Scrolling selector broke again for 3rd time!!!! And they are using the same scrolling selector on their new models!!! Crazy! Horizon has lost their mind. They were sending me a kit to fix it myself, but now will not send the kit out and say I have to send it in!!! Yea I just spent $800 on a new LOSI XXX SCT I can't drive because I can't bind it!!! When the scrolling selector breaks you are done! Now I have a $300 paper weight. I will NEVER buy a Spektrum product again. Their customer ser[…] |

Ok, I have used spekrum radios for both cars and helicopters and have never had any type of radio equipment failure. The only malfunction I encountered was due to a poorly set up throttle linkage (totaly my fault) on my Kyosho USA ready set truggy. With that being said, I have been very pleased with the spektrum brand. Mybe you just got a bit unlucky and received a defective radio. Anyway, I hope that this expereince doesn't cause you to back away from the hobby.
Best wishes |

ive owned this controller for about a year now and i love it. its saved me alot of money since its my first 2.4 ghz i used the stock reciever and controller which are rediculous but not interferance and the only problem ive ever had was what appears to be a broken spring in the throttle trigger(doesnt return to neutral) im not mad or anything. |

the radio is good, light, comfortable, has ok features, but if it was made with better plastics and finish would be great, I just had a problem with the plastic tip that holds the spring of the wheel, apart of that nothing works fine, heard some that had problems, that where easy to solve, but if is with this price ought to be a better finished and better plastics |

Ive been using this radio all summer now. Bought it from A-Main right at the beginning of the summer and installed the 2 receivers in my HPI Nitro RS43 EVO and my OFNA Ultra GTP2. I havent hooked up the telemetry yet but so far ive been extremely happy with the performance and ease of use of this radio. Binding was easy and neither of the receivers have lost bind once. All the features are super easy to use from the main menu and with the telemetry receiver I really like that it shows me the bat[…] |

My internal timer shows 35 hours now, and I'm on just my 3rd set of 4AA's. I haven't had a single problem other than the sensors being a little short for the cars I tried using them in. I don't really like a lot of extra wires in my cars, so I took the temp sensor out. I've never even opened the RPM sensor that it came with. Overall it's been a great radio, I've used in 1/8th scale offroad and 1/10th electric cars and have never had a glitch. The 2nd RX is a great bonus. -//- Just recieved i[…] |

Ok Look! I have had one of these for about 2 years now. My friend and I bought ours at the same time. (Not from here might i add, sorry Amain) these are the issues i have with these units:
1: Telemetry wires should be just a little bit longer, prob 30mm would be good.
2: RPM sensor wire connections to the circuit board are pretty weak. More so if you are constantly taking your car apart to clean or do repairs. The more they get moved the more chance they just snap off. Again probably because[…] |

Sounds like people get frustrated when this radio doesn't program itself and start pressing the "PLASTIC" button with retard strength & then cry when it breaks . I've had 2 of these for almost 3 1/2 years without an issue , maybe you guys should learn some patience . By the way "J" your an idiot . |

this radio is awesome. its great for the every day racer, and great for the every day basher. i use it just to bash, and its nice to have all the adjustments available to you, and the screen is nice too. i like the telemetry that it offers, i only use the temp setting on my b4.1 and its very convenient. great radio, spektrum did it again. |

I love this radio. It is easy to use and works great. Mine is about a year old and I would buy another one again. The only telemetry that I use is the temp part because I have had problems in the past with my Mamba Monster running hot. This setup is consitently within 5 degrees of what my temp gun reads. The best part is that it errors on the hot side not the cold side. So if the radio reads 165 I know its about 160. For what it is, I would call that pretty darn accurate. I love this setup and a[…] |

it feel like a toy radio b/c there's only 4 batteries its supposed to be light so its not like your holding a brick in your hand for 5 to 25 minutes. The antenna is a little weak be care full dropping it the electronic can take it but the antenna can't. Other then that i have no problems with mine. |

I'm using this system almost 6 months.
Today temperature sensor showed 200C in the engine... it's still OK & running well! (HPI NitroStar .21)
Few days ago it showed 130C and infrared thermometer in same time was near 100C. So maybe it is fair only for my system, but temperature which it shows seems to be much higher than it is. It's not bad at all, but is unacceptable at final engine tuning.
I have nothing to say about other functions, all works well.
My buggy ran from me at more than[…] |

The best value radio in R/C. Super easy to use, very feature laden, very competitive price and 2.4ghz peace of mind. Can't beat this one. |

Great features for a great price, could use a backlight, it feels toy-ish, and it appears to lack the build quality of similar airtronics or futaba radios probably because it's made in China to reduce costs. the trim and aux channel button sticks and is loose. The seems where the plastic casing halves join is really wide since the cheaply made plastic doesn't fit well. If you weren't paying for the research and design this radio would only cost about 35 bucks. |

a friend and I both purchased this radio and we both experienced simular malfunctions, the radio will lose signal and cause the throttle to fully engage regardless of the failsafe. My friends rs4 evo went full speed into a wall (rest in peace) and my nitro truck took off into a ravine (rest in peace) i will never so much as look at spektrum radios again. |

Be warned, Specktrum radios are unreliable, they are CHEAP quality, and Will break connetion for no reason, even with an electric car, it will randomly stop, and resume w/o triggering the internal fail safe, this sent my Nitro into a wall at full throttle, despite a Fail safe on the car. You get what you pay for, Also the Telemetry is a Gimmick, they are $.05 sensors, that just spit random numbers out, and the temp sensor is useless, it is the worst radio on the market by far. |
