DX10 or MC20

[Lil Giants]

I'd have to say that the model match is a major plus! I have 3 models on at the same time regularly using just the DX18.

The DX9, had it been released a few yrs sooner would probably be all the radio I would ever need, but I have the DX18.

Yes me too, even though I'm just going to be using for 1 machine at the moment it would be nice to have that option. I'm guessing all the Graupner radio's will be the same?

Is the Spektrum really my only option for what I want?

Yes the mc32 has more channels, and a couple more controls as well(3 sliders in between the sticks). Fwiw I think I needed 14 channels for the 944, due to the split boom, two aux hydraulic ports, and lights. On the HOTT stuff you can get a multiswitch module which allows 1 channel to control 4/8 functions(reduced resolution, and response... Good for secondary functions)... Which might eliminate the need to go beyond the mc20.

I think other radios have similar functions to the model match...

Jeti may have model match...

with Graupner hott, you have to turn the model off, select a new model in the tx, turn the new model on... So you can still run two models, just a little bit more involved to switch between them.

It's not a huge problem for me as I run the excavator on the MC32 and the rest of the gear on spektrum.

If I ever get a second excavator, I will use the mc32, and accept the pain... I wouldn't be switching that much between the two machines...

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply, its a little disappointing to read about no model match being fitted to the Graupner. I could live with having to switch off models but it would be nice to be able to use say a dump truck or loading shovel working along side the excavator.
The Spektrum is looking like the better radio for me at the moment I would say
