I ordered up a package deal for a M11 and spektrum off of ebay almost 2 weeks ago. Finally the packaged arrived yesterday (I'm not too mad because I did buy just before the holidays). I'm all excited, open it up, and no spektrum. WTF? I looked through the rest of the box, no where to be found. I emailed the guy right away last night around 5:30pm. Still no word Sad.

God I hope he doesn't screw me over. Sad. Turns out he is local too. I hope this gets resolved quickly, or I'm screwed for this weekends race. Sad

Guy goes by the name 'powerhobbyy' on ebay.
good feedback numbers on him?
Yeah, it's over 8000.
Damn that sucks Tune. How you get what you paid for !!!
why do you need a spectrum. what does it do

Eliminates having to get a frequency clip and someone else running your channel.
Runs off of 2.4 ghz band. Built in failsafe also.
This mighe be a little of the subject, but what do you guys think of the spektrum dx3?
It's been talked about. It is not the most featur packed or best feeling radio but for the price you cant beat the performance.
Sounds like a good buy

It replaces the transmitter and receiver modules of the standard radio system. It automatically "finds" open frequencies and locks onto one for you, ensuring that nobody else is in conflict. It's better than synthesized FM for lots of reasons, but the "not having to change channels, ever" is a big selling feature. Because of the band it operates on, it's more resistant to noise from outside sources. It's nice, if you have the coin.
249 isnt that bad.
thanks, I heard that they are expensive are they?

and how much are they?

Look up one post. It says that $249 isnt bad. They are about $250 everywhere...
oh sorry.


thanks
No problemo man. I am debating between saving for a spektrum or getting an M8 with the spektrum. How much is just the module and reciever for the M8/M11??
M11 for $229 at Ultimatehobbies.com. The DX3 is also very cheap there, just call.
Not the radio... the Spektrum module and reciever FOR the m8/m11.
$150.00 you can find them all over the web
Was too lazy to look at that moment. Thanks...
Damn Tune, hope u didn't get screwed :getsome:
Did anyone check the XRC Mag? There is a how to "make spektrum build into M8". I just did that on mine.... NICE!

would this spektrum work or not?
do you have to have a specific radio or not?
how would you install it?

thanks, traxxas thrasher
I believe that's a handheld thing for you pit guy to monitor your car with while you race. Doesn't look like it need any specific radio to work.
tune any word yet?
well will it give me like my own channel that no one else is on?


also does it go where the channel crystal is?
