Ko 2.4 vs 40 mhz

ben · #1 01-09-2008

Ok sorry if this has been posted somewhere else. Ive been running spektrum for last 18months and have have had problems with glitching and stuff. Then at the weekend i was running 40mhz for the first time in along time and i could really tell the difference in the response time compared to the spektrum. So what im wanting to know is if the ko 2.4gig system is as quick as the 40mhz stuff?

Thanks ben

hey up dude. I was running the KO Spektrum combo this year, and finally gave up on it due to constant glitching/car stopping and starting during a race (and i tried changing everything). i went to 40mhz, and it stopped instantly.

I've just gone to Futaba Faast 2.4ghz, cos i can't see how it's possible to get interference on that system (preparing to eat my words), with the way it's designed

Thanks for the reply stan. Were you using a digital servo with the KO system?

I have been running the futaba 2.4 gig system for 18 months now and it is fantastic it was a bit pricey but well worth it. And Craggy is using it now so it must be good. PS well done Ben for this weekend.

futaba faast is the future

The really weird thing is I now have Stan's gear and it's been fine (uh oh, now what have I done!)
I run non-spread spectrum versions of the GTB and KO 2413 & 2368 servos in my B44 & B4.
I've even run it in a FTX Blaze with Tekin mini rage brushless and it ran fine.
I do run the power caps on the receivers, but Stan gave me them as well!

I doubt that this is much help, but thought I'd share my experience with the same KO & Spectrum gear that Stan had.

Only at mid west regional level so not as many people there as a national. Also did a meeting at Talywain which was where you had your worst glitching wasn't it?
