Indie Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yes but....does it work? I no doubt it'll work as they can't really sell something that doesn't. However if build quality is a issue I'd go with the the Futaba or the Spekky set. As someones said before you get what you pay for.

hunter Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 hello right I have had time to mess about with it now I was a bit over the top earlier the build quality is not as good as a speky but its only half the price but the steering wheel is still a bit of concern will have to see how it holds up had a quick go over the crickrt field and it workrd ok the car was about 250ft away and had no problems.so it seems ok for now .I tend to be a bit rough with my transmitters they get chuckrd all over so we'll see if its still working in a week or two lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy_n Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 cant be that bad............ can it to be honest i think the spekky dx3 feels really cheap and nasty dont htink it would take well to being dropped to many times jsut my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyLad Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 The receivers are fairly cheap as well. £26.59 here ==> clicky If you have a few cars, looks like a really cheap way of going to 2.4GHz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny-B- Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Those pics look ok, im still very tempted to buy this To me it looks worth the 59.99 Edited January 16, 2008 by Danny-B- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
