Just wondering if anyone has tried using the Corona 2.4Ghz components in their boats. I know that the Futaba 2.4 system works well, and have read that the Spektrum DSM doesn't work well...whereas the DSM2 does (although I have no hard evidence in either case).

I would like to try using the Corona DIY mod kit in my JR XS3. Of course, I would try this in a slow boat first.

Any input would, of course, would be warmly accepted =)

well ive seen the plane guys about ALMOST split on the idea using the corona DYI kit-personally I dont think I would go the corona route cheap electronics are one thing BUT cheap radio equipment is kind of a gamble..

you can try the Tactic 2.4. TTX-240. Same radio system that in the Miss vegas duce.

ive had a hard time saying no to this one.

over the years of become used to my traxxas radio. (i use it in everything even my losi xxx buggy)
and any time i pick up a new radio or try to use someone elses, it just doesnt feel right.

so i was thinking i could try to convert, and see what happens, then if it sucks lol, ill just throw it out and force myself to make the switch.


have you guys seen the new spectrum for 100 bucks? http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/D...ProdID=SPM3160 , i think its pretty awsome.
just no fancy displays, or telemetry. that stuffs too fancy for me anyways lol

Then get a traxxas TQ 2.4 radio system. That What I'm getting next. Can find them cheap on e... bay.

andybenton

ive been thinking about that too, but i wanna convert it to run on lipo, (rechargable, and long battery life)

so i was figureing i could do it all to the one ive got lol.     i may just go ahead and get the traxxas 2.4ghz

Only problem buying off of Fleabay is you never know how it's been used/abused by the seller. There are many things I will buy used, radio gear is not one of them.

joseywales

Hj there are some new one's that guy's sell's. Most guy's buy new rtr's and part them out to make bigger profit on them. Most are from hobbyshop's who's sell's on there.

andybenton

yeah, but i can get the conversion for 20 bucks. and the darn traxxas is like 50 bucks new

toyotatruckin

lol HJ your just paranoid, out of around 10 used radios over the years Ive bought, I have had ZERO problems with any of them, NOW if it was a USED TX or RX from a boater I would seriously test out the RX!

andybenton

lol i take it HJ isnt one to finish a boat XP

toyotatruckin

Well andy do you remember the old lolly-pop commercial with the owl (how many licks does it take....) same basics can be used for HJ, How many half built hulls will he build before he actually finishes one???? THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW [sm=lol.gif]

andybenton

lol thats not funny, ive got two planes (half finished) 1 balsa hull (half finished) and one fiber hull (half finished)

lol but at least ive got an excuse ( in my mind any ways lol) i ran outa money haha

oh and ive got a pan car, half finished, and a losi xxx4 G+ electric buggy, half finished hahaha

time to sell something i think.

misshydro

the proublem is andybenton is,HJ has 7 hull's that are half built. been that way for 5+years now and he bought three more kit's to build and they wont be done for another 5+ years. Can you say to many irons in the fire?? All the wasted time on them,he couldve had two or three of them done and running wright now.

andybenton

lol, im not that bad. all of mine were running at one point, and i havent had the planes or the boats for more than 3 months now.

As far as buying used R/C gear, it has nothing to do with being paranoid. I've wrecked boats due to radio failures and WON'T TRUST ANY R/C TO RADIO GEAR I DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY OF

misshydro

andy I'd bought two used radio's and had no proublem's, but had two new radio's systems from the miss vegas and both glitched out on me..

andybenton

lol ouch guys XD

Hydro Junkie

Okay Missmouth, have you started to build a Pak 20 kit yet? If not, you need to get and build one so I can show you the proper way to build a boat.

misshydro

oh please I'd proubley have that built before you do.. proper way to build a boat ya your time that is 5+ years [X(]. Your just mad because you don't even have one of yours 7+finished yet and a girl beat you.[X(]

Hydro Junkie

BTW Misshydro, what is the best AOA and dihedral/anhedral for a sport 20? What about hull depth?
Only thing that gets me mad is how much I helped you over the years just to have you turn into an arogant self-rightious witch

misshydro

take it threw the PM's HJ. other wise quit wrecking this guy thread.

Hydro Junkie

why dont' you answer the questions on AOA, hull depth and dihedral/anhedral? Scared that you'll look stupid?

misshydro

Hj wheres that sport40 whiplash? The one you was bragging about,having it finished last year? Oh it never proubly got past frameing stage?
