Nebraska Crawlers

[tk5028]

Actually I do. I have talked to several people who do for independent 4 wheel steering and to run independent front and rear motors. I even read and article (forget which one) where they were using the new RDS8000 on a crawler (Scorpion I think). Besides, so many people are going to 2.4 the older ones will have less interferernce. Ok, let the bashing begin.

By no means am I bashing. It is an FCC rule that certain frequencies are designated for certain things.

I would hate to see a 4 pound RC plane get hit by a radio being used on the ground. That 4 pound airplane moving at 60mph+ with a blender on the front of it could really hurt someone.

Better to just abide by the rules.

Eritex, you are correct. And just to make a friendly point, I never mentioned which radio I had. It could have been a 2.4. And I too would hate for anyone to get injured. However, this is a temporary situation. With two kids in private school, a wife in grad school, and I am off work in the winter it is going to take long enough just to get everying thing else. I am planning on another radio. Probally the RDS8000 then no more worries. I'm not worried because I will be just in my back yard and I know I will not have to worry about any aircraft.

And just curious, you listed all the different freq's. I have been wondering anyways, with the newer 2.4 Ghz radios, how can they get away with it since others use the same?

This can explain much better and faster then I....
