Re: Eagle new radios
If it's the FS-i6, it's a P.O.S.! I just bought one, for my KH, & have issues with it. Brand new batteries in it, take it out to run, & the low battery alarm goes off while running, & activates the failsafe. Soon as I let off the throttle the tiniest bit, (Still in 3Rd gear) The throttle slams almost full power to the unit, as low voltage alarms stopped going off. Battery voltage was reading 5.9V, according to the built in meter on the radio seconds before, & immediately after alarm stopped sounding . I thought I'd be a tight @ss & buy this thing, rather then a QUALITY radio. IDK for sure where it is, but I know there is something stripped out in the Tamiya King Hauler now. It makes horrible sounds when I try to ease the throttle up. I'm so disgusted right now, I just sat it back on it's shelf, & walked away.
Lesson learned! Now I have to get a nice new radio. I think I'll go with the Spektrum DX6. I have a DX4, & love it for other models I have. It works well for steer, & throttle applications, with on board audio that has a horn option, but not so good for the KH. The 3rd, & 4th channels, that I'm aware of, isn't a way to precisely control them. I'd either ONLY have 2, of the 3 speeds to work with.
