I use the Pro Spektrum equipment but found that when I ran in in my 1/8th cars I was fighting the system as it would lag behind my inputs and sometimes go into the failsafe around my local track. I tried everything from changing receiver, tx module, changing the whole tx, trying NiMH and Lipo receiver packs but when I installed a power cap into the receiver all of these issues went away. I found the same when I ran the same equipment in my X-5 and the adding the power cap and everything was fine. I also found that as I moved away from my TX with the car and pushed the front wheels hard the servo would move away from centre and then back again no matter what servo I used. The fix for this was to use Futaba FAAST and I have not had the same issues at all only a heat problem in my Xray 808!
I now use Futaba FAAST in my 1/8th and Spektrum for 1/10th.
I currently have a Spektrum Micro receiver in my Durango and have the PT mounted on its side and have not had a problem with missed laps.
