SRB Bloke 237 Posted September 28, 2015 Thanks Lee, 40mhz is an idea.. I was looking at a Spektrum DX6i, my thinking was something designed for aircraft should have better transmitting and receiving technology than a cheap 2 channel unit.. Any thoughts any one.

super gripper 419 Posted September 28, 2015 the 40mhz route is being taken by more and more people as the 2.4 world is ever increasinly saturated. with wifi and mobiles and all the other 2.4 junk flying around people are looking back at all those fantastic 40mhz sets they sold. More expensive sets such as Sanwa and Futaba are the way to go. But they are not totally immune to the 2.4 junk flying around. You will get lots of people on here 'well my Spectrum doesn't get affected' - usually from the ones who never even venture near a race track ! Try searching on ebay for a Samwa Gemini 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SRB Bloke 237 Posted September 28, 2015 Cheers Lee.. I've found one.. £150... quite a lot to enter one race a year... but if I knew it cured my problems I'd be very tempted... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
super gripper 419 Posted September 28, 2015 which one chap, do you have the link please ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jedward 89 Posted September 28, 2015 We race using Gemini X (2.4ghz) and never have any bother. Recently discontinued so prices will initially drop and you should be able to pick up a used TRX & RX for under £100. They don't often come up on eBay so try oople. We have also used Sanwa Gemini 2, also good & you should be able to get a used set for under £50 easy. As you say it's a lot for one meet. You need to start racing more! 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
super gripper 419 Posted September 28, 2015 I have the Gemini X for my trf502x but all my others are 40mhz. yes agreed, you need to race more Charlie went well on Sunday, after the initial pile up off the table top I think it was he was the back end of the field. his driving skills shone through as he made his way back to the front. It was a top drive. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SRB Bloke 237 Posted September 29, 2015 I'd better get saving.......... Lee, you're right about Charlie. I was really impressed by his driving. I was gutted for him when he didn't finish his Mod final.. I think he could be a star in the future. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

super gripper 419 Posted March 23, 2017 Just a heads up to all who are thinking of coming to this years Tamiya DT Challenge .................... There will no longer be hand out transponders, you will need to buy your own personal transponder. We have been able to cater for people previously with hand out transponders for the past four years, they are now no longer available. They were very old and were on there last legs. The Revival and other events also require you to purchase your own transponders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
