cheap 3ch 2.4ghz setup with F/S

so i ordered a rc4wd 2.4ghz radio and reciever for 70 bucks. weary of its performance i put some dull batteries in and fired everything up. even at 9.8volts that combo has some distance to it, and the failsafe is flawless. tested at least 20 times. only con is it takes 8 AA like most setups. or you can get the rechargeable pack as it has the charge port built in.


lots of features


ease of use


nice range (even 20 ft away from a huge cell tower)


def recommend if ur looking for a cheap solution or backup

I was looking into getting a 2.4, but is it that much better than a 75FM? im running a MX-3 right now but it really lacks in range. Will a 2.4 get me the range i want

This is great information. Awesome price for a 2.4 GHz control system.

Hit the little red triangle button of the spammer's post and report this idiot.


I've done it a few times but Rob has not responded yet. I just checked and he last was around on: Last Activity: 10-21-2009 12:57 PM so he hasn't seen any of this crap yet.
