Madmini Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Hi guys. With my first grown up quad on its way I am in need on transmitter advice. I was looking at the flysky th9 range but as I don't really know what I need I thought I would throw the question to you guys... What tx/rx bundle should I get. Please bear in mind I'm on a tight budget so the cheaper the better. That being said I don't want to fin I need a better one in 12months like I did with my ground based radio gear. My quad is Comming with an orange dsm2 rx but I don't mind replacing it. Thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samshirley001 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I run a turnigy 9XR, want to get the orangeRX 1w 433mhz system for it for >5 mile rangethe 9xr is probably the best value for money transmitter on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmini Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 So in looking at a mode 2 9xr (typical its on backorder at hk uk) what module do I need? For an orange rx? Or do I not need a module at all? Quad arrived today with 2 broken props that I ordered replacement for. Can't wait to get it in the air. Need to sort 1, transmitter 2, batteries That gets it airborn After that it's something to view the data from the camera But that's additional expense I can't afford right now.

Madmini Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Ordered some batteries this morning so I'm getting closer. Radio is still on backorder. Do I need a module for the radio? It's not clear if I do or not looking at the info on hobbykings site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothybb Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Err, isn't there a clue in the description?? The 9xr's don't come with module so if you want to use orange kit you'll need one of these I think: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__24656__OrangeRX_DSMX_DSM2_Compatible_2_4Ghz_Transmitter_Module_JR_Turnigy_compatible_.html Which warehouse have you gone for? The mode 2 is available in euro wh but the module is international only so might as well order both from there as in stock.
