    ok people just a little help for those who have gps lock over usb but no lock on main power.

    There are two possible causes to no lock on main power, firstly the amp internal power circuit is not high capacity so if you have everything powered from the BEC's of your speed controllers, if they are low current becs you will find that the power is insufficient to power the whole board, at one point i had a bard that worked until the motors powered on, at which point it would loose its power and brown out.

    Secondly you may have interference, the stock gps is very sensitive to interference from the motors and even from the wires running to the ESC's, so make sure to mount it at least 2 inches away from wires and even further away from the motors.
