and it only comes with one reciever,so can i just buy a crystal that match up to the freq and stick it in the stock tornado reciever and use the reicever that comes with the radio in the hurricane?
thanks

RE: radios

and just replace the entireradio system no need to upgrade and keep crappy electronics in it

RE: radios
 

You mite want to look for one with a metal gear servo for the steering because i heard the one in the hurricane has brass gears or something like that,and it likes to crap out on you, so you mite what to check that out with some of the people that have the hurricane.

RE: radios
 

i have some pretty good servos, i dont really even need anymore but i guess a cheap back up wouldnt hurt either.

RE: radios
 

if you are getting a radio for nitro vehicles, then FM is almost a must to have.

Airtonics is now exclusively sold by Global Hobby... so that leaves GPMD with Futaba's fake feeling radios.

Going cheap in this hobby gets you nowhere, except deeper into your wallet.

RE: radios
 

There is a reason that most of the radio air waves changed over to FM......................do you ever hear anything on AM but Rush Limbaw ?...............lol

RE: radios
 

i was just tring to cheap out on hte extra reciever. i cannot use a AM reciever with an FM crystal????? or can i???

RE: radios
 

if your strictly a basher and dont race competively you dont need an FM I dont own A single fm radio other than the stock fm for my Mini LST and I have never had a problem with my am channels but some people do experience alot of intrference which is not good but I guess it all depends on were you run and how you run A nice FM radio is always a plus but not always necessary

RE: radios
 

am crystals for am. fm crystals for fm

RE: radios
 

this one is alot cheaper than the airtronics cheap fm.

those fm recievers are alot of $$$.
is this one any good??
im really not looking at spending a fortune. but i dont want junk either.

RE: radios
 

I have that one. works pretty good to be honest. But the crowds are getting bigger at my track so I am going to spektrum like the rest lol.

RE: radios
 

thats kinda why i wanted to go AM, nobody uses that and there are only so many FM channels. i ve never had a major glitch that wasnt my fault with my crappy stocker radio.
those specs are really high$$

RE: radios
 

anyone ever seen this brand?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Spektrum-DX3-0-D...QQcmdZViewItem

i guess this one is good, i just hate to pay more for the radio than the car.

RE: radios
 

personally for me with the ever increasing amount of nitro enthusiests around I reckon if you are going to upgrade your radio, go buy yourself a spektrum!! Seriously awesome radio system that is completely glitchless and crystal less. Future proof yourself and spend the bit extra and buy something thats going to last the distance.

RE: radios
 

yes I have heard of it. In the post above I told you to get one lol.. They are great radios

RE: radios
 

The funny thing is, the Spektrum DX3 in the ebay ad only comes with 1 receiver. The DX3 comes with 2 receivers normally. For around 200 bucks, you can get an unmolested DX3. :D
I have one now and love it. No glitches or worrying about somone running the same frequency.

RE: radios
 

what so you can get 2 recevers

RE: radios
 

Yeah, the DX3 comes with 2 receivers so you can run it on 2 cars.

RE: radios
 

cool no diffrance tho in range and is it a bit more money
