Its a shame. I used JR for 25 years and was happy with the product. Never had anything JR fail. I used a 9303, 10X then a 12X when they went to spektrum and never had any problem. I wanted a little more capacity and bought a DX-18 stealth. As I read about people having problems (ie. worked fine till it quit) I lost confidence in Spektrum built products. The JR Spektrum made in Japan seemed to work fine. I purchased a JR XG14 and several receivers and was elated with their performance. I love the XBus. Now that JR seems to be dead I have to look again for a radio system that I trust. If JR does in fact survive their products will be outsourced for production and I just cant trust them any more. The difference is the JR product made in Japan was top notch quality, the outsourced stuff I have my doubts. Move to another system is coming soon. This thread was never intended to be a brand war but I am really pissed that Spektrum cant get their crap in one bag and JR appears to be dead. Now on to what servo to use in the future.
