New core RC 2.4ghz radio

[poopers]

I’m curious as to how strong the stick tension is, and if you can adjust it. The one problem I have with my Futaba is the tension is too weak and there’s no decent way to adjust it.

looks like a bargain.. if I hadn't recently upgraded to an esprit 3 (40meg), I'd consider one.

I have been thinking about going back to sticks, would like to hear from someone who has tested this set

This does look interesting. I'm not sure where I stand on Schumacher rebranding Chinese products as their own, like the Speed Passion esc's, but it does look like great value compared to everything else out there and I do like the piece of mind that comes from buying from a company with a UK presence. I have been looking at getting a new Tx but didn't fancy spending the £300 odd for a new Futaba or KO.

will be interesting to hear more from actual owner. A lot of US/UK company are rebranding asian products. this is reality. And a lot of Futaba products were also made in Malaysia and Taiwan. But, with Japanese QC, I don't have problem with it. Speed Passion were rebranding HobbyWing product. HobbyWing is pretty good stuff, has good review in China, however, they are expensive by the domestic (china) market.

Seriously... can't say much about chiyuan. As i said, domestic (china) review for Chiyuan stuff is not that good. Will love to see if the "Schumacher Core" version is any good.

In my humble opinion. There is a diff with "Rebranding, Marketing" vs Contract Manufacturing.

Personally, i wouldn't buy any of the "Core" products.

I bought one of these on the way home from Je spares £80 feels good a bit light weight but it had plenty of functions I like the digital trims. Going to fit it tonight and I'll be racing it this weekend at bury. I'll post on here what I think of it but Ive only been racing for 12 months so might not be to indepth of a write up. Stick tension is good almost stiff. Matereals feel a cheaper than my ko type r. Rx is same size as a spektrum. If anyone is at bury and wants a look feel free

Regards

Nice one, will hunt you out tomorrow

I've just ordered one of these sets too. It's cheap like a ten quid hooker, but if you want sticks and 2.4Ghz, and haven't got £250 for Futabas "mid" 3GR (I have the 40meg version, cost less than a ton, how 2.4 can cost over 100 quid more I'll never know), then if its of any use, then why not.

I'm not a brand snob, if it does the job, I'm not going to moan about petty things, It's less than £100 ffs.

The jury is out, lets just see how it pans out

just fitted mine very impressed with features peace of cake to bind nice feel ,well impressed

[Harris Magnum]

Yep mines is here and I have no complaints. Seems like a decent piece of kit.

[pat*1]

I bought one today,and used it tonight and im very impressed with it.Nice to hold just the right amount of weight with it...

[frogger]

+1 I got one of these today for my wife's car because I am tired of sharing my Sanwa and I must say I am very impressed by it, especially for the money! It feels nice in the hands, the sticks work and feel good and it has an incredible amount of settings. Binding was quick and easy too. All in all you just can't beat it for the money, I predict these will be very popular!

[Tom3012]

Had a hold of one last weekend, felt very solid and pretty good quality, its not as flash looking as some of the more expensive stuff but has all the toys on it. Its also smaller than a sanwa exzes, not by much but if enough to need a bit of time adjusting to.

I compared the reciever to my spektrum pro and its a little bit smaller but not much.

less than £100 is a bargain and reciever are only £35 i think, not bad at all IMO

[Qwghlm]

Any more reports from you guys that are using one?

Thinking of getting one and just wondered if any problems have turned up yet.

Does anyone know what power source these run off please? AA's or does it come with a battery pack/the option to use a battery pack?

Cheers!

On a similar topic, anyone know of a suitable charger? Seems a bit odd to include a charging jack but no appropriately rated charger
