Spektrum radio signal distance

[Rep732]

for those of us that run spektrum. What is your max distance from you and your rig? Mine seems to be at the 200ft ish mark. I feel like when I run my truck in a wide open treeless field I'm running in an invisible dog fence. If I run my truck at home I can push it further than in a field. I have to say im disappointed because I hate to have to go walk and re start my truck and im running a 200ft circle around me

Before my spek shat itself i was getting double that? then I was getting 20m?‍?

don't have a land based system, but my dx6i goes way farther then that.

Get a Sanwa or futaba lol. Ive driven my rig like a 1/4 mile away and still had signal ?

 

[Rep732]

I probably lied on distance ..if i had to eyeball measure its probably in the 120ft range. If 1 garbage truck i work on is 30ft i can put 4 in between me and the truck. So yea its horrible. 36 meters to you doug
im bent because the reciever is new from the 2.0 and I bought this dx5c to accommodate it ....if anything my killswitch and failsafe is on point?

 

[DougStar]

It has shat itself ? convinced these speks are for eword cars made to race indoors ?

I feel like im running those ratchet ass AM setups from the 80's

 

[Seandonato73]

You wanna borrow my old am futaba? Bet it does out farther then that lol.

 

[Rep732]

if it works as far as i can throw it absolutely

My dx5c goes really far to the point where its hard to even track the car.

 

[Rep732]

Idk if i have a transmitter or reciever issue?

Cmon doug I "binned" my burnt engine and now my radio... cut me some slack sheesh....im gunna be on the ol telephone monday and im gunna lay it down....won't take no for an answer. Im getting tired of this i have to call horizon sh*t. Ive been getting the short end of the stick with these people alot. I give them credit for throwing parts at me i do but I should be buying replacement parts from them after a good years worth of ass kicking on this.

 

[DougStar]

Is it the rtr radio??

 

[Rep732]

The reciever yes. Transmitter no... the 2.0 only comes with an rx

 

[DougStar]

Right........ill never go back to spek......too much $$$ in my rigs to run something that may just fail any time??‍

 

[Rep732]

I'll see what horizon has to say because I'll let the truck sit till I feel like throwing money at it again. I'm starting to see a pattern with this. Horizon+buy product= technical support. I had a radio about a year old that I bound to the 2.0.. i had a wild hair up my ass to bind the dx2e to the sr6000t because they were both dsmr compatible. Well next thing you know I lost all end point and fine tuning in the transmitter. Horizons fix.... oyea that radio is garbage. Great thanks good fix ?

 

[RcJunkie13]

You never mentioned what transmitter you are running

 

[Rep732]

dx5c.. transmitter only option?
