Please help

Will try

Also does it matter that the wire from the vesc to the receiver is a very long one

#4

come join us here. we are having fun :joy:

SO replaced wire and batteries and the signal is even worse I guess I need a new receiver

#6

Ive seen this around but donā€™t know the reliability of it but you could try adding a ferrite bead to the cable.

What exactly is that

#8

So come to conclusion that receiver is broken

Was wondering if I could use any 2.4ghz receiver or has to be for this remote

Also could anyone link one

#9

There are some linked in the thread.

I have run across bad receivers before, but they didnā€™t have these symptoms. Not saying itā€™s not broken. Those bad receivers Iā€™ve come across USUALLY donā€™t work or power on once the bind plug is pulled.

So sometimes it decides to power up and often it doesnā€™t I have to put in the cable a couple times before it powers on

#11

Also do you know where I can and buy just the receiver from

#12

Itā€™s in that thread in post 1. I donā€™t want to put the link here again in case it changes, then it only has to be changed in 1 place.

Sounds like a bad cable. You say you tried more than 1 cable?

The remotes are cheap on ebay/aliexpress, about $25-30usd. Theyā€™re sold split, about $15 each, but I dunno itā€™s so cheap, and good to have spares, no?

wow this is the cheapest Iā€™ve ever seen

Might have to grab a few.

ebay UK search link:

Even cheaper on alie wow

SO i need a jst-ph-2.0 which goes into the receiver on the other end

Anyone know where I can buy that

#18

wanted your suggestions:

over last couple months i have bought tons of remotes and all have broken or died

vx1: receiver broke and they dont sell spares

nanox: charge port broke

mini remote: receiver broke

what do you guys think i should go for now

#19

I see 3. Is 3 a ton?

These remotes are cheaply made, so theyā€™ll break with abuse (or just use sometimes). Iā€™d say get a few minis, I think they offer the best compromises.

PS Iā€™m doubtful the receiver broke, leaning toward wiring fault, which may follow you to the next remote.
