Hey Guys... doing good... I dont have internet access at home, but I do at the office, but the office is a place that will kill me... I will try the VRC thing...

can you tell me, Radios... I like KO and have all KO equipment, would you recommend a KO Helios or the Futaba 3PK? they are both good radios.

Been too long...

That USB Thingy, do you have to plug in a battery pack for the receiver?

I only have Futaba, so it would be difficult for me to say. As long as it feels good in the hand, then either should be ok.

The USB thingy-ma-bob takes its power from the USB interface. Works very well. If VRC sort out a better zoom feature, I think the whole "sim" will work very well for me. Great to learn about setups.

COOL, I will get one... but then I have to get another receiver...

Just connect up your 710's RX to the usb interface - it just means you need to have your 710 sitting on top of your computer :D I see nothing wrong with that ;) :lol: :lol:

It makes sence, but getting to the cable is a bugger... I suppose I am a little lazy when it comes to that... Pyramid... Where can I get one of those? It looks awesome...

Until then, as D says, get VRC, get yourself the USB thingy and go racing :nod:
Yes, one more thing... Make sure you use a PC (the real thing :rolleyes: :lol: ) when you go VRC. :lol: :sweat:

In the US I think, but better wait the one with more features (built in temp, etc). If you decided to go with 3PK, PCM is more than enough

:nod: With that said, I think for me, the Helios looks and feels really good in my hands. But alast, I got the 3PK first before the Helios even came out so it's Futaba till the end for me. :lol: :cry:

And yes, Baxter, if you value the electronic fail safe, the 3PK has it built in.

Good choice of words, D - a word-play on the old Cola adverts - which as we all know is a sweet beverage which doesn't really hold its own in respect to nobel drinks such as a good bottle of wine/whisky!
I think you know what I'm getting at :D
