Futaba gets in the 2.4Ghz game

[jbajkor]

Found this on another BBS:
2.4gigahertz.com/

All the manufacturers are introducing low end radios. Would be nice if Futaba made the 9C, 9Z, 12Z, and 14MZ spread spectrum.

It would be nicer if I could just change the module on my 9C, and buy a new reciever

There is an aftermarket one in the works. They will have module and Rx for high end JR and Futaba. Check it out.... www.xtremepowersystems.net/xtremelink.php
I don't see a date for availability, but it looks good.

That does look good Joe, and the price looks reasonable.
I will wait to see how they are for performance and reliability, but down the road I will likely get one.

Good find Ron,
Spectrum is going in the right direction but, why would I put an 8ch module in a 12Z? I am seriously looking at the 12Z, would have bought one already if this 2.4Ghz stuff didn't muddy the waters.... so to speak.

It is early in the game. I am hoping the 12Z will eventually be offered as a FASST system from Futaba.
