| Anyone use a Radiopost TX and servo???
I cant seem to find any info on these radios in the crawler community. I know Nabil is using them, but I haven't heard back from him about it. I have seen a couple threads about them, but no info on how programmable they are for crawlers and if anyone has used em Thinking(real hard) of retiring the React, and considering this radio. The servo also looks tempting for my XR. Right now on my Nomadio, I have 1 button to turn off the rear motor, 1 to turn off the front motor, 1 to turn down the rear motor in steps of 5, and another to do the same to the front. I also like that the EPA's go out to 200 on my nomadio, AND that hey bind to DSM1 RX's A while back I tried the Airtronics M11X, and didn't like the feel of it, or the programmability. The 4PK is alright, but I want seperate buttons for slowing down the front and rear motors. I hear this radio is like a 4pk, but want to know if it is as mixable or better. One thing that is attractive about this radio, is that it looks to have up to 9 channels. Not that I ever use more than 3, but the option is cool. The screen is tits too. And lastly, I like how ugly it is Any info is appreciated TX RADIOPOST Sync Differently Servo RADIOPOST Sync Differently |

From my understanding, its software is very similar to the Futaba. I can tell you, that Peter Robinson was one of the first sponsored by these guys. Peter used to work for me and now runs his own decal company.....while working for me, Peter won numerous national titles in touring car and 1/12th scale. Peter took this thing to a few races and had nothing but issues with the receivers....he finally said screw it and bought a spektrum, and won snowbirds. To this day, they have still not sent him a useable receiver. Multiple other national level drivers ditched them too... Airtronics does have a new m12 coming out, look it up....supposed to be very trick and have all the bells and whistles. Later EddieO |

There was a thread awhile back about it, i don't have either but i guess it has nearly an identical menu as the 4pk so it probably have the same options. So on your setup can you turn both the front and rear motor down at the same time? What would the purpose of that be? compared to where only one or the other can be turned down? and how do you turn it back up? I'm just wondering, as i think i can the gt3b/c todo this |

The 4PK can have separate buttons to turn down each motor, there is just no advantage to it and it complicates he programming so I wouldn't ever suggest it to people.

So is there any new info on this radio? Anyone on here actually have one and not just hear say. I don't care that it's similar or an exact match of a 4PL or any of that. I just would like to know how people like them. I myself think they look badass.

| Re: Anyone use a Radiopost TX and servo??? Wow...really? Nabil ran this radio for a while but has gone back to the 4PK. I DO know some particulars as to why but it's not my place to share em. I'll leave that to The Champion of Everything. BUT...The operative words were...HE WENT BACK TO THE 4PK. |

From EddieO's post, near personal experience opinion. I don't know why anyone would be interested in this radio. Granted us crawlers aren't driving at a distance much farther than 20 feet. But think about it. Known rx failures? Not just one guy either. Now put your 2k rig down on course. Get to gate 9 on the ledge that drops for 30+ ft. And you have a radio issue? Ha! I'll trust my Futaba products! |

I have personally witnessed Nabil having binding issues while using the Radio Post equipment. What I saw that day, I have never seen happen with other radio eqiupment. My friend that races 1/10th scale "go fast" vehicles on a weekly basis has also experienced binding issues and has recently had the flip screen fall of the transmitter and dangle by the wires | |
