This press release is from a couple of days ago.
One wonders of they will use the JR brand or the hideous DFA logos...

Just to recap. JR DSSS is way superior to Spektrum and on par with Futaba if not better. I know this because I am very familiar with the design of the RF circuitry.
Futaba scares me a bit with their telemetry injection on the main servo bus. With all the homemade style accessories some amateurs come up with this is less than ideal.

The part number of the pack for the 28x transmitter is: P3402-XG11
The capacity is 3400Ma, which is substantially higher than the JR packs.
They must be removed from the Tx when charged as they lack the temperature sensor contained in the factory pack. Maxxpacks can also provide a charge adapter lead as well.

My guess is the current programming will be the basis for the new radio. When the employees (who hadn't been paid in 2 months) left JR, they apparently destroyed the molds and tooling for the 28X. So while we won't get more actual 28X radios, there is still hope that the programming will be upgraded with DFA's new radio.

That's been in planning for sometime...it had to happen for models designed around the greatest servo ever made. Many many thousands sold over the years and
I think I have had one faulty!

NX servos you program this, they are soft start to reduce loads.
sounds like the stick just has some grit in it, airline might cure that, I had some compacted grass get into one of mine and it just needed blowing out.

Did you have a problem with a particular model JR Servo ? Just curious, as personally I have never seen a high end JR servo that wasn't nearly perfect, except for those with very worn gears.
Take care-Mike O.
PS From what I see on the DFA fb page, they are testing the new models heavily so far before release.

Side note: I recently sold a plane to a fellow who asked me to program it on his JR 12x for him. Now at one time, I had 3 12x's and absolutely loved them but, haven't used one in years. So, he comes over and drops it off and I get to setting up his plane on it. What a friggin' programming dinosaur!!! The new Tx's are so much more intuitive and flexible!
Not sure why you would long for the venerable JR8411, a servo from the late 1990's. Ever use the new high end MKS stuff??? Again, freakin' superb!!!

I just still want to know if there is anyone servicing JR radio equipment..... I need a gimbal replaced in one of my 12X's and I've heard so many different opinions of JR America's including a recent rumor that they weren't servicing stuff anymore either, I love my 12X's. I have no desire to change to something else, even less desire considering I don't want to have to replace around 20 receivers because of incompatible protocol.

Maybe Radio South could repair it if they are still around? If replacing, you could always grab a DX-18 and use all your existing receivers. I know the DX-18 doesn't look quite as nice but, you would soon forget that when you realize the ergos and the programming blow the 12x away.

[QUOTE=luv2flyrc;12432790]Totally agree. Why continue to pine for a brand that's dead when there are so many superb options available? Is it a nostalgia thing?

Simple.
Many of of us have been using JR servos for very many years with total satisfaction. The 8411 has been an outstanding device delivering the utmost reliability , power and precision.
If DFA now make this NX compatible and delivers similar reliability, it will be an even more outstanding servo.
I guess in my jet fleet ( 14, all fully equipped ) about 1/3 of the servos are 8411s , the rest being developments of the 8411, 85, 87, 89, 6311 and quite a lot of the new NX 8931 a truly superb programmable servo.
Lets hope DFA continue to develop these superb products, I wish them every success.
