Futaba R617FS 7-Channel 2.4GHz FASST Rx (Genuine)

 Davide79 64 points

Ric search in the official futaba site and looking the rx....it's the same of this. It's original but manifactured in china.

Yes it does I have 2 of these in my Planes

 Davide79 64 points

Yes work with every fasst radio. I used in my 8tfgsuper in 7chmode.

 Aefer 238 points

The 8ch Orange FASST compatible Rx works good. It is a bit bulky for parkflyers with limited storage area though.

I would always go for the genuine product for superior range and reliability

 david 8 points

The range is reckoned to be at least a mile, It will certainly be beyond the range of your eyesight. A model, even a large one soon gets very small at any distance. I have flown large gliders until they have become an infinitesimal dot in the sky, so far that it's extremely difficult to orientate which way they are flying but radio range has never been an issue. I would always prefer to use a genuine Futaba component. In over 30 years of Futaba use I've never had any problems, they are a byword

I have three Futaba r617fs seven channel receivers,two on park flyers and one on a 60 size trainer and they are very good with no range problems. Wouldn't risk a good plane on an orange as a few fliers at our club have had problems while using Orange recievers.

Hello. I have tested this RX. It works at about 2.3kM in full broadcast power (FUTABA NON FRENCH). This is also true for the FM version of this particular receiver which also works up to 2.6kM. The OrangeRX will work up to 1.2kM tested. All tests done near a golf course with few houses nearby and FPV gear * 1.2GHZ with lowpass filters :) Be well :)

and i want ask , my radio is JR XG8 , did you know how long the range for JR XG8 ? with RG831B rx? thankyou

 zSimon 30 points

on RCGroups and various discussion board you will see that JR will usually come close to the range of Futaba but will glitch (BROWN OUT) from a certain point onward. Just beware of that.

2km and you see your plane a micro bee....this work very well!

dificil dizer o qual é seu problema,jogaria por baixa carga no seu transmissor mas duas vezes é demais,amigo tenho três desses e nunca me deixou a desejar,sugiro voce procurar uma assistencia tecnica.boa sorte.

I have a lot of these little recievers and I never had problems like yours... But I think that you should have care of the position of the two little antennas! The terminals (the semitransparent ones) must be as much as possible far from carbon and metal objects! The antennas also should be placed to form a 90 degrees angle... Try this and let me know!! :)

 Hammy11 50 points

Thanks for the tip, but I have been aware of keeping the antennas away from metal etc. I have also placed the antennas to form 90 degrees angle like the manual shows. But still I had this problem. Contacted a rcstore for possible repairs on the radio but this was really expensive so I will rather bye a new radio:)

 madruga 89 points

this problem can was caused for bec Hobbyking SS. try replace your esc. best fly!!!!

 Hammy11 50 points

I just found that the problem was caused by some loose contacts inside the tx. So it had nothing to do with the reciever. I fixed the tx, and now it works fine. Glad i found out, but too bad I lost my big scale cessna because of it. Thanks for all response!

i don't think the Rx cares what the servos are. the battery will though as they suck more power.

 Colt1873 167 points

I Just looked and there is no mention of analog or digital servos in the Futaba manual. However I run two helis one with all digital servos, one with 3 analog and 1 digital servo and all has worked fine for over 6 months and many flights.

 sparkie 326 points

It will work for either, and I do not know of any special setups that you would have to do to set digital vs analog, should all be automatic internal to the receiver.

 ModHeic 37 points

This receiver will work with both analogic or digital servos. But it has no special fast setting for digital servos as HS futaba receivers or orange compatible receiver.

 GeniolocoSinCura 89 points

dont worry, work very well for both.
if you have analog servos just only see a refresh to 14ms. to see this refrsh at 7 ms, your servos must for futaba FASST system , but both servos works very well well

 Robert 11 points

I have 2 of these. They will work with either analog or digital servos or a mixture of both. The receiver doesn't really care what kind of servo you attach.

 Roger 20 points

You can download the manual at Futaba website.

 rngarcia 20 points

being servos futaba cannot yes

 madruga 89 points

the signal no change to the digital. but you can use in digital servos.when you use digital servos in signals digital the servo work greates high speed an smothnes moviment.

Taken from the manual : • Power requirement: 4.8V or 6.0V battery or regulated output from ESC, etc.

 madruga 89 points

4.8v to 6v dont work 2s lipo.the fail safe below 3.8v (engine run to low)

 madruga 89 points

2S lipo packs with extended BEC... If u use lipo without BEC reciever may be broken...

 alex 125 points

thanks for response, I have figured it out, Futaba NiCD 1000mah receiver battery 4.8v will do the job perfectly.

 Jan-Eve 12 points

A very good reciever, always on backorder. High quality, easy to use. No long antenna. For flying scales.(Jan-Eve)

 __Fulg 250 points

Back in stock now... but more expensive than buying from the local LHS (Canada).

 halcon 1470 points

you can buy this receivers for much less money in the local store or Ebay

 gunpower 25 points

Yes you can *) , there are also a bit cheaper

 Duminda 3 points

I strongly advise you to not to try even to couple Futaba transmitter with other receivers.Some people will recommend.But it will not long last.I also bought 3 Corona receivers with somebody's recommendation and still just lying there.One coupled and giving miscommunication on air.Helicopter crashed.

 Aefer 238 points

Thanks Notyly, yes it is a 617, its just my book that refers to the 606.

 Leonard 23 points

I agree Matthias, I can get the same RX here in Canada for the same/cheaper from my LHS.

 Nicholas 25 points

Yes. Hobbyhobby and Greathobbies have them for $106 CAD. You get to deal with a real store if you have problems. No shipping back costs like HC. Hobby City needs to really chop the Futaba prices. Same deal on the 10ch Tx for $649US is $689 CAD. They also need to improve the defect/warranty return system and pay the customer for the return cost or issue an equivalent credit if the item is indeed covered and replaced under warranty.
