Sooo Strange...

I have the Honda S2000 Silver and the Fairlady both having the same frequency, 57MHz.
I thought that probably, I could run both (not simultaneously) with the same controller. With this way I will not switch batteries in the controllers.
So I gave it a try and I noticed that I couldn't control the S2000 with the Fairlady's controller neither the opposite (the Fairlady with the S2000's controller).
Thats very strange.

They have the same frequency and the only thing different its the booster button, or its not?
Am I missing something here?

The chassis are different cause one is a booster. You will need to buy a 4-way booster controller to operate both cars..

Yes, but isn't strange that at least I can't control the S2000 with the Fairlady's controller.
Conclusion: S2000 and Fairlady have the same frequency but different signal.
So probably the same will happen to a ZipZap with a Bit that have the same freq.
Because I saw somebody asking on a thread about that.
Of course somebody will ask if at the end I could control them simultaneously both with their own controller.
The answer is NO. Because I tried that and the result was every time somebody pressed a button on the controller, if the other car was moving then, they were both stopped.

I hope you understand what I mean.

So can you control your 2 cars at the same time without interferance?

Zakkorn · #5 10-21-2002, 04:35 PM

No, thats why I hate my english

Exactly the opposite.
Each car of the two (S2000 and Fairlady) needs its own controller but unfortunately you can't control them both simultaneously.

They have the same frequency, thats why you can't controller them simultaneously.

And they have different signal, thats why they are not compatible with each others controller.

As simple as that.

Hum...

I assume you have already tried it but have you pushed in the boost button if it was in or release if it was pushed?

The reason why is if you ground pin 6 { boost } on the TX2 chip in a controller a normal car will not move.

Just wondering.

I got a fairlady and a 57mhz skyline, both don't react to each other's controllers.

You can control a ZZ with a bit controller, but the forward and reverse are inverted. Same with a bit controller controlling a ZZ. Actually, my bit controller overpowers the ZZ controller so I can take over my cousin's ZZ.

Zakkorn · #9 10-22-2002, 03:07 PM

Hey, thats not Fair!

I mean, why the heck, with the Bit Controller you can control the ZZ (even with the opposite directions) and you can't control just a booster Bit?

Its Mad!

Oddly I had an S2000 and a TT knock off that ran just fine off of one controller but the controls were set up reverse. So when you push forward on the conroller, the TT would go backwards and the S2000 speed off forward. Same goes for right and left. I was able to controll them both with one controller at the same time though...
