I got into a bit of a pickle this wet Saturday afternoon, after deciding to fit that cheap fan I bought on Temu.
After taking the receiver out of its box, with the car switched off, I plugged it into channel three. I was so pleased when I switched the car on and the fan started to work.
This moment of triumph was soon forgotten when the realisation that nothing else would work became apparent. No signal LED on the receiver, no throttle and/or steering.
After trying a number of unsuccessful engineer resets (switch on/switch off). In despair I unplugged the new fan and attempted to bind the transmitter to the receiver. I got this to eventually work, by trying a number of different on/off, push the bind button combinations until the little LED started flashing to show pairing mode. In typical foolhardy fashion, I plugged the fan back in only to have to repeat the whole frustrating process again. Fan now set aside!
My question is, is there a reason that the fan caused this receiver fault to occur. It seems it must of been the culprit?
Also, would I be better off buying a splitter cable and plugging it into the ESC, where a fan is already connected. I have added some picture below for clarity.
It must be possible to add a fan, as Corally have helpfully created a ’blank’ position for one by the motor.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
