I still have an old school JR system from 2002 lol

I got the m12s too. I love it

F her

Ill pass on that consult..

Pathetic

Yeah, I noticed this too. Seems like they're offering two tiers of receiver technology. Spektrum has this too with DSMR and their low end transmitters having FHSS. -Brett

He did mention that...

@@puzzleluvr yep, covered that topic

I had one of those 30 years ago! I didn't know that you could update it to a spectrum system! Cool I have all my cars on my Airtronics M11 with Spectrum systems. I am hesitant to upgrade to a new one but one with windows for all the functions and programing. I would love that because mine is hard to program. I can understand your sticking to what you have. I loved it and it was simple, mine is NOT!!!

Brett: Have you seen the new 7PXR? www.amainhobbies.com/futaba-7pxr-7channel-2.4ghz-tfhss-telemetry-radio-system-w-r334sbs-fut01004395-3/p1161390

RC moto that’s what I am thinking of going with spetrum dx5

Bars&tone RC only thing flysky needs to catch now is with their latency. Futaba 5ms vs 15 ms on flysky?

Oh, you hit the moon. That 7PX is really nice! I'm a little jealous but I like how you think. Well done. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies I agree. I wish the car companies would build cars and trucks like that. Quit putting out flawed parts from the start that need upgrades just to make run as advertised. That's why I want a quality kit company. Tekno is leading my wish list

Heck yeah man. What's your name? -Brett

AMain Hobbies Brandon , we hung out at Matt’s house off of Capitola rd !

@@fourtwentyecips Cool man! Glad you're into R/C. Thanks for saying hi. -Brett

Can you or anyone that reads this please help me with an upgraded radio choice/different options of brands? Im new to getting away from the rtr radios and have been told to get a Sanwa, Futaba T4PM. The T4PM has a super response option But requires you to buy a sr reciever which not sure what this option is for? Not sure what the distances of range are on different radios. Theres so many dam different radios out there and each seems to be for either racing, crawling, short track This that and the other thing it makes your head spin. Its almost making me want to just sell my brand new xmaxx still in the box with losts of $$$$ in brand new upgrades still in their pkgs cuz its almost like im never gonna figure all this out! I watch so many videos on different radios and people switching from Futabas to Sanwas etc. I dont race and right now my only rc is my new xmaxx. I do like decent sized backlit screens, I would like to program lights to run off my radio, I have no clue what all the settings due on upgraded radios like all the Trims. The throttle and curve and whatever other adjustments they do. You almost have to go to college to figure out radios and rc vehicles these days. I think i made a mistake of buying another xmaxx that im gonna be building/upgrading this time with Castles newest sensored 2028 motor and esc Instead of just staying out of the hobby. I cant believe how pissed im getting with trying to figure everything out. I still havent started my build yet as i still need lots of upgrades that are out of stock and still have to spend more $$$. Please email me at jdeeress@yahoo.com or if your response goes to my email then thats fine to. Thank You.

@@nitetrain7136 I'm sure Futaba is great but probably expensive. If you have the money it's probably the best. I would guess Spektrum is also very good, maybe a little cheaper. If you want budget you could try flysky. For $50 you can pick up a GT5 which does a lot for the money. I have that and the IT4s and like both of them. Haven't had any of the more expensive ones so I can't say how much better they are.

You deserve a White Russian lol 😁😆😅😂😭

@@mikejurnak4253 The dude abides!

I came into surface from drones and I too was a little disappointed. Stuff like there's no opentx/edgetx surface radio and there's no open source low latency rc link like ELRS in surface. And all the low latency, telemetry "racing" links in surface like Futaba and Spektrum cost an arm and a leg. Like a screenshot in this video showing a Spektrum RX that costs $79! I get low latency, over 10km of range and telemetry from a $10 rx bound to an $80 radio with my drone. Stuff like Futaba and Spektrum is dead in the drone space and we call them "legacy protocols". Surface is a good 10 years behind at this point.

@@ChinaExpatsRC I'm also annoyed at the cost of the ESC and that you need a proprietary programming box. Oh how I miss BLHeli...

Yes, there are transmitters that can be adjusted for left hand use, although it is usually reserved for higher-end models. This Sanwa M12S is a great example of left/right hand operation, in a high-end, fully programmable system. It is quite exquisite. Check it out here: www.amainhobbies.com/sanwa-airtronics-m12srs-fh4t-4channel-2.4ghz-radio-system-snw101a32361a/p668686 -Brett

The only requirement is for flying, you need a stick transmitter. For surface use, you can use stick or pistol type; your preference. -Brett

i made the same switch. your going to love it

The Spektrum DX5C has 5-channels and many buttons, all programmable to do what you need: www.amainhobbies.com/spektrum-rc-dx5c-5channel-dsmr-surface-radio-w-sr6100at-receiver-spm5120/p1049208 I'm not sure if there is a 3-position switch like the Traxxas radio, it may be a little different, but it would work. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies thanks man. Looks great.

