That's a good choice for a transmitter congrats bro!

Thanks brotha

Uh Oh! He done got the big dog M17!! Let’s get it 💪🏾💯

Yes sir, trying to catch up with you

The Cadillac of radios man👍🏼

That’s what I hear

[@NitroFreak]

great vid bro and good idea you putting out race dates i wanna race as much as i can but i doent know all the tracks like u do and when they running so that would definatly help allot of peopple bro great vid keep it going bro

[@rajaa111]

Thanks brotha, yeah I see alot of people just don't know where the races or tracks are at in their area so hopefully this will help

[@justingeorge6136]

Have you tried the wireless charger MOD?

[@chiconmy1515]

Rajaa what do you think of the scuderia 721 engine?

[@rajaa111]

Great engine, I have the 1st generation never had a problem

[@llamatech546]

Nice I love the sanwa m17 I don't have 1 I run flysky but I used a few of them but they good

[@rajaa111]

Thanks fly sky are nice specially when your on a budget

[@llamatech546]

Yeah I have a fs gt2b I was on a budget when I got it but im definitely not changing it it just works perfectly and the grips are good but im glad you got a chance because you can't stick with the same thing forever

[@D70racing]

Nice job bro. Great looking radio, I just got one too. Christmas gift to myself 😀 If you didn’t already know you can use that thumb wheel knob up on the front right edge of radio if touchscreen is an issue. Also the lanyard bracket I had to use that foam they give otherwise it rattled around to much. That’s one small thing I wish they did better. My mt44 was way better for that. But it’s minor. The battery, and maybe CJ had more experience with this, but I’m trying to decide between the stock one or upgraded version Lipo. The battery tray is screwed on vs just slip off like the others. Allowing you to charge without removing battery, and also utilizing wireless charging. But I haven’t been able to use the radio yet being winter here. Great idea about promoting races from all across the country. That’s a great service to the hobby bro. Peace

[@rajaa111]

My man, thanks brotha, I haven’t heard of any issues with the upgraded lipo battery cj uses it all the time and he has no complaints says it last forever, I feel you on the winter cold we freeze here also but I will be getting some track time soon with the radio and will give a update on how it was

[@CJ220_GBR]

Brotha, definitely get the upgraded battery. The battery cover is not loose so I don’t use the screw and it stays on no issues. I even took a spill down in FL with the radio in hand and battery cover didn’t move. On a three day race weekend I’ll charge the 5500 (upgrade battery) the night before I’ll use all practice day and qualifying day and then top it off that 2nd night for mains day. Don’t even think I’d have to but better safe then sorry. And that’s running 2 cars for those days. So with it lasting that long I don’t mind having to take it out when I do charge it.

[@D70racing]

@@CJ220_GBR thanks for that CJ I appreciate it.

I kept blowing or shorting out receivers, the radio was great never a problem there, just got tired of replacing receivers

@@rajaa111 which ones where you using? I've been using r304sb an the r304sb-e for ebug. It has no antenna. But I'll had the first two for over a year or so. No problems, never heard anyone have problems with futaba. We're yours not HV rated? Coulda been the problem. But anyway , looking forward to seeing u at phil hurd bro

[@916vp]

Nice. What was you using before and what trigger the upgrade?

[@rajaa111]

Was using the futaba 4pm, great radio but I kept blowing receivers.

[@916vp]

@@rajaa111 really? I just got the 4pm. Should I be worried about blowing receiver?

[@rajaa111]

No there’s plenty of people that have no problems with the futaba receivers

[@916vp]

Did you have your setting on the futaba on t-fhss high speed instead of normal? I just read that high speed options is only for futaba brushless servo only and may cause damage to the servo. Could that be the reason your receiver blowing out?

[@rajaa111]

@@916vp yes they were on normal, I read about that also, but I always ran brushless digital servos and no matter what setting it was on the receivers would still go out

[@keithkamps77]

What remote were you rocking before and why did you switch?

[@rajaa111]

I was using the futaba 4pm

[@rubberducki0406]

Not a screen protector for use, screen protector for assembly and package protection. Peel that off, its satisfying.

[@rajaa111]

That one I took off, they give you one like a cell phone screen saver, you apply it just like the cell phone one
