Futaba 2.4 systems are bullet proof in the air and on the surface.

i have been using the airtronics m11 and i plan on going to the m11 x next yr if all works out.

just stinks buying a new radio.. by the time you get all the recivers you need it is 1000.00

but either the futaba or airtronics is good stuff

Like Ron said,

I've ran nothing but Futaba equipment and never had any issues. I switched over to the FASST system in 2009 and have had the same results.......it works very well.

Futaba FASST is the most proven 2.4 system for the water. I have a 3PKS FASST.

If you get the 3PM 2.4...a good receiver to get is the R603FS... It's like the R603FF but has two antennas!

All good advise.. Follow what the rest say.. no better radio then what the public is saying!

When it comes to radios you dont want to "reach for the stars".. and say.. I aint got it!..

I went to a race this year.. and i saw lots of that.. they wernt Futaba.. and thats all I will say.... h34r:

I use this.. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXSNN8&P=7 in my hydros

and this .. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXTHR6&P=ML in my tunnels

All with either the 603ff or 603fs.. (I can not tell the dif between the two)

Just make it a Futaba FASST and your good to go.

[HOTWATER]

Grim, You should come to one of the Dist. 12 races next season...that would be a blast!! IMO the guys that race in that Dist. are some of the best!! I'm sure you know most of them! Metime needs to be at one of them as well bro! Just a thought for you....
