The short little antenna and the way the plugs go it make it a nice little RX. Being 20% cheaper is also great!

Do you think the range is affected much with that small antenna? I'm definitely getting one of those for use in a crawler, but I wonder if it would be appropriate to use in a car run on a track.

I have not range tested mine but I would imagine you will still get pretty decent range. I would imagine you would still get over a couple hundred feet in a typical car.

That looks to be about the length of my 2.4 aircraft receivers and I can control them at a range where they're just a barely visible point above the horizon. I've never understood why some surface 2.4's have such long antennas.

It is a different shape, but is smaller overall. My regular one isn't really accessible. I will next week when I tear down that truck.

Default Channels.
Hi Harley,

Have a question for you regarding steering wheel radio and 6-9 channels is it something that Futaba will sell. It would be very interesting for us Scala Crawler, for example: to run the various accessories on the same control.

thanks ...

I have talked about a 6 channel before but it's not something I would expect to see.

It's a shame that Futaba does not invest in Scale Crawler market with the possibility, but thanks for your reply.

It's a small market in comparison to the rest of them. Jdawg and I have had to fight for every little thing we can get already. We have to pick our battles, if we asked for something like that it's such a small number of people that would buy it in contrast to the work that would have to be done that it would likely make them second guess the things we tell them after that.

I would love a 6-9 channel radio from a reputable company like Futaba as well though. Maybe someday I will be able to make a good enough argument for it!

I hope this hasn't been posted elsewhere. My question is about the high vs norm setting for the servo. When I got my BLS157HV, I switched to high for the extra speed. Due to the price increase in the Futaba servo, I decided to get a 7955TG instead, for my scaler. I want to see if the 7955TG will work on high mode, or just normal. I don't have my radio with me, so I hope I remember the setting names correctly.

Wes
