ok so I have heard good thing about both the jr radio and the spektrum radio im kinda liking the spektrum better just because you dont have to worry about cristals or ajusting the sinthisized so what do you guys think

Both I think are great.

Having my JR far as long as I have and not had a problem with any for there stuff, I would say JR. I have heard and seen issues with the Spektrum. I am not knocking the Spektrum, I think it is great system.

With alot of people going to Spektrum, that is less times I would have to change channels. By the way, changing a channel takes 3 seconds.

Hope this helps,
Jerry

ok just if i get a jr im gona get the xs3 and if i get a spektrum im gona get the 3.0

Yeah, if ya get the JR, get the XS3.

Jerry

what does everyone else think?

buy the jr z-1 you can switch it to spektrum later best of both worlds

do you have a link to it

Spektrum 3.0 just like the JR in features and a lot cheaper than the Z-1.

Invest wisely the first time.

Only problem with spektrum is running 4 cell on-road or high draw mod motors - get a capacitor from spektrum or novak and all is good. That is what I have done.

If you run stock 6 cell you should not have any problems.

I run a revo

i like the spektrum cuz u just turn it on and go u dont have to mess with anything but people keep telling me that the spektrum dosent have as many adjustments as the JR is this true?

My buddy just got one and it has all the features that the JR has. Basically the same but spektrum technology.

Plus for about $200 on e-bay you can get the radio, 2 servos and 2 recievers which in my eye is a kick ass deal.

mc

so u think that the new spectrum is really that much better than the older one

with the new spektrum controler can you turn the servo speed up or down the first version you can not change the servo speed

i think u can with the new one

yes u can adjust the servo speed with the new one

well chop you have to be smarter than the controller

I ran the JR for a couple years with no trouble. I switched to spectrum, and like they said, I needed capacitors on my carpet cars. I ended up with the M11 with a spectrum module and it's GREAT! Buy the best radio you can't afford, Z1, M11, 3pk

Sensor, React......... :thumbsup:

React or sensor.

I like my Futaba 3PK with spektrum, but for the money and running nitro I would buy the new Spektrum. You can't go wrong with the Spektrum. I won many races with my Revo and my Spektrum radio. That was the first thing that I upgraded on my Revo and I ran the Spektrum for two years with no problems at all.

I have both the Spektrum and JR XS3 and can't complain about either one. I miss the the 6 vehicle memory on the Spektrum though.

well I only have 3 cars so thats fin with me I dont need a 20 car memory lol

just make sure to set your failsafe correctly to avoid a runaway

True, that can happen. It also doesn't have a low voltage failsafe, some say it does. I had a servo go WOT when the charge went very low. That may have been a Hitec servo issue not sure, Hitec didn't have an answer. Fail safe worked fine when you turned the radio off however, no signal. I will check my other servos under low voltage conditions and see if the same thing happens. This only happened in my CRT not in my buggy. Steering servo would go to the nuetral position so it is puzzling.

I run a fail safe and a throtle return spring just in case lol

I run a fail safe and a throtle return spring just in case lol

I tested using a secondary failsafe and it will work with the Spektrum. I thought it might interfere with it somehow.

so i should be good with the throtle return sprint and fail safe

so i should be good with the throtle return sprint and fail safe

For sure. :thumbsup:

ok just making sure

Like I said before I ran my Spektrum DX3 in my Revo with the stock Traxxas 1100mah battery and a JRz9000t and a JRz9000s and a personal transponder for 2 years with no problems at all.
I set the fail safe position to neutral and relyed on the throtle return spring but I never had to use that feature.

ok sounds good know i just have to talk my dad into helping me get one lol

well it looks like I talked him into it go to ebay this is the item number 220067713290

That only has one reciever. You can get a good deal from either Amain or CarolinasRC with their discounts. Amain has it for $225 with the 2 receivers. YOu can alos get a good deal from CarolinasRC. Just give them a call.

I really only need the one plus I already bought one of those off ebay
