DLD24 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I saw some videos online of people just buying 6v remotes off hsolist for their mojos for $15...So I bought one for my lucky duck, but it has 4 wires 2 red and 2 black. All the youtube videos I'm seeing for the lucky duck DIY have a red,black and 2 yellows wires. Do I need to order the different remote or do I just need to wire this one differently...I guess I figured if it worked on the mojos it would work on Lucky ducks...Thanks for any help....

fishuhalik Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) If I had to guess, the factory receiver has a diode, hence the 3 different colors. A diode basically is like a stop sign and only allows one polarity (positive or negative, depending on what kind of diode it is) to flow through. Let's say it's a positive diode. Black is always your ground, your reciever will run off negative polarity (red), and your motor will run off positive polarity (yellow). Again, I have a pretty elementary understanding of electrical and that's just a guess, but maybe someone on here with more electrical knowledge than I have can answer that more definitively Edited September 12, 2016 by fishuhalik MJ1657 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpshooterdeluxe Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) two wires are for the relay coil, and two wires are for the relay contact. What model relay did you buy? I could probably find the wiring diagram for you. If there is a 5th wire it's an antenna wire for the transmitter. I'm on my third brand of "hsolist" relays for in my mojos, finally found a brand that works below 45 degrees and farther than 10 feet away. Say what you want about the cost of factory remotes, but I have 4 mojos with factory remotes and they outperform the 4 hsolist relays I have installed in my other 4 spinners in regards to distance. I do finally have all the 3rd party remote relays programmed to the same transmitter now, so only need to hang 2 transmitters off my lanyard, or 3 if I have the rotary machines up as well.

DLD24 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 This is what it looks like it's from 12v monster...I'm not sure what the exact model # is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
