Futaba 3PK改MINI AD BEND

[size=+2]How To: Convert Your KO Module to Work with a Futaba 3PK

Many people use different aftermarket radios to control their Mini-Z's. One of the most popular brands out there is the Futaba 3PK. The 3PK works great with the Futaba 27mhz AM module, but in the event of wanting to use AD Band or even the new 2.4ghz many think they are left without the chance of operating their cars in this frequency. Many people have converted their KO modules to fit their Futaba radio already. It is a fairly simple procedure that will allow you to use your 3PK with all the aftermarket electronic boards manufactured by KO Propo. The following How To: will show you how to do this simple task from begining to end.

You will need a few simple tools to get this done. Amogst them some flush cutters, a dremel with a cutting wheel, a Phillips head screw driver, a soldering iron and some solder, and finally a KO Propo module and a Futaba Module Case.

Disassemble the Futaba Module first. this should be done easily by removing the Phillips head screws on the back of the module case.

Next disassemble the KO Propo Module. You will be using only the PCB.

Notice in comparison to the picture in the previous step that we have cut-off about 5-6mm from the PCB above the crystal holder. There are now electrical pads up there, so don't worry about damaging anything within 5-6mm of the top.

Notice how the second and third pins from the left have been cut and then how we soldered the top of pin 2 to the bottom of pin 3.

We will now prepare the top of the Futaba module case in order to be able to plug the crystal without any trouble.

Cut the module case as shown above.

Now install the top of the Futaba module cover on top of the bottom piece. You may want to use a couple of layers of double-sided tape to secure the module to the case. Make sure the pins on the module are also lining up with the holes at the bottom of the case. Once this is done, the module case can be closed up with the 2 original screws.

There you go! All done. Now all you have to do is plug it into your Futaba 3PK radio and you should be good to go. 转自http://www.reflexracing.net/module.asp
