Hi all,
Recently i brought a futaba 3pk tranmitter with spektrum SM1000HRS module+SR3000HRS receiver.After receiving it i noticed that it can work only on digital servo but all my cars n boats got analog servos like Futaba S9405,ACE RC S2008mg....

Questions:
1:Is it worth changing the analog servos to digital servo?
2:Is there any kind of conversion that can be done to change from analog to digital servo?
3:Is there any other modules which can suit with my 3pk transmitter and work fine with both analog and digital servos??


Thanks in advance
Ganesh

Yes, Spektrum had three systems for the 3PK; the HRS which you got, the standard DSM and the Pro DSM.

Even if you can find either modules, standard SM1000 or Pro SM1001, you will not be able to use the receiver you have, you will need either the SR3000, SR300, SR3001 or SR3500 receiver. You can use analog or digital servos with any of these combos.

Futaba's system is called FASST. It is not compatible with Spektrum.

You can use a Hitec module, or a frsky module from china. The hitec is like a futaba or spektrum as far as dealing with the noise of other radios and wifi at a track. I've never seen a noise test other then corona and it didn't have the ability to over come the interferiency like futaba, spektrum and hitec.

had a look on the frsky in hobbyking!!! reviews are pretty bad on it
might have to go with spektrum orelse futaba fasst...

can anyone tell me is there any spektrum module which works with receivers like ar6000,ar7000....??

thanks

Not really. The Spektrum modules for surface and air have differeing radio protocols and are not compatible.
