Where did you get that statistic from? Recently at the TITC race in Thailand with over 300 drivers from all over the world present I didn't see any more than 1-2% of the racers using spectrum. I'd say it was somewhere equal between futaba and sanwa users with a few KO's. If spectrum is so good why don't more real racers use it? To me it's a cheap radio which is value for money for the occasional racer/basher. I just wouldn't rely on one..... Why skimp on the most important piece of kit you have? You spend 1000's on top end servos, esc's, motors engines chassis etc and then stick a spectrum in the car with $10 orange receivers with terrible latency! Doesn't make sense to me..
