Default Traxxas TQ2.4GHz System
I was searching for a part and came across this:
http://www.traxxas.com/scripts/trxne...117d654755f9c5

Looks promising. I'd like to see what the price will be.

I just found the price on Tower...$175.....not bad.

Yeah,
That will be in the new brushless revo thats coming out soon. The AM radio system would probably glitch.

I think that I read that the Traxxas radio does not even have endpoint adjustments. If thats true a DX 2.0 would be a much better and cheaper option.

My LHS told me about the 2.4 a few weeks back. HE SAID that they are planning to having a 2.4 TQ4.



**EDIT - Well, if I would have looked at the links in the first post, it states they are 4 channel!**

Wow....damn. I didnt know it was "ugly".....it looks like their other TQ radios.

Anyway, I wasnt trying to force anyone to buy this thing, just thought I'd share what I found.

I agree,they aren't the best looking radio out there.....sort of like the "fat chick" of radios.You know....you don't know what you're missing until you pick one up then realize ofter a couple of beers that it isn't so bad.....but its something you wouldn't want to keep.....plus all your firends will understand
I agree, with no endpoints its sort of useless.I'll stick to my DX3 thanks.

I would spend an extra $75 and get the DX3S with telemetry and two receivers... I currently use a DX3R and love it... Lightest radio I have ever used since it runs on 4 AA..
