Quiet in here. Love my radio. Converted over a long time local fast driver from his m12.

I really like my radio as well BUT I wish Hitec had some form of AVC or stability control with their receivers like Traxxas, Spektrum and others. I have the Proton 4 in all of my vehicles and I really like the GPS but it's a trade off between having steering control on some of these smaller cars that go 60mph on the road.

AVC is only helpful for bashing.

You won't be allowed on a track with AVC or any stability control. And if your found to be using it, you will upset a lot of racers.

And they'll take away my birthday, and I won't have any friends and ...



I completely get that argument my friend but the AVC system is more for driving around with friends and driving at the local dirt track. It's a lot more enjoyable driving my 4-tec 50mph down the street WITH AVC or some form of stability control.

I do like the Hitec Lynx radio as my GO TO radio for the track, but I'd also like to eventually replace all of these Traxxas radio systems.

So I guess I should have looked at the link that was provided earlier.

So my radio is starting to glitch. What's the newest firmware so I can see if my radio has it?
Actually had two Hitec radios glitch yesterday. Mine only did it twice while the other guy had it happen at least three times.
I'm not a fan of it going full wood randomly and want this over with.
