JR
Quattro FM System - 4 Channels
This
is a great, low-cost radio control solution for robot or other
Radio-controlled vehicles.
When
you first pick up the Quattro Radio System, you may immediately
recognize the look and feel of the radio engineered by JR. This
transmitter features an easy-to-read three-color LED battery voltage
indicator that lets you know at a glance if it's safe to run your
machine or if you need to recharge. The Quattro's servo reversing
switches for all four channels are located beneath the rechargeable
transmitter pack, so you can't accidentally flip them. To better
suit your driving/flying style, the Quattro even comes with an
adjustable stick length.
Other
Quattro standard features include a trainer system which is compatible
with all JR brand radios, fully re-chargable NiCds, a carrying
handle, and a neck strap eyelet. You know you'll be driving your
vehicle with proven electronics with the included R700 7-channel
receiver (considerably
smaller than equivalent other 7 channel receivers!). A 600mAh
NiCd receiver pack, mini switch harness, preinstalled crystals,
and dual output transmitter/receiver overnight wall charger make
up the rest of the system components. 4 servos also come with the
72Mhz aircraft frequency system.
Finally,
there is a quality alternative to budget branded 4-channel radio
systems -- The Quattro!
Please
note that this is an FM control system (not PCM), and by BattleBots
rules, is legal for use in the Lightweight division only. Make
sure to verify other event rules to ensure that FM is legal (in
most cases, you won't have a problem). If you're looking to build
a larger bot, or want the increased range and features of PCM,
you should check out the Futaba 7CAP.
