One is a SRXL2 and the other is a DSMX satellite. The SRXL2 is the newest full telemetry RX that’s full range from spektrum. So you get telemetry capabilities to your transmitter as well as very fast RX which rate and extremely long range and the DSMX satellite is there for back up and a second RX if need be. You bind as SRXL2 in the iKon software.
Do you run 2 satelites with the SRLX2? seen you have run the srlx2 up on servo as well. Im using a tx16s radio which has been very intense. Last heli I owned goblin 700 and align 700 was about 8-9 years ago. was running FASST futaba and this is all new to me. thanks your videos are awesome great help
I do both, two satellites and SRXL2 OR just one satellite and SRXL2. You don’t need two satellites but it can’t hurt. Redundancy, more receiver satellites the better. I don’t like having any signal problems. The TX16S can be very difficult to learn, I hardly ever use mine anymore. I use to have a futaba FASST as well! You’re welcome! I, glad the videos are helpful!
Awesome video as usual! Quick question about the fabric paint you used for securing the servo leads. Does it come off easy? I might want to order some of that :)
Thank you yes it does come off easily X-Acto knife. You kind of just cut it and then peel. It is false and stuff and I use it on every connection! www.amazon.com/Tulip-41401-Dimensional-Fabric-Paint/dp/B004BQ01CQ/ref=sr_1_2_mod_primary_new?crid=1KSCPWG2UONA0&keywords=black+fabric+paint&qid=1668290651&sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&sprefix=Black+fabric+paint%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-2
Awesome work as always Jeff!! Off the subject of the RAW 700, have you checked out the new Spektrum IX-14? The IX-12 has been discontinued and I think the 14 is taking it’s place. I was thinking of upgrading to it. Do you have any feed back on it?
Thank you Rob! Always appreciate it! Yes I have! I really like it, might have to upgrade! It’s very fast and smooth. Everything I’ve heard and see so far it’s a incredible radio! Really hoping I can get one seen!
Ive got a question. Can you use srxl2 and dsmx satellites together? Like srxl2 in the servo port and dsmx in a sat port for redundancy? Or does it have to be one or the other? My fbl setup requires me to choose one or the other in the software.
Yes that is how you wire it. SRXL2 into the servo port DSMX satellite into the side port. Depending on the FBL you are using or you were just select SRXL2 and binded together. Some FBL units don’t support the actual telemetry of the SRXL but it will still bind and work together.
The iKon 2 HD has a designated power rail for your servos. It’s better for running high power servos as it splits the power to it’s on designated rail. Also it has a switch to be turned off and on mainly for Nitro models. The regular iKon 2 works great for every electric heli and this one got a iKon 2 HD because that’s all that was in stock.
Thanks! No I do everything! Lately I’ve done a lot of SAB but I have built and have videos on almost every heli. The next build series is a Gaui and the one after is a XL. But yes I build a lot of SAB models. I build what ever customers want. And SAB is the biggest and most sold model.

Well Done Jeff, Another Spectacular Build!
😍👍
Thanks Larry! Hope is well with you and your family!
Your videos are awesome very insightful I love the way you wired the helicopters makes me wanna go buy one!! Do you feel like building another one

Hey Jeff, where did you get that antenna holder for the boom?
@@heliquad I designed it and print them
Your videos are awesome. I’ve learned a ton from them.
Where can I find the tail boom mount for the sell antennas?
Thank you! I appreciate that. I’m glad the videos are helpful. You can send me a email westhobbiesrc@hotmail.com and I can get you a antenna mount.
? Want to know more about the two recievers your using and binding
My question too why this setup for the receiver's? Thank's

Jeff, question: Raw 580 or Piuma, for 6s setup? whats your opinion
@@anjolasboy RAW 580 hands down! Piuma is really nice but can be a PITA with low head speed wobble and the RAW 580 does amazing at all head speeds!
Love you're videos and I am interested in that antenna holder i run the same receivers

Hello
The canopy of the Piuma fits the Raw 580? Greetings Michi
Hello, unfortunately no. The Piuma canopy is bigger then the 580.
Ok, thank you. Greetings

What’s the difference between the thicker icon 2 versus the thinner icon 2 that you use on the 580 raw?
The iKon 2 HD has a designated power rail for your servos. It’s better for running high power servos as it splits the power to it’s on designated rail. Also it has a switch to be turned off and on mainly for Nitro models. The regular iKon 2 works great for every electric heli and this one got a iKon 2 HD because that’s all that was in stock.
Sorry if i have missed it but why fabric paint? is it removable?
Yes it’s removable and clean looking and runs nicely into the connectors and holds them all together and stops anything from pulling out.
How was the ESC attached?
Double sided tape and a zip tied to hold the wires up out of the way underneath.
I enjoy your vids but do you only do SAB builds?
Thanks! No I do everything! Lately I’ve done a lot of SAB but I have built and have videos on almost every heli. The next build series is a Gaui and the one after is a XL. But yes I build a lot of SAB models. I build what ever customers want. And SAB is the biggest and most sold model.
Hi mates is the 8s a good alternative or better go 6?
It really all depends on what you kind of flying style and heli you want. I would say 8s or 12s just because 6s pulls a lot of amps under hard flying.
