    2.4 Ghz radio is 4 channels

    There was a debate about how many channels the new B/L edition Revo's radio would have.
    Look here:

    Rx is 4 channel, but I can't find anything on how many channels the Tx has. It looks like it is only 2 channel. . .

    So where do you see anything about how many channels the transmitter has?

    It lists the receiver as 4 channels, but that doesnt mean the transmitter has 4 channels as well.

    Look at the pictures of the transmitter that is coming with the BL E-revo. Notice there isnt a red thumb rocker on there? Thats because in order to add a two-speed, you'll need to upgrade your transmitter. Marketing 101 = sell more product.
    be nice.

    The TQ4 that comes with the summit is 4 channels, Rx and Tx..

    The 2.4 Ghz the comes with the Revo is 4 channel Rx and 2 Channel Tx.. It's that way incase you want to use a different Tx but keep the stock Rx.

    The Summit Tx & Rx are 4 channel, but they are 27mhz, not 2.4ghz. Incompatible. A 4 channel 2.4ghz Rx is useless without a 4 channel Tx, so maybe one is in the works.

    Apperetly we have 3channels....



    but this is different from the one thats comming with this E-revo.

    1Cause the current E-revos out now,have stock 1gearing only.so the need to shift is gone,making the TX 2channel,if you need a 3channel TX there you go,2.4GHZ 3channel (there isn't a 4channel TX,cause the RX is really 3channel, reason why is the duel 1channels..)

    O btw the annetena is Big,not short like other DSM are.

    ok, I goofed.
    I'm just so wide-eyed at the whole thing, kinda hard to decipher it all. Thanks for clearing that up....

    2206 is the part number. I think it's like 200 something dollars. That's the same price as a 3PM FASST with less features.
