Killer Bee V2 work with stock 2.4 Ghz radio?

[Loud72]

Will the killer bee v2 work with the stock Redcat 2.4 Ghz radio using a Y-adapter on one of the 2 channels or should I just get a 3 channel radio? I'm looking at the Airtronics MX3-Sport and the Spektrum DX3E which are the same price new versus a Futaba 3PM which is more expensive but is it worth it? I just ordered my Dune Runner and am trying to get everything I need in order to run in loose dirt....

I wish I could help with the killer bee question.


I will say the DX3Es thats ive used performed absolutely perfect and at $99 they are a steal!

I have never tested the redcat radio, so I can't say for sure.
But I do know that the HPI 2.4ghz radio will not work with any kill switches. Bummer. Hopefully the redcat radio is not the same.


I'll pay for the shipping if you want to send your radio to me and let me test it.


Thanks,


Kent

Congrats on your Dune Runner purchase Loud. I hope you have as much fun with it, as i have been having with my MT. The Rampage has impressed me from day one of ownership!....Good luck with your new D/R Loud!

Thank You lightning and Thank You Kent for personally responding to my question. I should receive the DR sometime this week. I will contact you once I have it. I am planning on upgrading the stock servos, air filter and clutch spring to start off and If the stock radio can be used than that's money I can use towards a good pipe.

Well I went ahead and bought the Killer Bee V2 and it seems to work with the stock DSC 2.4 Ghz radio.. Kinda sorta.... Seems kinda glitchy...More to come later as I break in my Dune Runner.....This thing is a huge beast!

Since day one in RC transmitter/receiver, all receiver work the same way till today, this is a standard PWM pulse to make the servo running.


Any kill switch should work with almost any radio/receiver combo, exept that if you have a built in fail safe, you need a kill switch programmed with a delay to stay ''OFF'' for a few second no matter if the fail safe kick in or not.


And finally, 2 or 3 channel, (w/wo delay) again this is different in the range of the input pwm they are programmed...........


I bought some basic pico swith with some 12F675 microcontroler chip and I make my own program to make it run on my two channel radio/receiver.


It can also be made with an old servo.
