Futaba 9C 35MHZ module dead!

[jakegazzard]

Hi guys, I'm absolutely gutted, went to try and fly my helicopter the other day to find the module in my TX is dead! The green light on the 9C doesn't come on any more and no signal is transmitted. I checked the connections and blew them out but their all fine. Would anybody know where I can get a replacement? I cant afford a new TX and I really need to fly! If anybody has an old 9C 35MHZ module they would sell please let me know! I know it would be a good time to switch to 2.4GHZ but I have too many receivers for 35MHZ and I'm happy with it. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. I bought Phoenix the other week and am learning to fly on it!

I have a couple of old 35Mhz modules, which I dont use. Mine are for a ff8 so dont know if they would fit / work with a 9C.

Do you have a module model number?

[jakegazzard]

Hello Jimmy, it doesn't have a model number on it as it rubbed off, it's serial number is 031108138 if that helps?

[jimmyhorns]

doesnt really help!

can you post a photo of the module?.. front and back?

If I have one that is compatible, you are welcome to it provided you pay for postage

[jakegazzard]

Just had a look on google, it should be fine, but it will be 8ch instead of 9 but thats fine, who needs 9! How much would you want for one of the modules?

[jakegazzard]

Thats the back, the front is just flat

[jimmyhorns]

I think thats the synthesised module, which lets you select the channel on the transmitter.... I only have the old fashioned crystal module, so not sure if it will work.... if anyone else knows, please chip in

[jakegazzard]

Hey Jim, mine is just the old crystal module, not the synthisised modules

These are the two I have.... I think they are the same thing?..

[jakegazzard]

Yea, they will work fine! How much do I owe you?

[jimmyhorns]

im happy to send you one of them, just for the cost of postage.

Im guessing that to send it recorded it will be between £5 and £10 once I have bought a padded bag for it.

[jakegazzard]

I really appreciate it, when would you be able to send it?

[jimmyhorns]

I'll check the one im going to send works tomorrow, then have to take a trip to the post office anyway.

If you give me your address (by pm) I should get it sent tomorrow
