Thinking of going 2.4Ghz...

[markwilliamson2001]

Hey guys,

Just wondered if anyone has any experience with 2.4GHz Steerwheel radios. I was looking at either the Spektrum 2 higher offerings, or the Futaba 3PM. I have heard from an expert, that the Futaba has a much better menu system, and that you need to run a capacitor on the spektrum reciever to prevent glitching. My only downer is that on the futaba, spare recievers are £90!!

If anyone could share their experiences...

Thanks
Mark

I run a standard DX3.0 (not spektrums race version) with no capacitor and have had no glitches what so ever, i cant comment for spektrums race system but the menu on mine is quite awkward. Id have a look at both and see what you prefer, all i know for sure is 2.4ghz makes life alot easier

My Spektrum (pro) experience is 100% positive, no downsides that I can think of or detect whilst driving.

I have a Spektrum Pro on a KO Universe, and its been faultless.

With LRP/Nosram ESC's, the BEC supply is rather low and so a capacitor is advised, but with a Novak ESC, the BEC supply is strong and it runs Spektrum very well.

im running a Futaba 3VC 'S' with the Spektrum 'HRS' system, and couldn't recommend it more...it is fantastic, and i've only run it at two meetings

im running with Nosram brushless, and need no capacitor thingy, its faultless

I got the 3VC with the Spektrum Pro module and micro receivers, I run a cap as I had one glitch with it, since putting the cap on, no mor problems.
