I know now, but Jim sure made it sound like a linear one. Actually I thought he was typing CC-BEC, meaning CC-ESC/BEC. Quote:
"Please refrain from tasting the yummy goodness of the CC BEC. Castle Creations is not responsible for any cases of upset stomach, indigestion, or other GI malfunctions as a result of CC BEC consumption. Eating a CC BEC is known to cause cancer in the state of California." (http://www.castlecreations.com/suppo...faq-ccbec.html) I think most voltage drop issues with BEC's are related to thin wiring and the connectors. Moving up in output voltage helps since it allows more voltage drop before the Rx reboots. Fred |

Hello,
I bought an xtreme 8ch RX receiver and module system for JR radios Product ID: XPS-CPJ1-8 Product Name: 2.4Ghz JR combo pack w/8 channel receiver This was in April of last year. Well, I am just getting ready to install it in a gas plane and went looking for the manual on extreme’s web site when I see that there is a firmware update. Is this something that needs to be done or does it just add some bells and whistles? I don’t want the plane to fall out of the sky, but I don’t want to pay $39 dollar for something that isn’t needed. Thanks for your time Max |

Ok, so smite me if some of y'all feel I haven't done the proper research but here's the deal. I purchased a system for my JR 9303 over a year ago along with a device programmer and for reasons I won't get into I'm just getting around to installing the system in my Extreme Flight 88" Yak. In a nutshell what do I need to take care of both hardware and software wise to bring my system totally up to date and working it's best.
Thanks in advance for the help. |

Check the new Beta software updater too see if you can update without returning to XPS. There is a thread here somewhere about the update.
And... as Juan says, make sure you power system is up to the task. It is my belief that most 2.4 issues, regardless of brand, are caused by power problems based around "it worked fine on my xxMhz gear for years why shouldn't it work now". |

The thread says you MUST be at V3.x to be able to use the firmware updater because there are some changes made to parts that the updater does not have access to. If you are at version 1.x or 2.x you must still return them for an update!

I think there is confusion here. We do not offer any updates other than the v3.0 update. The "updater" we just released only works with v3.0 and later - currently. We may be releasing a version for 1.x/2.x as well. In ALL cases, to upgrade to v3.0 you have to purchase the upgrade and send all of your items in to be upgraded by us.

Jim,
If I purchase an RF module & some receivers from you today, will they come with the latest firmware already installed? If so, will that always be the case? Thanks, Dave |

As I just received all my 2.4GHz equipment - receiver/transmitter and programmer interface - I was wondering where to get the latest firmware for the receiver/transmitter. My receiver actually has IFS v3.3, while the transmitter has IFS V3.2 - and I usually try to keep the software at the same release level if I can.
An link/place I could download it ? I do have the XPS-XM 2.4GHz Graupner Tray Radio Transmitter Module for the mc19 Thx for any hint. Disregard this request please. In germany - we have an expression: "Lesen bildet" - in other words - "readings makes you smarter". I did reread all documentation again and noticed it's already with the updater software. I first thought it was to be done through th XPS software - as it proposes the Firmware Upgrade feature. |

Someone please guide me..
I'd placed an order for the firmware upgrade. Immediately, I've received an email with subject "Thank you for your order". Inside includes the order details and order id. My question is, is that the order that I should print out and send to XPS together with my tx modules & rx? Or I should be receiving another email that contains my order? Thanks & Regards |
