What would you suggest for a JR radio??

Its not a JR, but a DX-6 has been my choice for years. They are dirt cheap on e-bay. Top 5 at nats 2 years in a row. The mixing options are perfect for a super. I have a video somewhere, I'll post it when I find it.

I have a JR with all centering gimbles and ground frequency, used to be my old comp radio. I loved it. http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php...0&cat=6&page=1 The are the same body as the DX-6, just different color and frequency.

Cool then, I can help you program it if its the same.

Thanks John But I would like to stay with 2.4khz. Thats a bitchin price, I just got used to the short anntane. I am leaning towards the dx6 just wanted to know if theres any down falls or bad points about them.

Not that I can think of, you get 3 unlimited mixes, and new rx's are $50 and can handle (from my experiance) 8.4 volts at 20 amps on the bec. The traces are huge.

I never used it extended more than 6", we are just crawling right over them


The DX6 is a great radio. I had one of them for a while too. I got a DX7 for my full house plane an sold the dx6.

The dx-6 eats batteries, but there are 2 ways to fix that, the regulator mod, and/or a 2500 mah lipo.

[JohnRobHolmes]

I ran the big lipo. Do the regulator mod and with the lipo you could crawl for weeks.

[dirttrackdemon93]

Is the DX7 worth it if I am only gonna use it on crawlers? I make lawn darts out of planes!!

More mixing and a 3 position switch are nice, but not needed.
