what kind of 2.4ghz radio

[Lonestar2222003]

I'm looking to get a new radio and receiver for my savage i would like a 2.4ghz so i don't have to have a huge antenna sticking out of the top of my truck and so i can run the truck with others and not have my truck go out of control. anyone give me a good suggestion for one that comes with a receiver and isnt too expensive preferably less than 150 if alittle over o well.

I pick up a used DX3R with 1 receiver in great condition for $200.00 CAN. I know this is over your budget (sort of) I like it. I am sure more members will have some more suggustions.
I like the DX3R for the adjustability/light weight/ease of use.

YMMV.

You can get the dx2.0 for around 100 good radio with two model memory or you can pick up spectrum's new dx2s. My buddy just got one and it's nice has 5 model memory and the telemetry and comes with a decent digital servo for 180.

i havnt used any other system other then Airtronics MX-3FG FHSS-2 2.4 GHz Radio w/3 Ch Receiver and its done great! i have no complaints whatsoever.

I run 2 Futaba FASST 2.4 ghz 3PM's and love both of them. I run 5-6 different trucks per radio and never a problem.

me too.. but make sure to get MX3-FG over MX3-FHSS, those 2 are slightly different.. FHSS is a bit slower reflect compared to FG..

I have the MX3-FG FHSS-2? so your saying this one is a bit slower than the FG only?

ya i've been looking at the tactic 2.4 myself and sounds like a heck of a deal at $85.00 and it doesnt look as complicated as some of the others which i like lol

I really really like it!

The only problem is you don't get any of the other things that come along with a digital radio like end point adjustments, expo, subtrim, and all those other little set up things that make a world of diffrence. All you get is dual rate for the steering and trim for the t/b and steering same as the stock radio.

For the money you can get a used DX2.o or for a few dollars more get a new one.

i believe FHSS-2 and FG is the same.. they use same rx like M11. but FHSS is the older version and this one is a bit slower.. i put pics and link below for you to compare.

The tactic radio has a 70/30 throttle/brake split you will have to get use to that i don't know why but i got one and its bugging me for some reason .

 

[dockharris]

thats right

 

[big worm]

one thing about the tactic....they hit the right price for extra recievers....and by comparison pricewise (cost of recievers vs cost system) horizon SHOULD be able to give us a sub $30 2.4 reciever as well !!!!!!!!!!
