What ESC?

Only if you ise the QC2 Esc...Because I use the power hunfry PDS-2363 and I have used the GM sx12 and the Ko VFS1 Pro Comp...Don't have any problems with spektrum...The problem accorded when the QC2's only deliver 5.4V insted of 6V to the servo so the servo likes 6V so there is no other power to give to the reciever to do its thang..SO it go into fail safe mode. A fix was to use a 4700 capasitior hooked into the batt or the other free opening on the reciever as to always have power for the reciever....
I knwo alot of guys are worried but I think even Spektrum has finally figured everything out.
Hope you enjoy spektrum as much as I have...I am still waitign for the Dart system for get all the bugs worked out then I will be using that I think.

so what so cool about shortening the aerial? Seems pointless to me, considering it doesn't even come out the top of the antenna, which sticks about 1 inch out the top of the shell.

I never cut mine and mine doesn't even come outside of my body...Here is how I layed it out.

what's this Dart system?

thanks

It's a competitor system.

It's both module based and non-module based (I can't find any information on his website that says what he does, but it SOUNDS like he rebuilds your radio if it's not a module based radio.)

The receivers are smaller, partly because the pins stick out instead of being inside the box (like everyone else.)

He's listened to our feedback quite a bit and has moved to using "our" controllers rather than making his own (which looked quite cartoonish, imho. . . )

I won't spend another several-hundred to get another radio system since my spek is working great.

Quick question, how robust are the spektrums receivers? Im looking to get a Spektrum for my Helios and wanted to install the Spektrum receiver in my Hyper 7. Also whats the size of the Recievers? Are they any bigger than say the std Futaba receivers? Im not expecting it to be anywhere near as small as Ko's Helios receiver....

They will fit fine in your Hyper...They are a little bit bigger thatn the Airtronics micro...so that should give you a good idea...Not huge at all...Very low profile...
check my last post here and check the link...the greay thing is the reciever..
Hope this helps,

Oh the dart system is also a littel different as it has 200 open channels.
I am waiting to get my system back..as I was testing it for them.

Yeah - I make no claim to know anything specific about it other than what happened while I was in the discussion! And other than what I can find on the website.

The spektrum receivers are just SLIGHTLY lighter than the standard 3ch Airtronics receivers plus crystal.

And they're pretty much the same dimension as the 3ch one. . .

Mine worked! in a gas car though.. Hope this helps!

Has anyone had a problem hooking the rec to a rec pack and the light just blinks dim one time then wont do anything?

Ummmm...Charge the pack...he, he...

Yes, I would be interested in an answer to Aaron's question.

...what are you using a recvr pack for?

...BTW ...off topic I know, but I'm gonna try your secret sticky sauce tomorrow for the first time for practice day ...any words of wisdom?

Because he is not beating us BAD ENOUGH...he, he...

...ahhh yea, now that he has to run 2 runs on a set of brushes he need's some other "edge"
