Highly recommended:
or wait a few weeks for a more cost effective and likely better waterproofness and electronics :
I had exactly the same issue. My previous receiver also needed a 5v power supply.
To test if the maytech receiver was alive, i connected the ground from ubec to GND and the power to 5V. Now I was able to pair the remote.
Now I sliced the ESC leads and combined them with the SBEC, but now my receiver seems to have died! noting happens, also when I simply connect the 5v and gnd to the ubec…
Could somebody share their setup? I use a Flier boat 320A and the MTSKR1905WF.
@Eileen , is there a way to reset my receiver and check if it is still alive?
@Flightjunkie, how did you connect this to your flier?
My screen Died on my V2 remote. Anybody knows the reference for this screen ?
Thanks !
Hi.
Yes. You need a BEC.
The 5v must be supplied to both the receiver and the Flier ESC through the red PPM wire. You also must have common ground with PPM black wire.
Check this. Lmk.
Someone broke their screen and found a replacement. The link was posted. Maybe you can find it.

Please let us know what they say. I’d like to buy a screen to.
Maytech refused 4 months ago with a pretty lame excuse. Let’s see if they have made some progress:
Using V2 remote with Hifei Swordfish Pro 300A (lite) 4-15s ESC. In “Surfboard” mode, the motor doesn’t spin up until the throttle is at 50-100%. I tried the transmitter throttle/brake calibration several times, but it didn’t help. How can I get the engine running from 1-100% throttle?
In “esk8” mode, the motor will start running 1-100%. The only advantage of having “Surfboard” mode is cruise control.
Thanks.
Remote calibration is only for remote itself to calibrate the joystick.
does your ESC have throttle calibration? If yes, do the calibration with remote in Esurf mode according to the ESC manual. Then it will work.
Maytech did waterproof upgraded on MTSKR1905WF remote, now better waterproof performance, see below how is it upgraded:

I bought the 1905WF about a year ago, both last summer and this summer I have had quite a lot of connection issues when I start. I am using it to control a tow boogie so I am about 8-10m from the receiver. I notice that I get much more stable connection if I shorter the distance but I would prefer a longer line to the boogie. I have tried to find out what the expected range is on these but no information.
Anyone have had similar problems? Anyone tried mounting an external antenna on the remote as well?
Except it is not waterproof. Mine started taking on water (visible at the screen) almost right away and now it is completely dead. Very disapointed!
Even added silicone around the screen because I was afraid of water intrusion since other people wrote about it but water must have gotten in somewhere else.
What is the warranty on the remotes?
Definitely not waterproof.
I also had issues where the receiver would freeze on high throttle. I have now gone to the Flipsky V3 and it is brilliant.
Maytech don’t have any warranty and will not replace anything.
So, you recognised there was a problem and you have attempted to fix it. Did you replace / refund all those who bought the previous version which had the problem?
Wow getting stuck at full throttle is even worse! So dangerous!
Gonna order a flipsky v3 right away!
What are the dimensions of Maytech receiver?
Please help me. I need it for modeling…
What is that large part ? Looks like a relay…
This is the pump relay.
