27mhz Am has always been popular in beginners or rtr type equipment . it has mostly been replaced by 2.4 ghz equipment

27mhz FM was popular at the top end of racing guys a few years ago when 40 mhz was also at its peak . it meant less xtal changes for those using 27mhz

again it appears to be almost wiped out with the emergence of 2.4ghz

i have a 27mhz FM set still i let my 9 year old daughter use it

equipment appears to fetch very little these days

regards dave

I still use a Futaba megatech 3pj super for my bashing needs.
Running alone or with just a few friends, it works without a glitch

For racing however, I use a 2.4ghz system..simply to avoid the hassle with crystals and you do reduce the chance of interference with a 2.4ghz system.

Still on 27Mhz, when my ESPRIT II is worn out I'll go for 2.4. But so far no real problems with my27Mhz gear that I've been using for the last 8 years or so....

have a good few cars still on 27 meg, have never had any problems. still using 40meg for racing, except my 1/8 buggies which are on 2.4, just swap tx modules as needed. problem i have now is that my old 27am radio's are really well past it, just wish you could get 27am module for a 3vc, only seem to find fm ones. have 15 or so 27 meg receivers so i wont be changeing over anytime soon.
