Good club spec radio

[Nickwillyhams]

Hi all, what radios are you guys using at club level (steering wheel)? I had a dx2 for bashing my rtrs about with but it's just not upto the job no more, used the dx7 for a few years so menus terminology etc are familiar but I wouldn't be bothered about switching brands. Any input appreciated

Cheers
Nick

Sanwa mt4

Futaba 4PL is what floats my boat but it is a pricey mid range TX. That said it has been perfectly reliable, no glitches, great range even without using aerial tubes.

[Nickwillyhams]

Has the 4pl been replaced by the 4pls now?

[Aire valley]

If you are used to Spektrum..the Dx2s....Dx3s... or the new Dx4s are all good IMO....

Yep 2 1/2 years not a single glitch touch wood had m11x before but prefer the mt4

Sanwa Gemini x mate it's a great bit of kit for the money

Yes, I think it adds telemetry but apart from that is very similar.

I really like the futaba stuff, but I really like the mt4s too hmmmm no real price difference in the two. Cheers guys

There is a new high end Futaba out soon (4PX) so you might find a few cheap 4PKS out there new and used which is a proper high end radio system.

Spektum Dx3S is a great controller, mines never missed a beat.

Plus there is one for sale cheaply on oOple atm (dont know the guy and live a few hundred miles away!)

I bought mine 1 year ago and for all that time it's just worked.

Before this I had an Ansmann W3.1 (basically a re-badged Sanwa MX Sport) and that gave me faultless service for 2 years as well, even when running Savox servos I never needed a power cap.

Get the MT4

What are thoughts on the m11x? Look a real high end piece of kit that should last and I've found a couple for sale at a good price?

It should be noted that telemetry is not only not required, but not allowed in 1/10 off road.
No idea if it's ever been checked for though.

I couldn't feel a difference going from it to the 4 mine died for no reason though it was working fine low batt alarm came on and it never worked again after charging couldn't be repaired either
