Hi all,
Friend and I have a pair of HPI Trophy 3.5 with AM 27hz radios. We both experience a jittery steering and servo problem from time to time, most days its fine, and we never actually do anything to resolve the problem, other than leave it off a day. Now my first thought is static or interferences, but I remove all batteries fairly promptly from RX when it happens, and no matter the charge, or how long they have been outside the RX, still happens on days it wants to happen on.
Now it never seems to have happened with both of us at the same time, so interference is possible, but we are on similar bands. Also if I am out bashing and it happens, then when I get home (3-4 miles away) its same symptoms. So my troubleshooting suggests either tx or rx issue, perhaps something internal to the parts is loose or dirty. I made sure not to move the car at all last night, and plugged battery in to rx this morning and it steers fairly well.
SOOOO, to the point, I am thinking of replacing the whole radio set with 2.4ghz to hopefully reduce conflict at tracks, as well as sort this weird radio problem out. Any suggestions at some different price points? What kind of money should I spend for something that is decent at entry level price point? Also mid priced? I am not pro, so no need to suggest best of the best, just don't have the money for it.
any help would be appreciated.
