Kyosho Perfex Tx

[Steve Godfrey]

I have a Kyosho Perfex Tx that I'd like to use instead of an Acoms I
have, what are the recommendations on using a Tx and Rx made by
different manufacturers?

Do Kyosho make their own Tx/RX or are they re-branded?

Thanks

I believe that is the transmitter that Kyosho packages with their Mini-Z's.
BEWARE,... that particular Tx has very limited range.
It's fine to run a Mini-Z with, but anything that is gonna be very far away
from you, may lose your Tx's signal.
I bought an extra Perfex transmitter, that I was gonna give to a friend to use
with his boat. I wanted to get him away from the stick radio that came with his
boat, and let him try a pistol style radio.
Upon conducting a radio-range check, there was not enough range to risk using
it with a boat. (When a BOAT dies on you, it's swimmin' time.)
BTW, I still have the Perfex TX new in package, if anyone needs one... email
me.

NO expert here, but I have switched crystals around with different
manufacturers Tx & Rx units, and had no problems. Some of the radio guru's that
frequent this board would be better to answer that one.

Not sure on that either.

Good Luck.

But doesn't the Perfex come with the Mad and Mega force??

OK, I checked... and you're right. Kyosho does package the Perfex with the Mad
and Megaforce. I would think the range should be good enough to run those
models.
Soooo... that brings to mind what could be the range problem. The Mini-Z MAY
NOT have a receiver capable of much range, compared to their other R/C's. It
is a tiny thing, compared to the average radio receiver.
I will conduct another radio *range-check* with the Perfex transmitter and a
REAL R/C receiver.
I will get back to you with the results.
If the range is acceptable... I may get some use out of it after all.
Thanks for the idea.

The perfex control was made by KO... The new version mini-z comes with a KO
made Tx, EX 7.
The perfex can fit with any AM receiver, and crystal range 27MHz ~29MHz.
If you want another better performance radio system, try Futaba Megatech
junior 2PHKA. Contact me for a new set price arround USD65 including
shipping cost.... (one pistol, one receiver and 2 servos, servo horns,
battery case, crystal set, instructions etc)
