I have two of these receivers and they function perfectly for me, but the build quality is poor! On one of them the lugs broke on with only minimal pressure applied and the other I found in two pieces inside my car after a race as it had hit the self destruct button when I'd had a spill during one of my heats. The crash wasnt anything spectacular, nothing was broken externally on the car but when I removed the shell in the pits afterwards I found it in two pieces. Thankfully it was still working....

I know there is an element of 'you get what you pay for' but the Spektrum are no more expensive for their entry level radios and they are infinitely stronger and better quality.

As I say, they both still work fine, but I think it is worth mentioning that the quality of materials used leaves a little to be desired....

i prefer the etronix to the spektrum set as you have to spend more to start off with for a stick set. + ive had 2 lots of spektrum dx2 and dx3 both ive ended up having to make power caps for because they kept cutting out and had to wait to rebind n not good when your racing not had that issue with the etronix.

there are two types of receiver if its the same as the Core Code model?
the older one had plugs in from the side, so needs more room. The newer FHSS model has traditional plugs in the top.

Ahh, that's interesting Jim. I didn't know that.

Are all the later blue FHSS's the same, or are some side plugs, and some tops?

Or is it that some of the previous black receivers had side plugs?

Thanks.
