The funny thing Is, I have friends that drive Airtonics servos with an
m11 and old style spectrum and they fell my 3pk in hrs with 9351's is
slower. Go figure that one out.

Did you try theirs to see what you think? I run the 9350s except
steering in my truggy (Hitec 5955) and the Airtronics come nowhere
close.
Everytime I try an M8/11 I keep overshooting the corners waiting for
them to react and start turning. Usually when I hand my radio to an
M8/11 user they are turning into the pipe until they get used to the
quick reaction of the 3PK with HRS.

John, I can't stand to drive anything that is airtronics based
anymore. It's not that I can tell a delay, it just feels different
(probably just in my head as Jeff S. would say). This really holds
true for the ones I've drove that use the old spectrum stuff.

I'm going to drive a couple different cars tonight since I don't have
anything together to drive right at the moment, so I'll get back to
you on how each of them feel.

Brandon,

I run the 50/50. I can't hold the stupid Airtronics radio for longer than a 5 min. qualifier without my hand cramping up. It's a sign from God . Brandon what happened to the Losi?

Is the futaba 2.4 in hrs mode as fast as the nomadio?

Nomadio 100Hz is still faster then fasst by 25Hz and less latency too

Adam, I hear ya on how awkward the m11 is.

Nothing really happened to my losi, it just has some runtime on it,
and I want to try the Mugen. Some of the Losi parts wear faster then
I want them to, and I'm going to drive a Mugen truck this year, so it
was only natural that I try the buggy. If I don't like it, and Losi
makes some material changes I'll go back to the 8 for this upcomgin
season.

Bob keeps touting Namadio at 100Hz and the Futaba Fasst as 75Hz, but I
tried a Nomadio and it didn't seem any faster. The Futaba has a much
more precise feel to me. The quality of the 3PK is hard to match.

You tried a React?

Haven't had the chance to try a React yet. What is the frame rate to
the servos on the Nomadio radios Karlton?
