Question about switching

[ronniemlrc]

This is probably a dumb question but here goes...

I have been out the hobby for a couple years and have a 9C.
It has some problems and I have lost 3 planes before I took a break and now today another one.

I am looking at the JR 9303 but I am having a brain fart...Will my futaba RX's work with a JR TX???

Right now I am only flying small planes and don;t know if I will return to the giant scale or not but I want to get a TX that will allow it if I do get back into it it full swing.
Thanks Guys

I also fly the 9c and love it nope cannot mix jr and fut on rx and tx

[ronniemlrc]

Thanks I thought as long as the channel was the same it would be ok. My 9c has just left a bad taste in my mouth so to speak.
No saying its all 9c's my no means, just mine.

jr and futaba rx's and tx's are not compatible , but their servos are.

[eagle1]

could send it back to Futaba and have them check it out, it might just be the module

[ronniemlrc]

HMMMM thats what I was afraid of. What about small RX's like Hitec electron 6? Surely they work with JR right?

[porcupineace]

you can use jr servos in a futaba rx, you can use futaba servos in a jr rx, but you cant mix the rx's and tx's....some of the guys help out here....?

[porcupineace]

not sure about hitec...i think theres issues with airtronics but not sure....you could question Horizon Hobbies..i think they distribute JR why not wait till the end of the month and get a new faast system for the 9c....no more crystals! and it will fit you 9c perfect....i just pre ordered three on Tower hobbie site...by the way ...i have a 9cap super

[eagle1]

like to retrack previous statement, went into the hobby room took crystal out of mine(FUTABA)put in my sons (JR) did not work sorry brain farts affect us all

Futaba and JR are a different "shift" and the RX's are not compatible. As for your 9c, why not just send it to Futaba for a check up? To me, it's a bit silly to buy a different, more expensive radio, with basically the identical functionality AND have to by all new, generally more expensive RX's as well. All for the sake of what? The grass is always greener....

shift was what i was thinking,thank you.And i was suggesting buying the system for 2.4 to make things easier on the guy...not a new radio system 9 c new=$500.00 or fasst system for 9c radio w/ rx =$319.00 and no more worries about what fits what, as well as less down time at the field with freq worries, thats all. Just a suggestion.

If you get the JR9303, you will love it.

I was referring to the 9303 being more expensive.

Not sure about Futaba and JR rx's but most of hitec's new recievers are switch selectable and you can select positive or negative by simply removing a little jumper.

Correction, there are only two rx's that will work with both shifts.

The seven channel one is the one with the jumper, while the 9 channel one looks as though it will switch automaticly.
