RC set needed.
 

Hi All,

I posted this in the main electrics section on here, but the miserable gits can't be bothered to reply :thumbdown:

So do any of my nice club members know of a GOOD TX and RX 2.4 set ?

Rob :)

I run the Sanwa Exzes X that has built in 2.4
Its been very reliable for me touch wood

I responded, to be honest your heading is crap. It should of read something like "New Stick TX recommendations" or "what stick TX would you recommend"?

Anyway, what's you budget?

Thank you Mattybucks for replying, it's a pitty others didn't, crap title or not.

Daves Sanwa seems to be about £380 or more. That's a huge amount of cash to shell out for such a low channel number TX. Sanwa do a 10channel 2.4 for heli's etc for only £430, Cant see why a 2-4 channel is £380 ??

For flying heli's, I have a JR 9XII 2.4 9 channel. That's a TOP END TX and only cost me about £500 new ! So even half that seems steep for a 2 channel.

My budget is nothing really as I'll have to find the money form somewhere. So as the recomendations come in, I'll have to look at them one by one and see if I can get the money together. At a push, I'll strech to a new 3GR, but as I said, I've had problems with them also.

I've just looked at the Ripmax site. Why can you get about 5 6ch 2.4 TX's for about £150, yet the 3ch is over £200? Seems to be some ripping off here ??

rob my recerver was playing up with my Etronics Pulse iv got the futaba t3vcs and its the dogs u could get a 2nd hand one

Rob, Steve Axeman Had his K.O 2.4 up for sale. I don't know if he's sold it yet thou?

Thanks for that Chris, Steve and I have a little deal going on at the moment, so there maybe a deal that can be done if he still has it ;)

I have a KO esprit 3 on 2.4ghz with 2 receivers for sale. £230 delivered to Caldicott.

That's good to hear Rob. Cus if you do buy Steve's K.O. It'll be a good buy as he really looks after his stuff and it'll be in good condition and plus it's got yellow stickers on it!!! And we all know you love Yellow.

Oh my Thomj316, you have a cheek :o

After the way you spoke to me on the Durango side, I'd give up RC car racing before I bought ANYTHING from you !

You will notice I made this post public, just for you !

"Sorry if i seem harsh" back at you ! :mad:

Ok Rob, im not gonna make you buy anything. Only offering that's all.

p.s, my name is Jamie Thomas, most of the guys at Caldi know me and im tidy enough.

However i wont tolerate snotty p.m's like the one in which you sent me. I gave genuine advise in which i got a crappy response to, you admitted you'd had a stressful day searching for a 210 but venting it on me through p.m wasn't a good idea.

Im not going to hold a grudge against you, im sure ill see you at Caldicott on my next visit or perhaps you might come down to Swansea's WRCA round next month. Catch you soon anyway.

Not wanting to blow this up into a stupid forum bust up, but at no point did I say I had a stressful day. I don't get stressed about looking for a model car. Thank you for your offer anyway.

:wub

I have the Sanwa like belsten, top bit of kit, very happy:D
You can't really go wrong with the ko esprit 2R or 3, futaba 3Vc/ vcs or the sanwa's;)

My KO 3 is not for for sale as it has andy griffs lucky man glue on it.

I have matt williams ko espirit 2 here for sale it is mint and he's after a £100 for it.

I've run a Futaba 3gr for the last three years in both 1/10th & nitro with absolutely no issues,although the receivers are a bit big if space is an issue,also the receivers are now just over £100 (in the UK) something to bare in mind if you run a 2nd car
They do come up for sale occasionally 2nd hand for around £100-£120 (handset & receiver)

It's all money money money, but I have been told I may solve my problem with a power cap. I have bought two (no need to pull yours out now Pete, thanks anyway) in the hope it fixes the brown outs.

Fingers crossed.

Hi Rob,

I run the same handset as you, I had the old black receiver system for over 8months and I have had two issues, the first being a black out last week as I mounted the receiver on its side in the 22 - The shock from landing the car off the cross over caused the revived to fail due to it not being well supported and being bashed ablut, The second being a glitch at Cobra club championship as i snapped the internal wire twisting the main areal like an animal.

Due two the second issue I sent it back to CML and got a replacement blue receiver unit,I think for the money its a brilliant system

James and I both run the same unit across a rang of cars and we don't run a power cap if that's any help

Thanks for that Millzy :)

I don't think it's a mounting issue as the RX is always mounted flat to the chassis. It is a bit of a pain getting the wire into the 210's arial mount, so that may have damaged the wire, BUT, I was getting the same problems in the Cougar the other week, so it can't be a damaged wire. The wire mounting in the cougar is easy, so I doubt it was damaged fitting it to the Cougar.

I just don't know. All my hopes are on this power cap, otherwise I'm buying the Sanwa Exzes X like Dave's.

It's the blue RX I've got. I know Huw and Rich have had problems with is set.

Off topic, but eurgh, he could have cleaned it before selling it to you!
