Have you had a problem with Futaba FASST?

[Ade_Law]

Simple yes or no, Do not include faults that have been rectified with their current range of TXs and RXs or lockouts due things like duffer regulators etc etc.

[electricsceadu]

i'm still on 35mhz
but the lads in my club that use fasst haven't had any problems
even with the zero code and ripmax have replaced the early 6ch sets that were in the club so it shouldn't be a problem

[Twister3D]

No

[Taffage]

nope!

[xygax]

I witnessed a problem at north notts flyin. Im pretty sure it was the futaba heli that went down, the first time it glitched and landed hard, the second it was a write off. I heard the guys talking to real raptors/one of them at least, and mentioned flicking a switch on the tx (im sure i heard it was a dx7 flicking a switch nearby, but its impossible right?) and the heli went down. Ill see if i can find out next weekend unless the guys are on here, but there was defo a problem with futaba gear on the crashed heli.

Tom ...the poll said have " you " had a problem with 2.4fasst .. yes or no lol ......

And theres no way spekky and fasst cant interact with each other

" No!! " for me as well ... 2.4fasst

Aide, whan assessing these results then yuo should also take into consideration that spektrum probably outnumbers futaba FAAST by 10:1 on here!

However I'm conviced that either spektrum or FASST is definitely an improvement on 35Mhz. Even if its just for piece of mind when you get that 450 out for a wizz somewhere strange.

Futaba 2.4ghz I've never had an issue with my models or seen anyone on futaba 2.4ghz have an issue either i'd say at the Club were a pretty even split with spektrum having taken the lead early on in the year the futaba 6exa's brought the number of futaba 2.4's roughly back to even numbers.

things I like about Futaba receivers they do just work they don't suffer low voltage brown outs and not heard of the T-rex 500 static issue with them. (happy to be informed otherwise) Never had to re-bind the receivers either.

I dislike the way the receiver has the servo plugs plug into the receivers though.

Futaba 8 channel plus is 2048 res out of the box, spektrum buy a new tranny.

thanks guys,

moyesboy, thats why i have a yes and no option.. or will do once stuart sorts it for me... coz the dumbass that started this thread forgot to add the poll.. doh!

that way we can use the % numbers rather than the head count.
