Futaba 27Mhz to 2.4Ghz

Quote

Post by Miggers » Sun Apr 06, 2014 12:23 pm

I have a tidy old Futaba Attack R 2channel 27Mhz(bought new in 1987)that I'm
wondering if it can be converted to 2.4Ghz?

I know there are DIY sets out there,but they all seen to be used on 35 & 72Mhz PCM sets.

Has anyone had a go at doing one of the old 27Mhz sets?

did mine on a 27MHZ KO EXII set. Do some research first so that you will know what your getting into. Mine I used FRsky, should you go on that path, get the one with the telemetry as it has solved the servo Gitter problem. good luck.

you just need to know the PPM signal and your off.

Hi
I have a new old Futaba T2PHKA radio that draws an impressive 230mA from 8x batteries.
The radio includes a socket on the rear that looks like it should be for plug in 12V. That doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone know what the socket is for?

According to the manual, the transmitter needs a 12VDC supply.
Reducing the power supply reduces the measured RF output.

Alkaline batteries have a higher voltage than equivalent nicd and nimh cells. The charger is designed around it's intended...

I'm thinking to upgrade and replace my +20 year old Futaba 1024 radio, and get me a Futaba 4GRS 2.4Ghz. With a new radio you need (at least I do :mrgreen:) a handful of extra receivers to your runners. Futaba receivers cost around $70-80, which...

I found a 2 channel Futaba receiver FPR202GF that cost under $40. The thing is I have only found the receiver at the Swedish importer MiniCars and nothing at Futabarc.com. Well, I don't think the Swedish importer MiniCars is unique, there must be...

Alright it works, I pieced together an RC10L ss (which some may have noted is in the bay) and it works with no issues. I used a standard Futaba Servo and the Tekin 412p. Car ran no issues, the range was what is to be expected at the track, I did not...

Hi fellow vintage radio nutters.
I have a 1024 handset which I would like to convert over to 2.4 spread spektrum. I have plenty of Spektrum receivers and wanted to find out if there's a way to use a Spektrum module for this radio?

Last post

Anyone no if this will work with old Futaba 1024?

The only radio I've ever used to drive R/C cars is my first transmitter -- a Futaba FP-T3FG silver wheel that I got around 1982, with my first real R/C car (a Tamiya Sand Scorcher). I still use it today to drive my (now heavily modified) Edinger...
