Thanks, I was just trying to figure out if it would be worth $250+ to
outfit my truggy and buggy to the Fasst system over the Spektrum I have
now.

The react has 100Hz the processor is faster then the Sensor the latency
is less too so try a React for pure speed.

The FASST system is MUCH faster then the spek pro so if you need the
speed then its worth it.

So I'm looking at changing receivers from Futaba R203HF HRS to either
the synthesized Futaba receiver to work with my synthesized module in
my 3pk or changing and going totally with the 2.4 fasst system in the
3pk.
Wondering how much differnce between the two set ups? Also wondering
if the Pro's are switching to the 2.4 or staying with the synthesized
stuff?

Go for the 2.4Ghz system. No glitching. I have had some problems with
glitching with the regular FM system if you run electric with brushless
motors and carbo fiber chasssis' (same with my JR synth setup).
Basically FM simply does not like carbon fiber :-)

I never had any glitching with my crystal based HRS receivers even
with carbon-fiber/brushless.

It could have been a bad receiver I suppose. My JR Z1 simply won't work
with the Reddy brushless system on a carbon fiber chassis, so I assumed
it was the same issue. I went to the Fasst system and have not looked
back :-)

Can't go wrong with the FASST, even the name is cool .

I always find it entertaining to read some of these posts. Every one
seems to be so concerned with how FASST this system is or how fast that
systems is. In reality, there are about 12 people in the entire world
that can actually feel the difference...especially in offroad where the
track changes every single lap!

Drivers should be more concerned about "does it glitch?" or "is it
inconsistant" instead of speed. With the Futaba system, I have not
heard of any glitching problems. The Spektrum system on the other
hand...

With the FASST system and the 3PK...Futaba is hands down the best radio
on the market...period.

BTW: LeMieux just TQed and won 19turn and mod foam at the Novak race.
You can't get more percise and have more interference then mod sedan
foam tires on carpet...glitching, slow response...I don't think so!

Just ordered my 3PK Super and FASST system yesterday. I'm excited!

Make that 13, as I can tell the difference :-) But that was between the
Futaba HRS FM system and the original Spektrum.

Good deal Jeff! Get a nice LiPo pack from patrick to cut down the
weight, and you will be dialed :-)

Already have one, Patrick is the man!

I suck. I never can tell the difference between my Futaba PCM recievers
and HRS recievers.

i probably won't feel anything between the hrs and spektrum wade, don't
worry man there are others just as slow as us out there, we gotta
stick together man!!!!!! lol

Does anybody know where to get 9350 gears? I stripped out the white
plastic one.

Try Towerhobbies.com

Do I have to buy the gears as a set or can I buy the 1st gear seperate?



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


#49 of 89 by Bryan P. (bp) on Tue Jan 9 22:56:22 2007:

Search for part number FGS9151 on Tower. It's the 9151 gear set but the
1st gear is the same. $7.29.
