    Well, unfortunately my card was cloned and Ive had my account drained to the limit so my order wont go through now... This wont be sorted till next month now... But it does give me chance to source one from the UK.

    Are modules available so that you can use them on exsisitng Txs (such as FF? theres the modules in the Ripmax catalogue but only appear to fit Futaba 3PK and 3VC Txs (why only them?).

    The thing im not keen on is the automatic selection, i would much rather be able to select the channel, as some channels may be more reliable than others.

    That allows you to select frequency, but how does the RX know which TX to tune in on?

    I think we should perhaps wait until we hear from an event organiser before spending cash on new kit. It sounds fantastic to start off with but I am always going to remain sceptical.

    The synthesised receivers save you on receiver crystals, but still require a crystal for the transmitter. They are not (the last time I looked) available for 40MHz.
    They are still prone to interference.

    The DX3 is 3 channels.. They dont make one suitable for the FF8 cause the FF8 needs 8 channels. Its also a very expensive way of doing things.

    The thing im not keen on is the automatic selection, i would much rather be able to select the channel, as some channels may be more reliable than others.
    The transmitter picks two free channels for use. If there are problems (which their shouldnt be) it can switch instantly (15ms).
    You have to pair the receiver with the transmitter so that the receiver can recognise it. It will only work with the one transmitter it is paired with.

    Following discussions with John at Roaming Robots, I can confirm that he is happy for a robot (preferably a featherweight) fitted with 2.4Ghz to be tested at his events.
    This is great news!

    Im prepared to take the chance...

    well if people are looking to get rid of any 40mhz equipment, keep me in mind!

    You Can Get Just The Module And RX Instead Of The Whole Set
