Radio Gear

[Berra]

I've just gone and bought myself a Ho-Bao Hyper 7, but it doesn't include the radio gear, anyone got any sugestions about what to get? Thx

How much are you looking to spend ?

 

[robriguez]

Do you have many rc rides or just the one? If you have a few you might want to look into getting a Synthasized radio so that you can use the same radio for different rides on different channels and not have to worry about crystals. The JR XS3 is a nice set up.

If this is your first car , I would get the jrx2 or 3, both are good, 2 is am and 3 is fm, you can add more cars to these as you get them! good luck!

I agree, the JR XS3 is excellent. I like the exponential settings, plus it comes with synthesizers for all channels. Its $219 at my LHS. We have over $500 into an Airtronix M8 for just 5 channels, to buy the radio plus tx synthesizer plus 5 extra reciever crystals.

Budget isnt an issue, and i already have a T-Maxx, and nitro 4-Tec, but that gathering dust. Thx for the advice

Berra - if budget isnt an issue, than nothing can beat the Futaba 3PK.

although alot of people on this board swear by the XS3, I personally do not like it. this is just one mans preference, so make sure u see one in person before u buy. Skymaxx and myself both use the Hitec Lynx 3D and love it. It is my favorite radio. Here is a link.

Get the XS3, very nice radio, never had a problem unless the batts were really low
