I've tried using Hitec digital servos with the HRS receiver and it's working fine. I don't have any KO digital servo so cannot confirm compatible or not. You might want to try it out on the KO servos.

Anyone knows how to activate the F/S or battery F/S for EP cars properly? Should I actually use Battery F/S at all for EP cars? I caused major mayhem for the other cars in my 1st heat...

I tried the 3PK just before the Expo race, and well uh... found the handling and feel about the same as my 3PDF. Both weight in about the same too! So for now I'll stick with my 3pdf.

Ozone: Very scary siah. Phantom was besides me with the earphone attached to the TX!

Yah Kenneth, didn't you program the secret button at the hand grip to clock your car speed?

You're right on that Stratuskyo, you cannot use normal servo with the HRS receiver because the manual said it will cause fire hazard. The PCM receiver is ok for normal servos but 3 times slower in response speed.

The manual STATED that you MUST use a DIGITAL servo with the HRS receiver. Risk of fire hazards. Follow the manual when in doubt.
