2.4ghz systems

[DISAR]

I believe many of us have upgraded their control systems to 2.4 ghz. As I have read, the Furuno 3PM is successful, the Spectrum so so.. Has anybody used any other system with successful results? There are some chinese ones (30-50$) and just wondering...

[DISAR]

This one is at 50$

don't know if it's worth the money?

[Ub Hauled]

the one that you can buy from AQ seems reliable to me, I have used it once and have friends that use it all of the time w/o a hitch... it's VERY cheap as well. you can find it at Towerhobbies and here (in a few days).

Im looking to get a 2.4 system also, on the cheap I hope.

How do you use that strange aircraft style for the boats?

[Ub Hauled]

left stick = throttle
right stick = rudder

usually when they are made for ground, then the left stick
does not go side to side and the right stick does not go up or down.

Good Morning,
Are either of these ground frequency? Also, does anyone have exp. with them??

If so can you share that with me.
I am much better at driving with a stick as it goes back to my younger years in boats before wheels. Plus I am left handed and would need one I can switch the sticks on.

Curt, I am not sure how it works w/ the 2.4g realm... they are all 2.4! i have never heard of these
radios before, but one thing is for sure, one way or another, you get what you pay for... there are cheap radios and CHEAP radios if you get the drift.
You'll need a mode 1 stick (instead a mode 2) the sticks are reversed.
I believe in mode 2 the throttle is on the left and steering on the right,
mode 1 would be the opposite.

Ok well who makes a good stick ground 2.4 system.

From AQ you mean the one at 30$ or the one at 50$?
For the one from hobbycity they say in their discussion
Mode 1 throttle on the right,
Mode 2 throttle on the left.

A good "traditional' 2.4 ghz is the futaba 6EX which works well in boats. It has six channels. This one

As far as I know the good thing with 2.4 ghz is that you can never have any interference from ohers

I read that site data on the above system and it says it is an airplane not ground system.

2.4 ghz is used in ground and air applications. Unlike FM and AM frequencies

So if I hear you correctly, a plane and a car could be operated side by side

I don't understand that!

27 mhz AM = ground and air
72mhz AM and FM= Air
75Mhz AM and FM = ground
2.4G = ground and air
