I have been using the DX6i for a while, it came with my P-51 pts. I am still using the 4 cell 1500 mah NiMh rx pack that came with it. It came with the 6 channel RX the 6200 actually.

This is the one that had all of the issues brownout lockout stuff.

The radio was recalled just after I got it, had it back in less then 2 weeks. It was really good service I got email updates on everything. I have never once had any issue with it. Everyone says use a 6v pack for the rx but the 4cell has been fine for me.


I think if you keep a close watch on your battery voltage under a load you will be fine, I have been. Once I NEED to go 2.4 I will be happy I have the DX6i.


That being said, until 72mhz becomes illegal or something I will continue to use it. Everyone going to 2.4 is just opening up my channel I have a Futaba 6EXAP that has room for 2 more models. I can get a hitech 8 channel rx for a really nice price [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXKYK3&P=0]$29.99[/link] this leaves me money for other fun stuff I have to save to get my planes and gear. This is my current saving project [link=http://www.nitroplanes.com/72p-fs120ar.html]Merry Christmas ( I hope) [/link]
