Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / August 2007what makes a "good radio" a good radio?
is there any reason to swap radios on my Revo? > is there any reason to swap radios on my Revo? For everyday bashing in the back yard just keep the stock radio. If your racing with your Revo then there are several reasons to upgrade the radio system. 2.4 ghz Spektrum (or similar) is a good place to start as you wont have any problem with frequency clashes with other drivers. *EPA - End point Adjustment *Dual Rate - lets you adjust the end point within the preset end point on the fly *Exponential - response rate *Sub-Trim *Lap Timer *Anti-Locking brake system *Model Memories - so you only need one radio for all your cars/trucks/buggies Other top end radios like Nomadio can run onboard telemetry sensors so you can see things like speed, temperature and battery voltage in real time on the hand controller. And when racing has been rained out you can connect this controller to the USB port on your computer and play games with it. :-) "Richard" <... > "Smed" < >> is there any reason to swap radios on my Revo?

I found a spektrum radio system on eBay for cheap, new, with a 2nd receiver included. This makes it nice if you have more than one ride, since you can program up to 4 into the radio. they really are nice radios. I got mine for around $220 shipped, but a quick look shows they are going for a little more these days. . >> thanks for the reply! >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > radios.

That was a DX3, DX2 is there also, but along with one less channel, I believe there are other options missing compared to the dx3. > That was a DX3, DX2 is there also, but along with one less channel, I > believe there are other options missing compared to the dx3. The DX2 and DX3 have the same features for channels 1 & 2. The 2 only has 2 model memories and the 3 has 4 memories. The only extra features that come with the DX3 is the 3rd channel mixing function or if your not using the 3rd channel you can used the 3rd channel button for a lap timer.
