Hey guys I am considering upgrading my JR radio to a DSM radio. I keep hearing and reading about modules... are these add ons to upgrade a regular radio to DSM or is that just wishful thinking?

If you have a JR Z-1 or R-1, you can install a Spektrum Module in the back of your radio to replace the 27MHz or 75MHz one. It's a plug-and-play install. If, however, you have like an XS3, XR2i, or any of those radios that don't utilze a module, you will not be able to upgrade and would need to replace your radio if you wanted to make the switch. Here's a link to more info for you
