Veteran Question Part-2

[island]

Hay guys i will be getting my Rampage MT soon and i will be needing a cheep and dependable radio system. Reason why cheep is because shipping my MT to my area is almost 200bucks. What do you guys think of the Futaba 3PL 2.4GHz FHSS Radio System With R2004GF Receiver?

i have one (not used on a Rampage though, 1/10 nitro for now) and it's alright. I don't like that the failsafe is not always working. You have to almost set it everytime you go play. Also, I've found that a few times, I've temporarily lost communication for 1 second or so, and then it comes back.


Not sure if that is typical of the 2ghz technology (also used in cell phones) or not. It's been ok and I don't actually plan on changing it. It's a better entry level radio than the ones that come with these cars.

Futaba has always performed well for me.

some futaba radios have an option if you run digital servos you don't have to reset your failsafe
