Default Is synthesized good enough?

Hi all,

looking for a new controller and i was wondering is those synthesized ones good enough to prevent freq clash? or do i really need to get a 2.4 ghz type?

and anyone know where i can get a futaba 3PM 2.4ghz FASST or is it not out yet?

Synthesized doesn't prevent you getting a frequency clash...Might be better than crystals, but you never know for sure...
2.4Ghz is currently my choice...No hassle in frequencies...

As for 3PM FASST, I dunno its out anot...But I've seen 3PKS FASST already...
Call the local hobby shops?

Synthesized is actually the same as using crystals BUT without crystals. You'll still get frequency clash with your synthesized radio when someone is on your frequency. The good thing is synthesized radio gives you the convenience to change your frequency just by turning the knob to another frequency that no one is using.

2.4 is a different thing, the receiver will pair up with the transmitter and will only recognise the transmitter it pair up with. In this way, no frequency clashes.

3PM Fasst is out in HK and you can get it in some HK online shop, cost around $300 plus. Not sure if it is out locally thou.

sometime, it can conveniently turn by itself especially when playing off-road which can cause glitches....
