Which 2.4 system ?

[Jeepers]

just curious what is the range for the DX3R and the SR3100 rx

Telemetry requires the telemetry rx. The MR3000 is not a telemetry receiver.

If you want telemetry, you need to use the SR3300T. It has a 4" long antenna which you need to locate as high in the boat as possible. When using the SR3300T you probably won't have the same range as with the MR3000. Dial the boat in while running closer, then switch to the MR3000 for racing.

just a thought, on the spektrum site they show how to get pack voltage (not rx) from the telemtry system,they dont use the sr3300t
but a normal spektrum rx togethor with the telemtry from the stand alone system (the spektrum telemetry that is seperate from the tx), i think its spm1210 or somthing,just the module not the screen is needed
i have seen these for around $20
to some the telemetry may seem a bit silly,but when setting up a new boat or testing props being able to keep an eye on temps is great

I happen to use Futaba FASST just to share a same transmitter with my buggies and trucks. NO ONE has EVER had a single problem, include the ones sealed in tape and silicone, the ones run naked in dirt and sand.... everyone works perfectly. There may be other decent 2.4G systems out there as well, just haven't got a chance to get my hands on any of them because I have no motivation to change.

The Marine and Surface systems operate differently. You can't mix and match to get what he's trying to do.

Ain't that the truth! What an ESC saver it is!

thanks for that info andy,saves me buying one to find out.
bugger of a morning tho,connected a new ubec to my mr3000 and somthing went wrong and killed the rx

That IS a bummer. It can work off a 2S LiPo plugged in directly (you need HV servos to use it), so something strange happened. PM me with details, maybe we can figure out what happened.