Nice, they're great radios. The M11 is a FHSS 2, so it's compatible with Sanwa FHSS 2 surface receivers. If you have the M11X on the other hand, it is FHSS 3 but also backwards compatible with FHSS 2. FHSS 2 receivers are old and outdated now and will be challenging to find (we do not sell them anymore). FHSS 3 receivers are still available, like this RX-380: www.amainhobbies.com/sanwa-airtronics-rx380-2.4ghz-fhss3-3channel-receiver-m12-mt4-snw107a41077a/p536324 -Brett

Ha, we're good on those for now, but thanks. -Brett

I'll take em

I have a 6 channel transmitter and i use the xtra channels for shift servos if the model has a 2 speed trans,the extra channels can control winches,lights,servos but you will still need some type of controller for each channel you want to control.

I would go with any of the transmitters recommended at the end of the video; such as the 3PV, MX-6 or DX5C. -Brett

You'll need matching receivers for your new transmitter with each vehicle you want to use that transmitter with. -Brett

Heck yeah! 7PX LE Carbon Glory. Great choice Bill! -Brett

did you ever get an answer this

That should work. You just have to ensure the receiver and your new transmitter work on the same technology. Since the included SR315 receiver is compatible with both SLT and DSMR technology, it will definitely work with the DX5, which uses DSMR. High Five! -Brett

Hi Erik. >Will this transmitter work with both my cars as long as i have the right receiver? Yes, it will work with both vehicles as long as they each have their own compatible Futaba receiver. >Also, the receivers seem to have different ”protocols”, for instance ”T-FHSS”, what does this mean and do i have to choose the ”right one”? The protocol is the technology used for the device, and transmitter and receiver must use the same protocol to communicate to each other. The 7PXR is compatible with the following protocols: T-FHSS SR/T-FHSS/S-FHSS/FASST-C2 >Is there anything else i need to think of in terms of parts before i can use it with my cars? Your Maxx will lose TSM when you remove the Traxxas receiver, but other than that, no. The 7PXR is amazing: the screen is big and beautiful, the menus are easy to navigate and the touch screen is convenient. Very good choice for a new transmitter! Enjoy Erik! -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Thank you so much for your help Brett! It means a lot! Keep doing what you are doing, you’re the best! Best regards, Erik

It might be possible. You would need a Y-splitter to split the servo wire to both receivers and another y-splitter for the esc to both receivers; but, you'll need a switch on the esc splitter to power only the receiver you want to use - you can't have them both on. Splitters come in all different lengths: www.amainhobbies.com/eflite-t28-servo-yharness-efl08261/p1252429 -Brett

I've had one of those, great transmitter! Bummer there is no 4wheel steering. -Brett

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Futaba transmitters. They're all really nice, and like you mentioned, the 7PX is extremely nice! That would probably be my transmitter of choice if money wasn't an issue. For the telemetry functions, I think you just need a telemetry capable receiver for it to work. Do you need that with an X-Maxx? -Brett

It depends, is it the same brand? The receiver brand must be the same brand as the transmitter brand, and use compatible technology as each other. -Brett

No, probably not. You wouldn't be able to plug that ESC into a new receiver. If you upgrade the transmitter, in this case, you would also need to upgrade the ESC. But it's ok, your buggy is a good place to start your R/C experience and that 2-1 ESC/Receiver unit shouldn't slow you down as you improve your skills before you start stepping it up. Have fun Chozo. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies Thank you for the reply.

Most of them should do mixing. Is your twin motor boat setup with an ESC on each motor? The DX5C has a lot of power for it's small size: www.amainhobbies.com/spektrum-rc-dx5c-5channel-dsmr-surface-radio-w-sr6100at-receiver-spm5120/p1049208 -Brett

No, you will want a unique receiver in each vehicle. You will have to pair the receiver the first time of use, but after that the transmitter model memory saves the information. The alternative: share one receiver between multiple cars, which will require you to pair each time, calibrate the ESC and reset your trims - big waste of time. You don't want to share receivers, instead each vehicle will have it's own unique receiver. Hope this makes sense Alexis. -Brett

Very cool! To get it going, your best bet might be to find an exact transmitter, in the same frequency as the receiver (easier said than done). Swapping out the receiver would be the easiest method but I'm afraid the receiver in that car is part of one circuit board that controls all electronic functions, rather than using separate and independent components. If I'm wrong and the components are separate, the project should be much easier. To find that transmitter, I'd start searching electronic recycle websites and eBay. -Brett

The Rugged is a great transmitter and should be great to use with your Kraton 4S BLX, probably way better than the transmitter included with the Kraton. -Brett
