Spectra 75

Synthesizer Module

Managing those pesky radio crystals is now 50 percent easier thanks to Hitec. The new Spectra 75 module for the Lynx 3D FM radio doesn't use a crystal; instead, it synthesizes the frequency! Two numbered dials are easily set to match your receiver frequency; it's that simple. Once the module has been installed, the dials are protected from accidental setting changes.

There doesn't seem to be much GXI left in the GX1R! The old singlebelt/dual-gearbox setup has been replaced by dual belts. CEN claims the production racer will probably look quite a bit different from this mock-up, but the basic features should stay in place; here's what to expect:

Ball difs and one-way front pulley.

Titanium tumbuckles.

Full bearings.

Carbon-fiber double-deck chassis

and shock towers.
