Apexi Power Fc Hand Controller....

[matt lopez]

Hi

hoping you guys can help me out...

I was stupid enough to buy a power FC without a hand commander as i thought i could easily buy a new EL type from an Apexi dealer...

http://www.nengun.com/apexi/power-fc-el-hand-controller

but nobody will give me a straight answer as to whether it will work with my Power FC...

its a ECR33 type... PFC ECR33 010-0914 rocking firmware version 5.10..

got it installed and working with FC datalogit..

the websites all say they are universal and work with all power FC's....

however im pretty sure they wont give me a refund if it doesnt !!

would anyone have a working EL hand commander in the Newcastle Area ?

Cheers

Matt

duncan has the new EL hand controller

and it will work on every powerfc expect toyota chaser JZX100 auto

as it has special firmware for all the auto menu's and logic

FCC4 was a complete re-write from apexi to work on the EL display and support all powerfcs including ap eng, pro, and mainstream versions

the only exception as above is the chaser auto version

Are there any other improvements with the new controller other than the EL screen??

covered in the powerfc faq

differences

- EL screen

- FCC 4 is std version

- supports all powerfc units (except chaser auto)

- FUNCTION SELECT screen is in english (FCC/FCC2/FCC3 have jap characters for on/off)

- EL unit has light sensor like RSM, AVCR, SAFC units

there is also magic art covers avaiable on the nengun site to give your hand controller a coloured cover instead of the plain black

the biggest difference for most users is the better screen and no more "freeze at apexi logo" annoyances (unless you have a chaser auto)

That's good to know thanks Paul.

I've got the normal old style hand controller and the damn brightness of it sucks. It only goes proper normal brightness when i apply pressure on the front of the hand controller housing blargh.

thanks Paul,

from looks of photos duncan has a GTR, which is still in production etc.

has anyone accually used this with an older ECR33 power FC or even RB25 power FC ?

guess I will fork out some money and give it a go.

Cheers

Hmmm that sounds pretty good... I might see if I can sell mine for something and get one!

Hi Matt,

I'm Simon from Malaysia. I was just wondering if you have bought the EL Commander to use with the ECR33 Power FC?
