I couldn't get 3ms to work with my 333hz servo (MKS HBL550LX), so not sure what's going on there, but 4ms is pretty fast too.
I have 3 R6FG receivers.
2 are R6FG V4 receivers that came with my RC4GS V3.
1 is R6FG V5 receiver that I got off of Amazon's RadioLink store

I was thinking about receiver size and limited space in my B74.1D.
The R8FG looks a little bit bigger. Even with 2 antennas. Would it be a problem for my B74.1D?
The R4FGM would be the perfect size for my Losi Mini B.
What I have in my car right now is I wrap the antenna around and tape it to the receiver. Doesn't really affect range as I am racing on a smaller - medium size carpet track.
Antenna-less receivers might be better. I know Futaba and Sanwa has a few antenna-less receivers that look pretty cool. But it's too expensive for me.
If RadioLink made antenna-less receivers, that would be nice.
I was looking at Futaba radios and receivers last night. I would be needing 3 extra receivers for my 3 other cars (Losi Mini, Slash 2wd, Rustler 2wd). They are around 70 dollars. Meaning $210 just for 3 receivers. It's just insane.(for me at least because I am 14 and getting into club racing)
