just got it today, in time for a track day!
initial impressions are good. the steering grip feels good and all the switches and buttons are fine, no rattling parts.
i understand why it s called the iw led controller, that blue led burns right into your retina as you try to look at the lcd screen! i put some tape over it, you know it s on by looking at the screen.
the front of the trigger was a little rough from the moulding and was hurting my finger after a while. i just slid some heatshrink over it and it s smooth and not so scratchy.
you definately need to read the manual before operating if you re new to anything more sophisticated than a normal iw tx or kyosho tx. but once you do it s not too hard to understand all the features and how to use them.
so far i ve used it with my zz monster with iw pcb and my xmod with iw pcb. once i programmed separate models for each car using it was no more confusing than a normal iw tx. range seems as good as if not better than the old model.
then i remembered that i used to run my 29mhz 1:10 with my old iw tx so i popped the 29mhz crystal in the new tx and it worked fine! not quite as well as the proper 29mhz tx but good enough for me to be able to ditch all my other tx s and just use this one. i will eventually get a 27mhz rx for it to tidy things up.now we all know this has the look and function of a futaba 3ch fm tx but is a 2 ch am deal. but there s a switch next to the edit buttons that seems connected. i got to hook up with microamps today and he pointed out that in the manual it states “modulation format: ppm 3 channel”. i don t have a 3ch rx to test it out but i say it s worth a shot. if this turns out to be a 3ch tx we ll all be laughing!
so i will now use this as my number 1 tx for all my rc s that can work with it. in the end i payed AUD$60 (about $45 – 50 usd) for an impressive tx:):8ball:
