RE: eurgle 2.4 ghz
I have never heard of it.
Have you tested it out yet?
Key things to look for are how far the RC can drive away form you before you lse signal and your failsafe hicks in.
How low of voltage your RX batt can go before the failsafe kicks in.
If the radio is truely free from glitching. Some cheap 2.4GHz radios still suffer twitching servos and all.

RE: eurgle 2.4 ghz
Finally left China! (my tx and 3 rx's) Another week or so and I'll post how they are. I found reference to them on other forums, all good reviews.

Sweet! Mine came in. Bound the additional rx's with no problems. So many adjustments you can make! Steering wheel can swing out. Hope to try it this weekend. Only thing missing is a built in failsafe, but for what they cost, I'm very impressed so far.

RE: eurgle 2.4 ghz
Have you tried other servos? I've bench tested my rx's. (hooked up batt. & rx, 2 servos) All work. Also check your settings on the TX.

Yes, no problems so far (Although at first I thought I got a bad TX, thought the buttons didn't work, lol, just needed to press and hold the enter button)
Are you using an ESC and servo, or two servos?

RE: eurgle 2.4 ghz
Go into your settings and check the ARC. The values should be L-00, 1-25, 2-50, 3-75, H-100. I noticed only model one came set correctly (settings were 25,50,75,100,0!!! makes for strange movement)
So far I love this radio. I'll try to check the range soon.

RE: eurgle 2.4 ghz
where do you guys think would be the best place to get extra RX for this radio? I know Hobby City carries some RX that are supposed to be compatible http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...z_Receiver_6Ch
for the price they are great but I would rather Have the smaller 3ch one with the long antenna and without the satellite.

RE: eurgle 2.4 ghz
www.r2hobbies.com has them. So far, one scary note. Neither of my failsafes (venom & duratrax) work with it and it has no built-in failsafe. It's like the failsafe can't tell the rx has lost its signal. If my picoswitch (killswitch for 1/5 gas) doesn't work..... [:@]

RE: eurgle 2.4 ghz
They're perfect for that I think. I just did some distance testing (set my TX in the driveway and started walking with my battery and tx in hand) After about 100-125 meters the signal was strong, after that the signal became eratic (depended alot on position of the antenna, signal made it about 150 meters - no direct line of sight - around the corner and down the street from my TX, I'll head to an open field this weekend for better testing) It still makes me nervous that my failsafe doesn't work. And from the forums I've read (mostly translated freach, manderan, swedish) none will, and the third channel will work for the pico switch, but only with the button on the TX, if it losses signal, it doesn't kill the engine. The thing that makes the lack of a working failsafe really scary with these is that if you loose signal at full throttle, it will stay at full throttle with power and signal from the rx keeping it there. Bye bye babay 
For the most part, I don't run more than about 100m (more like 75m, my eyesight isn't what it used to be) away from me, so I'm not to worried. As long as I keep an eye on my TX power (it will beep if it's power drops too low), and make sure my RX battery is charged (not as much as a worry, slow or weak steering will show a low battery PDQ). I'm still very impressed with the amount of settings (and cost) of the Eurgle, but if you can't setup any real failsafe... that's a big turn-off for alot of people (not me, I tend to push my luck for the buck - translation - cheap) I hope someone has a work-around for the failsafe, I haven't figured it out yet.

you can always spend $80.00 and get the Assan 2.4 combo with 2 RX down the road. http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...W/_Module_&_RX or some other cheap JR 2.4ghz Module.

RE: eurgle 2.4 ghz
The ads for the radio say it has a throttle cut, but there's no mention of it in the manual (or the contrast adjustment and timer function) so I'm assuming there isn't one, but I'm hoping I missed something.

RE: eurgle 2.4 ghz
where did you get the radio from with 2 RX shipped? was that some kind of sale that was going on?
on this website it doesn't list it with Throttle cut. Maybe there is some kind of mix you can do for throttle cut. let me know what you come up with,
