There are only a few things to be aware of...
- Analog controls. Some escs dont calibrate well with analog settings. Using one with my Tekin RSPRO made a twitchy, uncontrollable mess.
- Steering trim is backwards
- Steering trim will drift. Turn your car off and back on again, you'll probably have to check and reset the trim. Also if you leave the car running for 5+ minutes. I'm always fixing trim with Dumbo radios... my biggest complaint.
Exactly. Although they are "nicer" than most RTR radios - it's a low bar. It's not a "nice" radio.
And although it does have lots of channels and some advanced hidden settings (watch some of the Youtube videos on how to access them) - it remains an analogue radio, with all the frustrations that entails.
A £100 digital radio from Futaba or Sanwa is SO much better.
