Geoff Gardiner Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hi all. I have purchased a Taranis and am getting to grips with it - liking it so far. I have had to take it apart and adjust the tension on the throttle stick as it was not completely shutting off and I was getting a throttle warning when switching on. This tweak combined with calibrating the throws seems to have solved the issue. Has anyone else had this problem? My main question is that I have upgraded the battery to a HobbyKing 1500mah 9.9v Life tx battery, and I am not sure what to set the battery meter range and low battery alarm to - for best results. Has anyone encountered this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Gardiner Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 One more question if I may: Do the two antennas on the X8R receiver need to be placed at 90 degrees to each other to best reception? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Skilbeck Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Geoff, in answer to your last question, it doesn't matter on the make of Rx, but for best reception it's best to have the aerial at 90 deg to the transmitter and worst when it is in line with the transmitter , by setting the Rx aerials at 90 deg to each other you will never have two Rx aerials pointing at the transmitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Allen Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I had the throttle stick problem, the stick would pop back up a bit from idle. Adjusted the screw, and all is good now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 throttle sticking - me too, not enough tension on the spring. Low battery - mine is set too 9.3v and range 8.0-10.5v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle 899 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I've bought this battery for my Taranis Plus but the power connector is the wrong one. Is it simply a matter of moving the positive wire in the black plug and using that, or do I need an adaptor?

Martyn K Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Can you use the internal charger with a LiFe battery? M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bott - Moderator Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The internal charger is for NiMhs. Any other type should be charged externally. That's why I've stuck to the LSD nimh pack. It seems to last months between charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Thanks Chris That is what I thought but it seemed sensible to ask the stooped question in case anyone else thought otherwise. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle 899 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Using an iCharger 306B I put my HK 1500mah Life battery on a balance charge. All well until it sounded a warning beep and the screen read High Voltage cell. I took the battery off and checked the voltages: 3.32.3.32 & 3.72 Does that indicate a u/s battery or might a re-cycle charge fix it? The battery is three months old.

Mike Blandford Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Clearly the cells are out of balance. Whether you charger will do this I don't know, but you could try putting it on a charge at just 100 or 200mA. With any luck the balancing circuit will then hold the high cell off from getting charged until the other two come up to the same voltage. The balancing circuits often operate at 100 to 200 mA. Mike.
