I upgraded to DSMX system because I wanted the extra safety that a DSMX radio provides over a DSM2 system. The DSM2 radio scans the band, picks 2 frequencies to use and then sends the data over those to channels to the receiver for the duration of the flight. While that is very nice, in a crowded environment you can have glitches (and unfortunately I've lost planes due to this). The DSMX system picks 10 free frequencies and splits the data over those during the life of the connection. This frequency hopping spread spectrum communication is about as reliable as possible with a RC system. Add to this the signal/antenna diversity you get by using the satellite antenna and you will have a very safe and secure connection with your flying craft.
This receiver is on I find works very well installed in 450 sized helicopters. The end connections work well due to the way 450 helis are laid out. This receiver is rated for park fliers and thus they don't claim the full normal distances for flying. I would use a larger receiver with a satellite for anything larger than a 450 helicopter. I've used this in several 450's without issue for some time now. I don't fly more than 150 yards away due to the size of the heli and the need to always see the orientation. If you are outfitting a larger helicopter or a plane that you would fly farther away than 150 years, I suggest you consider this receiver: Spektrum AR7010 7-Channel DSMX Receiver SPMAR7010
There are knock off DSM2 receivers which are ok to use in foamies and smaller planes, but for anything expensive that could kill someone if it hit them; I stick with the more secure and safe frequency hopping multi-channel systems.
One great benefit of using a DSMX transmitter is that it's also backward compatible with your DSM2 receivers, so they will continue to serve you until you can slowly upgrade the fleet to DSMX receivers.
5 stars, the DSMX system is very reliable and this receiver works great.
On the charger it says : Output: 8.4v DC 250mA. what does that mean? Am i suppose to divide 2000 by 250? The battery is NI-MH. Also i charged it up before using a friends smart charger so it's not the first time. But after the day of airsoft the battery wasn't dead yet, so i don't know how much is left. I heard i should just charge it until it gets warm? What should i do?
BalasHapusJust bought one and it didnt say how long to charge it for on the website. Anyone know?
BalasHapusim getting a air soft gun that comes with a 8.4v battery. i want a smart charger but cant find one for 8.4v do you know of one?
BalasHapusIm getting an echo1 mp5 and want to get a better battery for it... it comes with a 8.4v. 1500mAH battery but theres a really good deal on a 8.4v 3800 mAH battery... would using this battery damage my gun? could i use the charger that it came with to power the new battery?
