No way am I putting a big, goofy-looking pager thing on top of my m11. I guess Airtronics has just not caught up to Nomadio, huh? I would probably have gone with it instead of the Airtronics, but I have a Mac, and the Sensor software is only on PC. Seems like Airtronics is the better solution, but I've sort of given up on the telemetry idea. Hopefully, Airtronics is working on a DSM radio with telemetry built in like the Nomadio. That's what I'm waiting for!

Let me know if they let you buy just the antenna w/ wire and connector. I did the same thing but crimped it back together and haven't had a problem but would hate to get to a race and have it mess up. LMK if what you find out. Thanks.

I got the Telemetry system today and put it on my MTX-4. The unit is tiny, and the sensors can't be used with the mounting hardware for the MTX-4, but after 4 hours of trying different things, Its up and running. I had to use a dremel, shoe goo, some drilling, soldering and a lot of thinking, but its on and works good! Got a reading of 43,500rpm and 53mph. This thing is cool, and it sits atop my R1

The antenna wire is the same one as is built in my Dell laptop for the wireless network card. If you have old laptop that has builtin wireless network antenna you can (most likely) use the antenna wire from it, and fix your antenna yourself. Of course you wouldn't have much use for the laptop afterwards
. Some computer or electronic workshop might be able to source you a wire if you ask for wireless network antenna wire.

This is just an idea and I haven't test it. It's a power booster.
If you think your ESC doesn't supply enough current to operate RX and Digital Servo, and thus you are experiencing glitching problem, lame servo movement, etc. Maybe this idea could help you to overcome the problems.
Buy LM7806 or LM7805 voltage regulator ( 7806 = 6 V output, 7805 = 5 V ).
Buy two 220uF capacitors ( or any ceramic capacitors.... doesn't matter ).
Buy extra servo cable ( Blue, Red, White ) to plug it into RX batt.
Buy heat shrink tubes 2mm & 15mm in diameter, solder, flux, and 60/40 lead.
And study this diagram.

yes i am
size of a dustbin
not sure about stuart ,he has the MX jobbie, not sure about the power cap
i will do a bit of digging (sherlock holmes style)
