Garry Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 Thats because they reused the pic from the 27mhz version, but its the same internal CPU and menu/functions between the 27mhz and 2.4ghz versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Terminator Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Carl, Was there a big difference with MX3 being 2.4GHz from a 27MHz system (crystal inconvenience set aside) ? Thing is that I got a Sanwa/Perfex KT14 with my ST-S (which I'll let my wife and son run) and now I'm putting together another one that needs a radio. I think the radio is great, comfortable and easy to program. A new KT14 goes cheap on E-bay, I think I'd prefer a good/proven 27MHz before a low end 2.4GHz. Peter No difference at all matey apart from the frequency and antenna style.I had the KT14 and it never let me down once,great radio and they feel great in the hand,thats why I got it,already had the 40mhz FM version,which I still have as its part of my Genesis LE setup which come as standard. Like i've said before,the Ansmann is no Sanwa inside,more like the cheap Skyrion radios electronically speaking,the case is the only thing that resembles the Sanwa,I know Sanwa only make radios for Kyosho and their sister company is Airtronics which is a US branding and the one I have with the Genesis.Saying all this,for the money,the Ansmann radio isn't that bad of a deal,if it performs well and has good range,for a budget 3 channel radio I dont think you could go far wrong...

Rover Man Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Why in the last pic has it got a standard telescopic Ariel fitted ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiM! Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Why in the last pic has it got a standard telescopic Ariel fitted ???? Its just showing the display, as it uses the same one as the "old style" transmitter this is based on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calum101 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 First inpressions are it seems good quality. The manual is utter rubbish though, doesn't explain how to bind the TX to the RX and says I need to use FM Xtals, and there is an Xtal bit on the TX but not on the RX I suppose it will just be the same as Acoms to bind?

ben_rc Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Wait, its a 2.4Ghz radio, but with Xtals? Huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calum101 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Wait, its a 2.4Ghz radio, but with Xtals? Huh? Haven't got a clue but in the manual it says use FM Xtals, the TX has a bit for the Xtals to go in but the RX doesn't, apart from that it is clearly 2.4ghz.

JODmeister Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 It sure does, any report on the thing is good. Thanks! Just bought x2 of these nice units. Problem is one receiver not working properly as the throttle would not work only brake. Took it back to modelsport today and got back home.....bugger....have had to set the throttle/brake to reverse and working the wrong way round. Shane about the 3rd channel as won't switch lights on and off anly does reverse function. Will see about range tomorrow and general operation. JOD.

dannyboy15 Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 any more news? im looking to upgrade to 2.4GHz i was looking at the Acoms 2.4Ghz 2ch untill i saw this one what one is best? i only use at my local club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Terminator Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Quite a few forum members have the W3 now,not many issues with them,they work great,a little power hungry over other sets but thats not really an issue if you get some high capacity NiMh AA's,a good price too,probably the best low cost 3 channel set available,much better quality than the Acoms although if you get a good Acoms,they're not a bad set in themselves,the one I had worked flawlessly....
