Default Need Radio Advice

I have heard that in order to run Blue Bird Servos (or any single/aftermarket setup) you had to have a receiver and radio with adjustable endpoints on the servos or something like that. I want to potentially do this in the future and want to know what kind of radio and receiver could I get for the lowest price and best value. Thanks for the help.

I've run a variety of servos, including bluebirds (which by the way, in my experience like to burn up without warning, and in my case opened my throttle wide open and held it there) and I have never had any problems using even the cheapest of low-end AM radios. Having end-point adjustments sure does make life easier as you can adjust your throws with the raid rather than having to get things right strictly with mechanical adjustments, but the best of my knowledge EPA is not required for any particular servo.

Is it possible that you are thinking of the digital programable servos? If so, I don't think you need anything special to use them, but you do need the right tx/rx or a special programming unit if you want to take full advantage of their added features. I am not radio or servo expert, but I hope the little I offer helps.

JR recommends EPA on all the highend servos.
