TBS says there will be some way to add a screen but it won't come equipped with one so I went ahead and score a Tango 1 real cheap. The hall effect gimbals are a HUGE upgrade over the normal potentiometers. They are butter smooth even after months in the sand here in FL. The X9D has two of them, the M9 and M9R gimbals. The M9 gimbals have the normal 60 degree throws while the M9R will have 45 degree throws. For most people the normals are fine but I like the reduced throw ones. I've had both (I go through gimbals about every 3-6 months) and the M9R is my favorite. The signals sent are much smoother and it can be felt on an aircraft, not so sure about ground vehicles.
Hi Erik. I am happy so far with my gimbals, but if I have to replace them at some point, why not to upgrade? Lol.
Do you know if any of those hall gimballs can be fitted with no horrible industrial work in the 9x radio? I tried to find some info but I could not find much. I belive the time of the 9x radios is almost gone...
But it is normal, I have seen tons of new alternatives! I also took another look at the Tarango radios, and definitelly radios are improving quite a lot in no time! And also are affordable! Anyway I still think IF I needed another radio because a massive catastrophic failure of mine (lets say lipo fire), I'd get the jumper T16. I hope they make agreements with the frsky guys at some point.
