I'm surprised no one has mentioned the 1024 VS 2048 resolution. The 9303 is definitely 2048. I'm not so sure the 10C is. There seems to be some uncertainty on this. That would be a big advantage for the 9303 for me. Anyone know for sure ?

i think all we have is a bunch of cut and paste spec's along with speculations..........whatever Futaba releases will more than likely follow the comp.

summerwind---You are probably correct about the cut and paste business. IMO if the 10C does not go 2048 it will be "less than" the X9303 and Futaba will be missing the boat. Also if that's the case I will be trading my 9C in for a X9303 instead of the 10C. I plan on checking it out in a few weeks at the Toledo Show.

the only thing that suggests that the 10C is truly 2048 is that it's sold with the R6014FS Rx which is suppose to be 2048.....

According to the RCU announcement of the 2.4 10c, its 1024 and nowhere is it mentioned about quad-bearing gimbals--

Zactly........that's why i asked DougV (above) where he got the info on the gimbals...............in which he kindly provided a link...........but this info is most likely a cut and paste in an effort to get pre-sales......NO?

It coulda just been a mis-print though--usually the quad bearing gimbals are reserved for the high-priced tx's like the 12 and 14 Futaba's and the 12x JR's.
On another forum a rep from Hobbico also confirmed that the 10c is 1024 in either 72mhz or 2.4mhz.

Except that the R6014FS is compatible with the TM-8 module, which I doubt is 2048, unless that's the difference between 7 channel mode and multi ch. mode on the TM-8. While higher resolution is a good thing, with typical sport servos it is unlikely you could tell the difference between 1024 and 2048, with 1024 discrete positions on a control stick, the resolution is pretty fine, if you had a digital readout of those steps, do you think you could move the stick with enough precision that the readout advanced only one count, I'd like to try it.
I would think speed is more of a factor than resolution and resolution has nothing to do with speed.

Another thought, it was mentioned that the 10C is advertised as coming with the R6014 receiver. That all depends on how FASST the 10C makes to market and on how FASST the R6010 receiver makes it to market, (OK, I made up the model number), but you get the drift . As far as the advertising goes, there is a standard disclaimer for all product brochures, "The manufacturer reserves the right to change price, color, features without notice, blah, blah, yada, yada"

Dang guys,
I too was really hoping the Futaba 10C would be 2048. Hell, I would have really thought it would be.
Anyhow, wouldn't a 2048 Tx be very well suited for the new Hitec 7955's, which are supposed to have twice the resolution? (am I correct here, or way off ?) I admit, I'm lost when it comes to this stuff.
Hell, on the other hand, I feel like the Futaba 10C might have more features I want, than the JR. I mean, I MUST have the option of programming any switch to do as I want, and I just couldn't see having it any other way. OTOH, IF the Futaba is only 1024, then I need to determine IF having 2048 is REALLY going to be something I will want or not?
Dang, how I am having SUCH a hard time deciding.

It looks a couple of the major differences, that are important to me, are as follows:

1. 10C has infinite? assignable switches, 9303 does NOT.

2. Unfortunately the 10C is only 1024 capable, and the JR 9303 IS INDEED 2048.

Can anyone here convince me as to how important 1024 vs 2048 is? I could use the help, as this may help me make my final decision..


SO, it looks like I need to figure out this whole 1024/2048 issue here, before I decide...

I re-read the specs on the 10C in the RCU write up and nowhere did it state about "servo grouping". This, IMO is more important than the 2048/1024 issue. If this is the case, then I wouldn't even consider the 10C, unless you don't plan on having any planes with dual elevator servos. It is strange that the 10C doesn't have the 2048 since their competitor has this for basically the same price.
I do like the channel hopping system better than the Spektrum system BUT since I am flying mostly 50cc and up, the idea of the remote rx's outweighs this. With the remotes, you can position them in the plane so they get a clear view of the signal..with the FAAST you are limited to where you can place the antenna's.

These are just my views and reasons why I went with the JR. Both are easy to program too.
