Ok help me out. I just installed 3 ds430m with my bx and having a very weird problem. With 3 servos plugged in when I plug in the battery, sometimes the receiver wont bind and the bx lights just cycle forever. Here Is the weird part, if I remove one servo off the bx, it will bind and function normally. If I put in a ds410m with the other 2 ds430m, then aall 3 will work. I alredy checked to make sure all 3 ds430m work, just not all 3 at the same time! WTH Is going on???!!

Not sure which ESC you're using nor if you're running a seperate BEC, but it sounds like the BEC is not putting out enough power for the system you're running. I believe (although I could be wrong) that the 430s draw more current than the 410s. This would explain why removing one of the three or substituting one with a 410 would allow the BX to bind but not with all three 430s.

Could you let us know whiat ESC/BEC setup you have? In any case, you probably need to look at replacing it with a more powerful unit or running a seperate BEC. If you need help getting the wiring sorted out for the latter option just let us know and we can help with that.

If you'd like to go ahead and replace the ESC and use the built-in BEC, I'd recommend the HobbyWing Platinum 50A V3. The internal BEC on that unit is rated for 7A continuous (more than double the BEC output of most ESCs on the market) with the abililty to burst to 15A for up to 10 seconds. Additionally, this ESC has been compared to the Kontronics units for governor mode capabilities and only costs about $55-60.

Thanks, I figured it out! Apparently all servos work but one of them got really hot and overheat for some reason, eventhough it seems to work normally. IF it's installed, it screws up everything from my rx not binding to my bx go wacko. I didn't realized this until I picked it up last night. I think this is the problem so it's out getting replaced and sent back. Thanks again!
