I am contemplating replacing the clubs training scheme Spektrum radio gear with newer equipment of similar or better capabilities.
I currently favour the Futaba T6K transmitter and associated R3006SB Rx. The transmitter is very clean looking with an internal antenna, is quite simple to program and has adequate model storage (30) for all our training needs, and is competitively priced. If anyone has any experience with this kit I would be very interested in their views?
The current Spektrum Tx' will be retained to act as buddy boxes for club members who have compatible Tx's and are training using their own models.

Hi John, Xjet has a review here:



He mentions that it lacks a spring loaded trainer switch!

Does the TK6 offer Wi-Fi connectivity? The absence of a trip wire does look like a considerable benefit of the Spectrum buddy box system.

A shame, that makes it redundant when it comes to training - anyone else have any training favourites (easy to use, easy to program, robust, and a sensible price) ?

Worth a look

That's more like it thanks Chris, proper battery pack instead of single cells and DMMS technology.
For a similar price I also like the equivalent Futaba offering T8J ...
