Newbie Question analog and digital

[hobbsa23]

I was looking to buy the spektrum DX3C and swap it out with the stocker. Is the servo on the XBE analog or digital? Or would i have to swap out the servo and get the Hitec 5755 347oz? Basically what im asking is can digital devices be used interchangeably with analog devices?

The DX3C should have an option to switch from analog and digital. I'm not certain, but I would say the servo on the XBE is analog. We'll have to find out. I know if you run your tx set up for digital and have analog servos, they won't last.

I see alot of guys on the weekend running analog servos with Spektrum systems. Where I run pretty much everybody is using one of the DX3 series. You may want to check out this thread before purchasing your Spektrum though:

Since you have that transmitter by flysky with the blue lcd screen like the link above, do you recommend it over the spektrum?

Nope, but I recommend Futaba over Spektrum.

Why don't you recommend the Flysky transmitter?

 

[csp1971]

FS is as good as the Futaba. Spektrum sucks, if you get one, enjoy your glitching and short range. I own all three. If something is as good as something else, why pay 5 times more?

Remember the Vorza? It kept glitching. It seems that if the tx batteries aren't at full charge, it's not very reliable. There's a reason why things cost as much as they do.


If you feel comfortable using a 35 dollar tx on your 700+ dollar rc, then that's how you run.

I think that $35 radio shows what you can get for your money. I've been using it with no problems. $7 receivers!!! Outta box it lacks a few things, but functions fine. Great range. I roughly measured about 700 feet. There's a huge thread on another forum about it and one guy made custom firmware for it which transforms it into a really nice tx.


Almost $500 for a 4PKS and $90 for receivers...come on! What you think it cost to make that?


If this radio will do what I need it to then I'll keep using it.


Just my opinion. I'm not telling anyone they have to buy it

Buy what you can afford. Forget the name. Brand loyalty is for the birds. I have a Spektrum system and it's flawless. Same with my Airtronics and Futaba systems.
