I've had no problems binding two old hack modules with the newer V8R4-II rx's.

Done the Hack conversion on a couple of my flying radios but has anyone used the DJT plug in modual with the Esprit III ?

Finally got round to converting my esprit 2, worked a treat
As I wasn't confident enough to drill the case for the bind button & LED I went for a slightly different install. The module is installed at the top of the KO behind the badges as there is plenty of space there. The bind 'board' is installed in the old module (have removed the gubbins as in Cardnim's conversion notes. To bind receivers now I can just open the module slightly and easily access the board which is held in place with servo tape. The advantage of this is that you don't run the risk of drilling holes in the wrong place and the super bright LED is visible through the gaps in the case left by the module clips. Big thanks to Cardnim for the guide, I wouldn't have had any confidence in tackling it myself and may be doing the same for someone else at club! |

Despite mine and the OP's best efforts, we weren't able to go ahead with a how to for the Sanwa Super Exzes.
So if anyone else can step in and fill the void........??

Hack module
The hack module has been discontinued and can't find it anywhere anyone know some where who has them in stock?

Yes the original hack module has been replaced by the DHT version which is essentially the same but has telemetry capability.
I think Giant Shark has them in. T9 Hobbies also showing stock of the new modules as well

Did you ever resolve this? I've been running the mk1 recivers for about 6 months now with no problems. Just bought a v2 for a new car and initially it did bind but was a little slow to connect each time I switched on car. Now it takes about 15 seconds to connect which is difficult as I want to set my speedo up and the speedo goes out of setup mode before the radio binds!! My other car with a mk1 still works fine. Anyone else had this? Cheers Rob

I was trying to set car up on workbench with my transmitter next to car - within a foot or 2. Moved transmitter another couple of feet away and all problems disappeared. TX and RX bind instantly. Seems if the TX and RX are too close the signal somehow "swamps" the RX and it cannot detect it - sure there is a more technical explanation but not too bothered now I know solution. Still don't have this issue with my Mk1 receivers but at least I can carry on using Frsky with Mk2 receivers which feel slightly more robust than the Mk1s and are still cheap as chips. Cheers Rob

A friend is installing the most recent DHT version in a KO Espit II and is seeking guidance!
This version: http://www.giantshark.co.uk/frsky-24...-p-405725.html he was wondering about the toggle switch! Is it required if he's not going to use the telemetry functionality and if it is required does anybody have any (polite!) suggestions where to put it! This version is a slightly trickier fit anyway as the telemetry plug makes the unit a little snugger in the KO module casing! He will be using the V8R4-II receivers.

I've yet to fit one of the new telemetry hack modules I'm afraid Steve, so I can't really say whether the unit would still function if you removed the switch from the daughter board.
Best bet if it's not going to be used is to find a gap and hot glue it in place out the way! I suppose you could remove the switch and see if everything still works without it - and if not - solder it back on!!

Thanks Dave, those are not dissimilar to our thoughts to!
Fortunately the toggle switch plugs into the daughter board so not too a tricky operation to locate somewhere out of the way! Any other feedback would still be appreciated, ta!

I've just been into T9hobbysport to buy some new modules and receivers and they told me they are now the UK agent for FrSky products. They have a new website http://www.frsky-rc.co.uk where you can order product directly, and they offer tech support and product help. Give them a try!

This module make me confusing, Actually I don't really understand what does it mean. I think disconnecting some parts of this, would be the reason why trapped all the wire. I think the best thing you can do is to remove the toggle switch.

Yes just remove the toggle switch and solder it permanently in the 1-way/V8R4 compatible position. no need for the other/telemetry option here.

Hi,
I recently did thjis mod and used V8R4 receiver. Had two cars runnign with no issue. I since upgraded to V8R4 2 receiveras and headed to the track with 2 cars for the first time. To my dismay i got the occasional glitches on both cars. This was the first time I have actually ever used 2 cars within one day. I found they bound OK but i got some glitches. Going thru rebinding when swapping cars seemed to stop it. Though it could have been luck that it just didnt happen after that. Is it normal to be able to expect to just bind to two different ESCs easily? Chris |
