I appreciate everyone's feedback... and after 2 failures in a row, I decided to change things up just a little. Yes, the budget electronics are no where near as reliable or efficient as the higher end tech, but it's easier for me to start with a higher end vehicle, and then upgrade down the road as the need arises. I spent my first nite on a track a couple of weeks ago, and quickly realized I have a long way to go before I will catch up with the ability of my truck. I spent a about $20 more and tried a RadioLink, RC4GSv3... the battery tray is much better designed for AA batts on this one, and I think that may have been part of the troubles I had with the FS. I use Duracell ProCell batteries, and they may be a little different than the cheaper batteries? Not really sure because I typically buy Duracell only. Years of testing have provided me all of the information I need to know this is best for me.
I have not driven with the new radio yet, but I can say it has way more features than I need for starting out and even has some Nitro features I will likely never use, but I was able to get it up and running in the living room without any major issues. The directions do leave a considerable gap in the knowledge department, but between a few videos and my techno desire I was able to get my steering EPA set and programmed the timer, so I can race against myself the next time I get practice time on the local tracks. I'm pleased so far, much more when compared to my previous experience.
Tekno SCT410SL > HW 3660 G2 (4300kv) > HW SR8-SCT ESC > ProTek 2s 9600 mah LIHV > JConcepts Green compound SCT tires > ProLine SCT body > EcoPower WP120T servo > RL RC4GSv3 w/R6FG receiver.
See you in the Dirt!
