Transmitter speed

[Stevebolt]

Looking into transmitters , trying to look at speed comparison. Is there any links for charts etc? Looked on websites but can't see the speed on some of them , my kids are using absima cr3p and can't find the speed on them to compare . Using a Dx3r pro I've realised the difference, so wanting to look at other tx's to look at upgrades .
If anyone can help , cheers.

I'll make it simple. Sanwa is the fastest. KO and Futaba next, then Spectrum, then the cheaper stuff falls after that in no known order, other than it's noticeably laggy.

Cheers for that , just wondering the difference between the spektrums and how much difference from what they're using now .

Ah but there are differences within makes as well. I went from Futaba 4PL to 4PX and there was a significant increase in speed

Sure, as there is with Sanwa, through generations of receiver (and Tx) specs.
It's about how connected you feel with the car, and the cheaper stuff is just laggy.

Regarding specific response times with Spektrum kit, I don't know, but using the DSM2 generation receivers will offer better performance over the DSM ones, plus a bit more interference protection. DSM was nutritious for interference issues.

Can you try out a few peoples radios at your local club?

Iv been running the spectrum DX3R,
I'm looking at the sanwa MT4-S,someone I know went from the DX3R to the DX4R Pro,he then had ago with an MT4-S and sold the new DX4R Pro,
I wonder what the difference between the MT4-S and the new M12 is?

My Mt4 is much quicker than my thumbs

My Mt4 is much quicker than my thumbs

That's what I was thinking too!

This is typical after you try a Sanwa coming from something else.
I didn't believe the difference myself until i tried it.
I've not compared the new KO Esprit 4 to sanwa yet, but i came from an Esprit 3.
It's telling when top TLR drivers use Sanwa/Airtronics rather than spektrum.
Spektrum DSM2 is certainly a step up from the cheaper stuff that people seem to have issues with.

A friend of mine is trying to get back into racing but on a limited budget, the only thing we are stuck with is a decent price transmitter - what would be peoples recommendations? Sticks - Obviously :woot:

I'm happy with the dx3r pro , see a few dx3r's on eBay . Would like to know the speed of the absima to get an idea of speed difference on paper , the mt4 looks more than fast enough although buying 2 would steer me to look for dx3r . Also they do 2 and 4 so another reciever would be needed .

I tried the 4grs and felt right at home and so comfortable, it would be my choice of stick tx . I've chosen to use the wheel for back up in case one of the kids tx's failed .

I noticed a big difference just changing my savox servo for a sanwa in my TC car,I just think pairing a sanwa handset would also be a nioticable difference,
But I do like the KO X1 V3 😍 i had the Mars R and loved it 😎

Me and my son switched from the Etronix Pulse Pro to Sanwa Gemini and noticed the difference.

I've gone for a dx3r pro, need extra receivers . Does anybody know of other spektrum receivers that work with the dx3r pro ? What the web says is different to the ones I'm using already . Then that's the kids sorted , now tempted for a sanwa .
