JS -2 and Pershing. I have my 2A6 currently hooked up to my spektrum dx6-i.
I did not try the Tamiya Attack 2.4
HYWD Black Radio with my Leo 2. So, I do not know. I would guess not though, why?
My main issue is that the Futaba
2.4 4YF basic
Silver Radio would not operate the Leo 2A6
stabilization unit.
Much later, in the Summer of 2015, I bought the Type 10 rc tank kit from Banzai Hobby. That kit came with the same Tamiya Attack 2.4
HYWD Black Radio as packaged in your
JS-2 kit and did not work consistently with Type 10
DMD + TBU.
The Futaba Skysport
2.4 4YF Silver Radio also did not operate the Type 10 tank
DMD + TBU very well, which was a similar issue found with the Leo 2A6, but
DMD + Stabilization Unit is the problem (
did not access the stabilizer at all)
.
The Futaba
FM 4YF Ground Radio works perfectly in both my Leo 2 and Type 10 builds,
operating all systems without fault.
Opinion: The Tamiya Attack 2.4 HYWD Black Radio works perfectly with my Tamiya
JS-2 and Pershing DMD, MF, TBU Systems. as you have found out. The radio does seem cheap, doesn't look good and the trim tab movement operates rough in my examples. So, the Tamiya 2.4 HYWD Black Radio is not much of a deal and it costs more than the Futaba Skysport 2.4 4YF RC Radio.
