Hi del&Spartan,
I must admit I do like the look of the 9XR PRO :S . So what's it like? I'm so close to getting one BUT not sure as yet. I think it depends on what you two chaps and others say about it. I see that R.C.T. Aus, do them with tank firmware. Is this the way to go?? I think it's 185 us dollars. So not a bad price. Brian...

Hi Tom,
Yep I did see this one. But it's not on sale in the UK. I saw a review on it on another forum site that it is not legal in the UK!! something to do with power output. So was a bit confused plus it doesn't have an antenna wire so you have the mod it :crazy:. Brian...

That module does not have any antena because it uses the internal antenna of the turnigy 9xr pro, wich is inside that big handle. About if you can use or not in the UK, no idea, but I would buy it amnyway.

The stock turnigy 9x software its completelly different to the 9xr pro. The stock 9x software is pure shit and the 9xr pro is awesome.

Of course you can change the 9x software to a er9x but as I said many times around here you need an extra board or superfine soldering work in the radio.
