I was actually going to get the JR XS3 40Mhz to go with my brushless setup, if the 40Mhz has interference with brushless setups would the 27Mhz be ok?

I've used the 27Mhz and 40MHz and I was getting interference when accelerating. Might not be a problem with your car, but the spektrum fixed it for me. I have a GTB 6.5 in a Losi BK2. If anything, the spektrum's are a nice insurance policy so that your car doesn't go out of control because of frequency clashes.

Here is my 2 cents I originally had a xs3 40mhz when I went racing with it for the first time there was one guy who had a 40mhz xs3 as well and we were racing in same heat that night(nitro) and we both had problems all night even though we had our frequencies far apart. I bought a dx3 soon afterwards and have never looked back.

well futaba make a 40 meg controller too 3pk i think, cost more than the jr xs3
like i said never had a glitch and a damn good contraller to have

Did you try putting a power capacitor across the power input to the receiver. Usually when you get glitching under acceleration it's because the motor is drawing too much current and you get a voltage drop to cause the receiver to either drop out or have a massive range reduction.

Actually from what I've read the onroad mod guys had problems with the first generation Spektrum receivers glitching for this very reason.

Most people went spektrum because of the glitching caused by 40meg. Disappeared as soon as the Spektrum was fired up. The glitching with Spektrum is only caused by pissweak BECs and running heavy current draw motors and not very good battery power. Easily fixed wheres the 40meg interference requires drastic monetary input. Think twice before you commit

What was done to fix the 40mHz problem then?

they also make a fm 40mhz version of the 2PL, which i shall get when i get some money from work

Not in this country they don't. Toy Traders only brings in 29mhz transmitters. Also the Futaba 2PL is a 29mhz AM transmitter.

Take Care,

Sold the JR and purchased a 3PK with HRS Spektrum. No problems since. Longer range without Freq clashes. The 40meg and Brushless combo dont work well together most of the time. If spending a reasonable amount for a controller spend a bit more and buy piece of mind as well as a bit of future proofing.

buy from japan lol seriously australian importers put to much mark up, ill pay $60 more to buy australian but not $200
any way best bet is spektrum dx3 or got pro sanwa m11 spektrum pro 3pk spektrum pro etc etc
depends if u want a new radio in 4 years or just wanna outlay the cash now?
