Last night I decided to go ahead and return my wireless Digitrax DT-400r throttle and receiver.

It all started when I went to program my new AC4400CW. Yes, you need to plug that little 5″ cable to program too. But the kicker was after programming and wanting to run the engine a little, the battery is the DT400r died! The problem is you can’t turn off the throttle. You have to yank the battery everytime. It does go into a sleep mode, but that still sucks down the battery apparently.

So it’ll be returned to MBK’s, and I already have a new regular DT400 and panel on order from Fifer Hobby.
