9 Cap beeats almost all radios out there and if U want to go 2.4 U can buy a module from HiTec or Futaba and God forbid from JR or Spectrum and then U have the Best of all worlds. Don't give up on your 9 CAP it a better radio than 90% of the cheep spectrum junk out there and 2.4 is only the RF the programing is what's important not the RF except when it comes to the spectrum Brand as a brand then be ware ... U've got a large investment in your old receivers and such go with a module. I personally went with the HiTec RCD 2.4 module and 2 9 channel receivers for around $200 then Because I wanted to check out the Telemetry stuff offered I later purchaced an Aroura 9 system then 2 because I found one used on RCU cheep $175 with an extra module and receiver.. Good luck with what ever U do but U'll probably never find anyone on your Frequency Just remember to take the PIN.
