<P>I just got the X9309 and promptly opened it up to change the spring tension.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>To answer my own questions below.....</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Unlike Futaba, (9C) there is no conformal coating on any of the PWBs. I would be concerned about powering up the Tx in cold conditions after leaving a warm vehicle. Also, again unlike Futaba (9C), there was not a sign of lube on any of the Gimbals. The wire runs are a little awkward with wires from two switches at the top of the radio being pinched by the bosses for the screws that hold the case together.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>It looks like these are put together pretty quickly with not much time for extras like lubrication/protection for the gimbals. I know that most short term consumer electronics are not CC'd but I would not have expected that of a $700 product.<BR><BR>--- On <B>Fri, 4/18/08, colin chariandy <I><cchariandy@yahoo.ca></I></B> wrote:<BR></P>

<DIV>I don't want to start a JR vs Futaba war but I've been looking for a 2.4GHz, 2048 radio system and find the 9309 priced way below the closest Futaba radio offering those features, the 12FG. Now I agree that the Futaba is a 12 channel compared to 9 channels of the X9309 but is that worth $600?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What am I missing?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What quality items are not included in the JR radio?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Some have said that the gimbals in the 9309 are not very good.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm trying to decide before the "free reciver" deal runs out at the end of the month so any help is appreaciated.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
<DIV>Colin.</DIV>
