|  JR F400ex
has anyone here used this radio for a crawler? i have tried to contact JR radios to get the specs ion this to see if the bec is strong enough to run my truck, but they haven't sent back anything and it has been over a month so i figured i would throw it out on here to see what feedback i can get. thanks in advanced

according to the website, its an air radio, not ground...not that anyone would care..all but the guy on the same channel as you that just lifted his $5000.00 jet in the air. http://www.jrradios.com/Products/Def...odID=JRP5272** but to answer your question, BEC doesn't come from the radio. It comes from either a external BEC, like the one castle creations offers..or a external battery pack (say 4 AA's) or a ESC. BUT it does have 5 channels...which is handy.

 If you're running more than ~200in-oz, you should run an external BEC unless maybe you're running a Holmes Hobbies BRXL. As to using an "air radio" in a "ground vehicle" (or the reverse) is "usually" not an issue with 2.4ghz since you should be binding the TX to the RX.  | |

It will handle the load, no prob. this radio is FM not 2.4..so its not bound to each other...it might be a problem...if your running by a RC air strip that is. |
