Hey BAX, it seems that several of the 72mhz systems offered by Futaba are drying up FASST. There are more and more 2.4 ghz available, and fewer 72mhz. According to my information, 72mhz will be legal to use for years to come with no mention of end in sight.

Is Futaba going to do their best to fix that and us, by eventually only selling 2.4? It sure looks like it with what they are shifting to right now.

For those who like 72mhz or are heavily invested in it, should we begin to look to other manufacturers that still seem 72mhz friendly?

I scanned this forum history and didn't see anything about this topic, but maybe I missed it?

Thanks,

Futaba has not discontinued 72 MHz systems. All systems are available on 72 MHz, with many of those same systems available on the 2.4 Ghz FASST system.

But they have begun, and as an example, the $300 - $350.00 9C series has been replaced with a $600 dollar 2.4 ghz. ; Per your quote - http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=7555843

Some are getting a feeling that Futaba is about to turn a corner on us.

The 10C will be available on all 72 MHz channels as well as the 2.4 GHz FASST system. The 10C FASST units will be out first.
