Spektrum discussion

[Mr. Tune]

For most, epa's and trim is usually enough. I've got the M11 and it's has an insane amount of features that can be adjusted. So far all I've setup is the epa's and trim, lol. Oh, I also figures out how to work the lap timer feature.

[snakebite46]

M11 and other high end radios do have many more features. But, for what you guys are using them for is good enough. Ifyou decide to get into racing seriously, then you might wanna upgrade to a 3pk, M8, M11 or Helios.

All the options the M11 has is sometimes confusing. EXP, ABS, Speed, EPA, Dual rate, Gain etc etc etc......

Spektrum DX3 is a great radio for the price simply because of the spektrum. You dont have to worry about buying a seperate module too.

So to you guys that are already running Spektrum I have a question. I'm wondering if you run the reciever wire inside the body of the trucks or do you still have them extending out the body? I read with the Spektrum you can run the wire very short compared to a regular reciever wire.

I run mine inside on my LSP... never had a problem

+1

[bigjs]

what about on your buggys? in or out?

[slim]

i have like a 3 inch ant tube. thats all.

[Ponch]

That's like my selling point on spektrum is that how short the antenna is lol....

[UE-Maxx]

I have mine completely in the antenna tube with a cap thing on the end. I plan on just keeping it inside the body.

I was reading the DX3 book and it seems to have a lot of stuff compared to the stock radio. I'm not saying the stock radio is all that great, but I don't know what most of this stuff is. I already set my epa's and some other stuff. And if I ever really get serious about racing I will probably get an M8 or M11.

i think that the dx3 would be good for me because all i use on my xr3i is the epas and trims and the lap timer if i get bored :racing:

[UE-Maxx]

Forgot to ask, can you set the failsafe different for each model?

[cemeb4dk]

yes I believe so. but its been about 8 months since I set mine, but I htink it is when you bind each receiver.

always set your failsafe to idle, this way if you leave your recvr on. the servos will be idle verses full brake and this will burn out your servos wuickly

[UE-Maxx]

Never thought of that. If I re-bind it, will I lose any of my info stored in it?

[dentguy92]

your just binding rx nothing will change on the tx

[UE-Maxx]

Thanks.

[dentguy92]

no prob....

[snakebite46]

I have the antenna sticking out alittle on the buggy but not past the roof line.

[destroy_my_revo_15]

does anyone know when ultimate hobbies has the 209 deal for?

[Ponch]

We'd probably have to call and ask.....

[Notochord]

didnt crispycritters have it for 210??

[Ponch]

Not on their website it isn't...(like it's not there at all...)

[RCDad]

Someone said they were taking back orders since I believe they are out of stock now.

[Mr. Tune]

I run my antenna wire inside the body too. No problems.

[Michowski]

inside the body for me
