Who Is Using What Radios ?

[Chris Thomas]

Looking for info on Radio Systems. Who is using what? I know the new stuff is rock solid. What is the easiest to program? most intuitive?

Is it better/cost effective to buy a new radio or outfit the current unit with a 2.4GHz module and the matching receiver(s)?

If I go with Futaba equipt, which is better FHSS or the FASST?

Spektrum ?

Hitec?

Cris,

I have FASST module in 3PK and fasst receivers works great. I don't think you can buy module from Futaba anymore.

I vote Futaba.

The Futaba FHSS systems are proving to be a great choice. The cost for the 4PL is a great choice.. very easy to use.

Futaba 4PK and 603FS RXs. FASST system has been flawless for me.

I have the FASST 7C that can have up to 10 models if you are willing to drive with the stick on the 4 channel system.

Talked to a Hitec Rep at the Weak Signals Show in Toledo. He stated they had a new surface radio coming out in a couple weeks but refused any details. I've run Futaba and Hitec. I like both. I don't mind a stick radio, have run one for many years. The 3EGX was one of my favorites.... One of the members on here suggested a 6J which would suffice all my needs with one radio. Planes helis and the boats, that really has my attention.

Just purchased Airtronics M12- 2.4Gz FH4T 4-Channel Competition Pistol Grip Radio, with Telemetry. FHSS operation.

Ver, very, nice radio

 

[Andy Brown]

Futaba 4PL has worked flawless for me and it has Telemetry which is a big plus. It's nice to be able to know the condition of the Rx pack at any time.

Never had a problem with any radio I've run. Started out with Futaba, went to JR, now back to Futaba. Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you. Running the Futaba 4PK with 603fs Rx's right now and it's rock solid. Flying planes with the Futaba 6J and it's every bit as good as any I've used. See a few guys at the flying field with HobbyKing $5.00 receivers and losing signal right and left. They always blame it on cell towers but I'm not so sure. Lol

I ran a Futaba 9CAP with a PCM module last season, bought a 4PLS FHSS for this season. The telemetry is a nice feature that can save a boat
