Ar7100

Anyone know anything about the spektrum Ar7100?
Looks like its a 7 channel Rx, voltage regulator and a head speed governor all in one! All for 80 quid? Sounds a bit too good to be true!
Anyone got and experience or opinions?

Stubz,that receiver is awesome.
I use them on my nitros and it's basically a rev limiter that's built in and works much better than a govenor.
It is designed for running 8 volt servos and has a regulator built in on the throttle,rudder and gear channels.
It usually costs around £140 at most places and the version you want is the 7100R.The R version is the rev limiter,and the non R version is without.
When you plug a lipo into it your cyclic servo's will be ran at 8.4 volts,so you will still need an inline regulator.
On my 600LE I use the Perfect regulators 6.5V version.See here.

That regulator is designed for the 7100R and makes for a very clean uncluttered wiring job.

So Stubz,if it's the R version you've found for £80 please share where you found it.Pretty please.

Cheers for the Info Danny Boy - Ar7000 for £80, Ar7100R £119 at Probuild - BUT - Just seen the sneaky SOB's are advertising their prices before VAT so with VAT they come in at £96 and £142.80 respectively.
Dont get too excited!

Ahh,well I did get excited for a minute there.
I think Andy found somewhere doing them cheaper than £140 but I can't remember where or how much.
Are you out there Big Perm?

I think he's gone to ground for a bit hasn't looged on since 12th March

I thought I hadn't spotted him for a while.
The term "Conspicuous by his absence" springs to mind.
Not sure if that's spelt right.

I belive he is on Holiday

He'd better bring us all a stick or rock or there will be trouble!

Lol or a bunch of bananas.

Morning Morning. Been on my holeebops

I've got a 7100r in my 700, and it is a mighty fine little thing. I bought mine from Fastlad in the end, not quite the cheapest out there, but only a couple of quid more than the cheapest price I could find (which was from some internet only shop I had never heard of, nor did they give any address details in their contact infom, so I steered well clear)......

I've got one stick of rock for you lot to share too. Although I am tempted to have a nibble now....
