contact to Tyler Garrard . He knew about "FE" rigger and watch out " Danger Fire" Good luck!

You can do it no problem with normal Futaba Fasst receivers. They will operate as many as you bind to it.

The new telemetry Futaba receivers will only pair one model with one receiver.

Not that anybody would be crazy enough to run Spectrum but they are one model number to one receiver also.

Twin switches, twin Life 2300 batteries. One receiver for the steering one for the throttle.

what second receiver do I need to bind together with a 4px for a twin if the telemetry one won't work?

The 4PX is not compatible with any 3 channel Fasst receivers so you would have to use two four channel Fasst receivers.

The R614FS would be the ones you want to use.

 

[steve wood]

what about another one like the 4px comes with ,the r304sb

The R304SB is a telemetry receiver and as we discussed that will not work. You can only bind one model number to one telemetry receiver.

 

[steve wood]

where is this info in the manual,and what other receivers will work. the r614fs is $120, twice the cost of a r304sb, that's just stupid

 

[Daniel's Racing]

Steve,

I was wrong as I forgot about the S-FHSS 3/4 channel receivers.

You can probably bind two of the S-FHHS 3 channel receivers to one model number.

Here is a chart of what works. Pretty sure any that are not telemetry will work and bind more than one to a single model freely. I never messed with the S-FHSS much and never tried binding two of them to a single model but almost certainly they will.

I can only imagine how many poor souls are buying these 4PX's and thinking they can still use their 3 channel R603FS and R603FF Fassst receivers only to find out they can't. What the heck was Futaba thinking. They sure as heck aren't advertising that fact and everyone I have heard that bought a 4PX was expecting to be able to do just that.

4 PX Fasst receiver compatibility,

Do I need twin receivers on my 56" twin FE cat "Genesis" ?

 

[Kevin Krogness]

Gilbert you don't need them but it's recommend as extra insurance.

 

[Gilbert Pun]

Thanks, the awesome speed on the twin sometimes scare me off to throttle up to top speed.

 

[Kevin Krogness]

Put it this way. If I had 2-3,000$ or more wrapped up in a boat like some of these guys I would definitely have 2 receivers!!!

Even if the technology is 20X better then the old radios.

Daniel...........

First........ There isn't, and never has been, any problems with the Spektrum system. I'm getting SO tired of hearing this CRAP. I've been running the Spektrum system since the day they were available without so much as a single glitch. You set them up correctly, as with any other system, and they operate perfectly. Every time. Period. Any deviation from this statement is caused by user error. Period.

Second....... Get your "facts" straight. While I don't' know anything about the FASST Telemetry systems, I can tell you, without a doubt, you can bind more than one RX to a TX with the Spektrum system. Been there, done that. It works perfectly.

Third.......... Why on EARTH would anyone put two complete radio systems in the same radio box? The sole purpose of tandem radios is so they can be COMPLETELY isolated from one another and prevent one failure from taking them both out. With both in the same radio box, something as simple as a water leak could easily spell s-p-l-i-n-t-e-r-s.

Thanks. Brad.

so i need to know for FACT.. i have a 4px futaba radio system.. apparently futaba is out to lunch for the next quarter as they do not answer there phones and hobbico customer service has no clue

I need to run dual recievers.. i need to order them NOW as the telemetry won't work as been discussed eariler.. so WHAT RECIEVERS WILL? i know this radio is new and probably not a whole lot of people use the yet but i am hoping someone does.. I need to know for a fact.. i don't want to order 200 plus for recieivers to find out they didn't work

SO if anyone knows please let me know

thanks

If you want the best you want to utilize the Fasst modulation. Any Fasst 4 channel receivers will for sure work.

It will bind and operate as many receivers as you have bound to that model number.

How long have you been running spark ignition boats with the Spectrum system.

To each his own by all means if you like it and have no problems that is perfect.

Myself and many others seem to have had repeated range issues in GAS boats on the water with properly installed radio's of that brand.

What can I tell you except myself having two different boats with new transmitter and both with marine receivers with two separate tubes for the antenna's and both hit the failsafe in the first lap in the same corner. The lake was really small besides. No range. You could not trust the link whatsoever. Dropout for no reason on your part.

The system I had I am 99% sure would only bind one receiver to each model number. You could bind all the receivers you want but they had to be on different model numbers. The models were specific to the receiver they were bound to and only allow for binding with a single one per model. If you bound a second one to a model with a receiver with already on it then the the first was no longer active..

If your running with the Fasst receiver that has been waterproofed it will work under water as long as the antenna is up.
