2.4ghz systems 'claim' to be faster, glitch free, etc. To me it makes sense to be on 2.4 ghz, but I see otherwise on top level racing. Specifically at the JBRL series, I saw lots of long extended antennas on the expert class drivers stand as opposed to the 2.4 nubby antennas.
Thats a great question. I was wondering the same thing. I was in the market for a new radio, but then i noticed top level drivers still using the 75 MHZ radios. I currently have a futaba 3PDF. I know old skool right? its FM thought 75 MHZ. Is there really any huge benifit to upgrade to one of the 2.4 GHZ systems? I am by far no Pro and even though I love the sport of 1/10th onroad touring I do not need the top of the line gear to compete and have fun in my neck of the woods in South Jersey. So any insight on this would be awesome.
