Good - Lots of features for the money. Good battery life.
Bad - Went through 2 radios. Both the first and second one would consistently drop signal. At my house it was almost impossible to speed runs because it would lose reception and cut the throttle and steering for a few tenths of a second, or halfway through a turn it would lose signal and I'd have to walk towards my car until it found signal again. No long distance either, talking less than 50 feet. At the track was even worse. In mid air it would drop signal and nose dive hard into the ground. Happened in the same area of the track, almost like the radio had dead spots. Got rid of it after the second one did the same thing.
This radio MAY be alright for just bashing (don't get upset when you drive your car straight into a wall), but I would steer clear if you're a racer or will be using it in high speed applications.
Whole process took several months, using 5 different batteries, 2 transmitters, 3 receivers, 2 different speed controls, and signal savers. Not just "hey this doesn't work I think I'll get rid of it". Save your time and money and go Airtronics or Futaba. Have heard enough bad experiences about Spektrum to make me not get another or their radios for a while. |
