Default JR9303 FM w/ Spektrum 2.4 module

Hi,
Is the JR9303 FM rx with the Spektrum 2.4 module as good as the new 'native 2.4' 9303?

Basically, am I losing anything in response time, features, dependability,etc by going with the module system vs the new 'built-in 2.4"?

Thanks!
KEN

Built in 2.4 is the slightest bit faster. Most people won't notice, but some will. I noticed the difference going between my 10X with a 2.4 module to my 12X. I believe all the features other than that are the same.

Oh, and I forgot. The 9303 with the 2.4 module does not have Model Match like the built up 2.4 9303 does.

I have heard a rumor that there is a company in business somewhere that will install the Spektrum module in your 9303 with no rattles, install an antenna in the correct position on top of the transmitter, and conceal that ugly wire. Is there any substance to this rumor or is it just a rumor? Regards to all!

It is only cosmetic. I dont think its worth doing since it will void your warranty.

It is only cosmetic but I have a JR 10x with a spektrum module and some how cut the cable from the antenna to the module. I didn't even notice it until I lost a plane over it.

I would like to have the cable concealed in my transmitter if it is possible.

Here is a link that shows you how to convert your module to have the cable be internal. If you read through the posts they found that the Blade CX2 antenna works great here is a link to the antenna.
