I've heard some rumors of Futaba and Hitec coming out with thier own complete Spektrum radios, similar to the DX3. I saw on the Hitec forum that indeed it's in the works and will probably debut at the RCX show in May.

Well I got mine yesterday. I bound the first receiver for the truggy. The antenna wire sure is short, I had to cut my antenna tube less than half way.

It's going to really be nice to not have to even look to see what frequencies are available.

speaking of Spektrum.. I did the M8 Spektrum mod today. I ran my 7.5 and while I was running I noticed the antena would not stand up well on it own. yeah it was broken so I read up on the XRC article on the integrated spektrum antena mod and went to work. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I just hope I don't ever have to send the spektrum in for service. I don't think they will like the mod all that much. All I have left to do is find a plug to cover up the hold left from where the original antena was mounted.

Try using one of those rubber tip used to cover the fuel bottles.
Put it in backwards or the other way.

Worth a shot and looks to be about the same size.

I slapped a sticker across mine with two small holes cut out so I can still use the binding button and view the light.

I notice while thumbing through various RC magazines there are very few if any pro racers using Spektrum, why is this?

Anyone with a M11/Spektrum combination having any issues? I've seen a few reports of people with this combination having glitching issues, runaways or the failsafe not working correctly. My guess is that it's a problem in some other piece of thier combination, but the talk seems to go back to the M11 having some issues that the M8 didn't.

Ive had some minor issues. The antenna wire on the transmitter didnt have a solid connect so I squeezed the connector tighter, snaped it on then RTVed the area to keep it from moving. All was well till I had some glitching with my xxxnt in the pit room last night, put the car on the track anyway and had no problems. Crazy Huh??

The spektrum ads in the mag's say "Now includes free 2nd receiver". So that's the new price..radio and the 2 rx's $209?

Were you sitting by the microwave?

My crappy stock MiniT radio freaks out near the wireless phone/linksys LAN router in my basement. Everywhere else it's fine.
