next radio

[Wicked_Jester]

cant deside what radio to get so any comment or suggestions would be of great help, thanks

[Harley]

WOW man, need way more info.

Maybe like:

2.2 or super?

dig or no dig?

rear stear or no?

Clod or shaft (incase you go DX6 route)?

[JasonInAugusta]

Based on the info I'd go with this.

But really, like Harley said...what vehicle?

[Wicked_Jester]

well here is the list of rigs i have and im going to be building

have:
2 xxx-nt ad2's
mini-t
unimog/man scaler
b4
tc4

going to be building:
hulk 2.2 tuber/tlt based
axial scorpion/when its finally released
jconcepts bj4
t4
and maybe a super in the future

I know the futaba has the setting where you can press the 3rd channel buttom and it will make the rear steer turn opposite or the same way as what you turn the steeringwheel/front

[JasonInAugusta]

Get a DX6 then if you plan on a Super.

You'll love the 6 for Supers, but there's no way you're going to race with it unless you've grown up on stick radios.

The radios you listed are cool for racing, also look at the Nomadio React

as far as the radio for a super i might add a dx6 into the build budget later down the road when i deside to build it

i dont like the looks of the jr z-1 or the spektrum dx3r, my main choices would be between the airtronics and the futaba

[JasonInAugusta]

I have a Nomadio Sensor.

Talk about not liking the looks of a TX...there's a perfect example.

But once you use it the looks don't matter. If it feels good during a 45 minute main...that negates any issues with looks.

Function and feel are my two most important requirements in a radio. Looks aren't that important.

currently im using a jr r-1, had an m8 in the past and a buddy of mine has the 3pk

my r-1 is get old and wornout, i liked the feel of the airtronics and ive used the futaba and like it

me thing is the features between them!!

[JasonInAugusta]

Right...Function and feel.

Don't worry about looks.

[Wicked_Jester]

[FrankyRizzo]

Nomadio React

[rockwerks]

I have 2 JR R-1's now and gonna pick up a third......... great feel in your hand but a really funky look

[1BadJeepBruiser]

I use all JR radio equipment, they have a 3 year no question asked warranty on there servos, ESCs, radios etc. I love my z-1, it feels awesome, is easy to use IMO...only downside is the 3rd channel is not 3 position :-( I hear that the r1 does have a 3 position 3rd channel. I bet you can pick one of those up off ebay for a good price.

Yep actually the 3rd channel has either 3 position or 5 step. both of mine have spektrum added

[Wicked_Jester]

you can spend tons more money but nothing at this point will be better than your R-1. IF you sell it LMK, Ill take it off of your hands.

its old and wornout, i have had it a few years myself and bought it used, I is in need of being replaced!! I think im going to try the futaba because i like the one my friend has, but i dont think im going to get the sinc. model like his, just get the regular one and buy the spektrum module for it!!
