Im still using the very first versions of the spektrum. I use the M8 with my spektrum and I have had no problems other than battery usage. Be sure to keep those batteries charged.... I think that others using systems other than the m8(which was spektrums test radio) are having more problems with the system....just my opinion though....

They have changed the basic programming a couple of times, since production started. Just send it in for the latest updates and you should be fine. First check your servos & power supply (batt., switch, connectors, etc.). At the bigger races I have attended this year, Spek has been used by the majority of racers. Very few problems. I have seen a couple of runaways, both were NON-SPEKTRUM systems.

wel i had send them a email ,but they havend replyed to my mail .
i use 1100 gp batterys,they are fully charged.
i have bin waiting for some time,before i orderd the spectrum.

How do you know if the version you received is 'new' ?

Let me know.

If you guys manage to open the receiver, I think the first one is you will notice there's an unstable position for some parts of the electronics inside. My friend is using some hard foam to secure it and he has no problem anymore.

Was using KO digital steer with M8 and experienced glitching at turn in with brake. I was advised by horizon to install a capicitor in the batt input to compensate for the high batt draw of the KO. Can not yet say if that fixed the problem but it sounds logical as I only saw problems at two points on our track and it was intermittent.

well, the thing is... i don't know if these spectrums have version numbers or something? But if there are old and new versions, and you order from 'not nearby' then there's no say in what version you get

I have fortunately had only one problem and that was that as far as I can tell the cleaning method of my car may have been at fault but it's hard to say.
There is a slight possibility that I got some contaminants in the slot for the personal transponder when things went awry !!!
OR
I had one of the supposedly batch of receivers that were put out !!!!!
In any case, I sent it back to Horizon and within 10 days had a new set up with zero problems.
If nothing else , I still think it beats the possibility of someone having their radio on in the pits and I love the fact that I can adjust the steering etc... while having my radio with me in the pits while racing is being conducted.
My 2 cents.
