Which Radio

Post by Martin Donnison »

I currently have a Futaba 7PX. What are you guys using to control your Leopard 2A4. Has anyone used a 7PX.
Thanks.

The FrSky Taranis X9D is a terrific system. I have 2 of them but use OpenTx OS on them. The further development of OpenTx, EdgeTx would probably be the more current but OpenTx works so well I have never converted them to edge.

For my latest models I'm using and one of the FrSky X20 series of systems that use ETHOS OS.

Once upon a time I wouldn't look at anything other than Futaba however times have changed. I still have Futaba systems but haven't got any others since the 9ZAP was new.. Tried Spektrum, have one, but never use it.

FrSky seems to be taking over RC - they seem to have something for every possible need.

Hi guys,
I am a rookie in tanks and was planning to use my Futaba FX-32 with a FASST R6014HS ... 14 channels should be enough but can I use the sort of radio for a tank?

Many thanks for your thoughts, Andre

If you already have it, try it. Nothing like experimentation on the bench to prove out a system.

If you run into trouble during bench testing then you can ask specific questions.
