PRODUCT REVIEW >Radios >Futaba Mag JR

is one of the oldest manufacturers and certainly one of the best quality. This radio offers the most features and hits a price point that most modelers can justify.

We liked the features in this radio and consider it to be the bare minimum for Nitro R/C model boats. We find Servo reversing a must and really like Dual Rate Steering that allows you to simply increase or decrease the sensitivity of the steering travel of your model so you do not turn to sharp and spin out by accident at high speed. Automatic Travel Volume (ATV) allows you to adjust maximum travel of a servo to either side of its neutral position (great if you did not get the servo arm in the center upon assembly. And lastly End Point Adjustments (EPA) for steering and throttle. Yet another fine tuning feature to set your models idle or maximum travel points.

With the purchase of an additional receiver this radio's features allow it to easily be configured to operate another model boat or car.

Magnum Junior Radio Controller FEATURES include:
Rotary steering and throttle trims.
Two LED battery condition indicators.
Lightweight, ergonomic design reduces fatigue and improves control Red rubber grip at the fingertips. Servo reversing.
Dual Rate Steering (function allows you to limit adjustment of the steering travel of your model).
Automatic Travel Volume (ATV) allows user to adjust maximum travel of a servo to either side of its neutral position.
End Point Adjustments (EPA) for steering and throttle.

Important NOTES: This radio controller can not be converted to left handed use. This radio does not have a module. Transmitter current drain 250ma. Includes a charge jack for AA NiCad battery use. Dual Rate Steering adjustment is not made by the thumb wheel, it is found under the smoked glass panel on left side. This radio replaces the previous Futaba model, 2PCKA.
