T-Rex 700 and 35Mhz

[choppertastic]

Are there issues with running 35Mhz in a T-Rex 700 as I've heard several people moaning about the PCM receivers locking out.

Cheers,

Lmao, a 35mhz in a 700? If you don't want it send it to me I will gladly look after it for you.

I don't see why it would be any different than any number of helis that have been running with 35mhz systems for years.

I run all my helli's on 35mhz with no problems, and if I bought a Rex 700 I would certainly use 35mhz with that too.

That is a lot of carbon for 35mhz. may work though, let us know

Not heard of many issues with 35mhz PCM in a TREX 700. 35mhz has been used in carbon heli frames for years. However, 2.4 ghz equipment is certainly affordable now and the DX7 is a radio that is more than up to the job, so would question what the point is in flying a heli that you are more than likely chuffed with and have spent some serious cash on when you are considering using equipment (35mhz) that runs a higher risk of causing you issues when there is a viable alternative out there that gives you less risk of any problems.

Said it before and will say it again, peace of mind is so important in this game for me......

RIP 35mhz. - (just my opinion!)

How about this for proof that 35 mhz is ok,


Will Walker Trex 700 - 35 mhz!

He's also flying a Trex 250 on 35 mhz too!!

JR must be the answer, 'cause I KNOW it would glicth like hell on Futaba

I thought that it was possible that carbon could block / shield a 2.4ghz signal.

I thought that it was possible that carbon could block / shield a 2.4ghz signal.

Generally with 35mhz the aerial runs down, between the skids and up to the tail fin, shielding with carbon fibre frames isn't a problem. If anything 2.4ghz should be affected much more by carbon frames as the aerials are much shorter and more likely to be shaded, that's why Spektrum in particular runs at least two receivers on all full range receivers and Futaba gives long coax shielded aerials with just the end whisker the vital part so they can be positioned better to receive the signal.
