Spektrum Radio

[alrg500]

I am thinking of getting a spektrum radio, A Futaba 3vcs with spek module.
I know all the benefits for running spektrum but are there any against's I should be aware of apart from cost?

There were some interference (or similar) problems early on, but I think that is fixed now. the main problem I see is the integration of the spektrum with the existing systems. I guess on the 3vcs you'd have the box sticking out of the back with the little antenna poking out - which is easy to damage.

Thats the only real drawback I can see at the moment.

I have run a spektrum unit in my 3vc radio this season at the nationals and have had no poblems whatsoever with it.
What Jimmy said was correct....most of the bugs and problems were in the early recievers and have been sorted out now with sotware upgrades.
As the module is inserted in the back of the Futaba radio it is protected from damage by the carrying handle of the 3vc....if you want photos of the installed unit,give me a P.M

Futaba have got their own 2.4Ghz out now..?

It will, but you need to get the transmitter converted first and it's a one way process (helger do it for about £50)
