If you are ready to move up to a more powerful RC car or boat, you are going to need a great radio to go with this model. Hence the reason why we wrote this blog post to review and compare some of the best radios for intermediate-level models in order to help you find the one that is best for you.
What to Look For In Your First Surface RC Radio
When buying your first surface radio, there are two things we suggest you take into account in order to make the best purchase. Firstly, make sure that the radio you are looking at is compatible with the car or boat you want to drive. Different models use different receivers, so it is important to check what frequency the radio and receiver use (for example, DSM or DSMR). Secondly, think about the number of channels your transmitter will require. Generally speaking, 2 channels should

February 04, 2013 37We are very pleased to announce an exciting competition that Chuck T. Seeker is running in conjunction with Modelflight. Chuck recently reached an momentus milestone on his YouTube channel - a total of 1 million video views. Needless to say, we are thrilled for Chuck and as such, we decided to help him celebrate by working with him to give you the chance to wine one of two Spektrum DX7S transmitters. These transmitters are fantastic. They come with 20-model memory, built-in telemetry and extensive programming options for your RC plane and/or heli.

How do you place your remote receivers in your model when using Spektrum™ or JR® DSM®technology? We walk you through the tricks of the trade to show you a good place to start for better placement in your model. We show installations in both an all composite 94” span P-47 and a large balsa and plywood DV8R turbine jet. These two installations cover the two main material bases used in model construction. We discuss basic receivers with one remote as well as the extreme PowerSafe

In this exciting new release from Spektrum; STi (Spektrum Telemetry Interface) TR1000 lets you transmit vital information from your model’s on-board Spektrum telemetry module to your iPhone, iPad or iTouch. It can also be programmed to alert you when any telemetry value you are monitoring exceeds limits you define. It’s a great way to let a flying buddy watch model functions for you so you can focus more on flying and less on your transmitter display.
The STi is compatible with all DSM2/DSMX Spektrum and -
March 22, 2011 42Bringing Budget-Friendly Computer Radios to the Masses Spektrum has certainly brought a number of innovative features to RC'ers over the years. From the original DSM add-on module systems that freed people from frequency control and interference to the DX3 which introduced us to the first all-in-one Spektrum radio system. Spektrum has taken another leap forward in recent years with advancements like ModelMatch, DSM2 and Marine Technology. The time has come to bring these advanced features to the entry level crowd, all while mixing in a 20-model memory, computerized operation, exponential rates and much more. The result is the amazing DX3C which has

February 15, 2011 19Spektrum continue to push the boundry's of RC technology with the latest add-on for all DSM2 2.4 users. As we have continued to use 2.4 technology for the past 4 years, we have found out things we never though possible. Only a few years ago we found ourselves at large events with 6 or 7 flight lines and checking transmitters out of an impound. Today impounds are gone. Some flight lines now see more than 35 pilots flying at one time, and with more and more 2.4 radios turned on in the pits with modelers working out any bugs they have with their models. The new mega events like IRCHA, Joe Nall and SEFF have brought a new frequency-agile protocol to life for any Spektrum or JR 2.4 users. This new protocol named DSMX delivers an even stronger signal to our end user. An add-on for the more traveling modeler, we discuss with Chris Huhn exactly what this is all about. This new protocol is something that is built for a select few who travel outbound to these larger events and may not be necessary
