Spektrum with M8 or Helios?
#2
Which radio do you have now?
I have an M8 with the Spektrum and it works well, but I've been thinking of getting the Helios. A guy at my track has one and the balance feels a little more comfortable.

I have the helios, but i plan to get the spektrum soon. I don't know which radio is better with the spektrum, but either choice should be fine. But i reccomend the helios anyways just becuase it feels better (opinion)

I hear you about the "feels better"; but, I have some feedback that the M8 "performs better".
So, it sounds like it is "feels better" vs. "performs better" (like the beer commercial)...he, he...
Anyone have experience with both radios...with or without the Spektrum???

Also if you search the thread "radio review" you should find some reviwes about the helios and the m8. I don't mean to be a helios whore or anything but all the people at my lhs say go with the helios... I was close to buying an m8, but felt the helios would be best suited for me... or you can wait for the m11.

Bill: Go Helios dude! I got an XS3 and a couple recievers too so I'm gonna stick with what I have but if I was gonna get a new radio it'd be the Helios
BTW: My logic: By the time I'm able to afford a Spektrum everyone else will have it and I won't have to worry about frequency conflicts anyway

I'm actually deciding not to get the spektrum after all, I'd just rather just buy the crystal set. Plus the helios reciever is the tiniest reciever i've ever seen.
