Good to see few more Esprit 2 conversions. I modified mine a few months ago to get over the 40mhz interference curse at RHR. My conversion is similar to to Cornishboys, except I mount the aerial inside the case. about 2mm of the aerial sticks out of the original aerial hole with a rubber o-ring to help keep it in place. The bottom of the aerial is tie-wrapped alongside the mounting of the original aerial. Also I solder the three wires to standard 1/10th pins used in computers etc. They can be bought at Maplins in strips of 10 or so. This way I just plug the wires in where the original plug-in module went. The conversion does not require any holes or modification to the KO case, and can be converted back in minutes if need be. Once the rx has been bound to the tx there is no need to see the very bright led, so mounting it in the old module case is ideal. I have no problem using it and it doesnt seem to matter if the rx is switched on first, unlike some of the more expensive systems.
My next conversion is to use the telemetry modules to get readings of
battery voltage, motor speed etc. Has anyone done this yet ?
