Nice job! so which one you using?

[badag98]

I bought a Tactic TTX240 and it made a huge difference compared to the stock radio. No more stalls in the middle of the lake or the boat just taking off on its own!

By far the best upgrade i have made to my setup so far, and I have done quite a bit. Actually bought a Rio EP just to get a second set up for my kids boat.

[Jeff Wohlt]

The airtronics sure looks nice and with the memory and screen it gives you much better info. I did not know they had that one.

I ike the hobbcity one for $22.00. It also has cruise control when you least expect it ....LOL

[wizard122]

I use the Futaba but the new Airtronics for the money looks real good. I have used their radios in R/C cars and never had any problems and it has all the whistles and bells.

I may have to switch to that airtronics mx3. Same price as the tactic sounds good to me. Only reason I use the tactic is because it came with the rio ep and my ul-1 and its so light on 4aa. I do like it though. Just too basic sometimes. Good research buddy!

Is it really that bad? I was thinking of getting it. Must be better than the stock AM right? Maybe I'll have to save my pennies for something better. :)

[Jeff Wohlt]

Not sure. I was going to get one for the Stampede for the boy just to test it and see what happens. I only heard results but not sure you can trust that.

[wizard122]

The cheap 2.4 radios from HK are just that cheap they don't have any range and the RX don't always work right out of the box be carefull

[Diesel6401]

The nicest part about the Tactic is each additional receiver is only $25. All the other systems listed seem to have additional rx's a lot more than that. 4 addiotional rx's for $100 is kinda nice.

[vasy]

Has anyone tried this module: http://www.r2hobbies.com/eng/proddet...prod=rcps21216
Seems like an interesting upgrade for older modular Futaba Fm radios.
Any thoughts?

[wizard122]

Be careful of this stuff It's very low end I know some one with a park flier who bought a corona RX and had nothing but problems

[wizard122]

The thing I love most about my Futaba and Ko Propo radios is I have multi model memory every boat or car I own has to be set up different I am not just talking trim but servo end point, throttle curve, servo balance I think these are great things to have when setting up a model so I select the model and every thing is just where it needs to be plus I have never had a failure with ether one of them never.

[ray schrauwen]

I own this: http://www.himodel.com/radios/2.4Ghz..._Set_N-4Q.html

Very similar to Airtronics 3Ch, SAME as the Venom 3ch 2.4G..., $65 + shipping. Nice, $29 rx's...

Stick with the Futaba or Airtronics models, great programability and good range,I run the Airtronice so i am partial to it. plus $20 - 25 off the price of both radios.with tower coupons .if you want cheap? stick with Tactic not a bad radio.
