And are you using a 2nd remote receiver mounted at the back?

Or is it ok with just one remote receiver? Just wondering cos the main receiver has only 1 antenna whereas the AR7000 has 2 antennas.

1 Satellite should be enough (and has been for me so far), but I'll probably add a second just for the extra piece of mind. Redundancy can be a good thing. Especially when this much money is at stake.

Yes

One is good but I put 2 just to be safe. Its worth the extra cash if you have a crash because of it. I have the 7100R and have had no problems with it at all. Oh but one minor thing. The Sensor bracket for the back plate is made out of plastic and taking it on and off it gets very brittle. So I would suggest get a extra sensor just to be safe. I have taken mine of 4 times and its all messed up. Still works just fine but will need another bracket if I take it off again. I have switched motors then went to pump and non pump and now to viper head with cline if you wonder why I have taken it off so much

I'm also running 2 satelites on mine. For the cost, you can't go wrong.

You think your kids are expensive now?

Just wait until they move out!!

yes

better to be safe than sorry. I am sure you can get away with it forever but there just might be that one day and $30 is a lot less than $200 easy

I have the 7100R with two remote RX on both my 600N's ,It is extra insurance against main RX antenna failure.
The sensor bracket is deformed from the heat cycles on both of mine also,think it is about time for a aftermarket CNC bracket so you can keep the backplate screws tite,...How about making one Gforce or 3dX?

Where can we pick up a sensor? I haven't been able to find anyone that is selling just the sensor by itself yet.

Mine too became very brittle and eventually cracked through. I fashioned some thin aluminum stock that I epoxied onto the back and front of the bracket. Worked fine but looked really ugly. Eventually, I installed the Align gov sensor and it works just as well. I'm really happy with that as it's nearly invisible and well out of the way. You'll have to reverse the polarity of the sensor and install a standard servo plug but it easy.
