Why 72mhz Jr Crystal is so expensive?

[HZM]

Got a rude shock at rotor sometime back while getting Jr cystal for Bon's 9x. He is on 72mhz and I got the big surprise when I am asked to pay $58.40 for 2 Tx crystal of 72mhz. Tot they might have make a mistake and they show me their price list .... Bon say ok and I LL get it for him.

Price at rotor :-

Lesson learnt .... dun get Jr or avoid 72mhz

Cannot understand the rationale behind. Tot 72mhz is the biggest consumption around the world?

Let's see now..
Just as far as i know..

Feigao $10 - Champion
Hitec $13 - Rotor
GWS $14 - Pips
Futaba $15 - Rotor
JR $29 !!! - Rotor

So how u say we all switch to feigao?
Eh surprisingly, Feigao works in my 9chp leh..

WTF, nvr knew that muz use back brand xtal in my 9CHP..
Used Feigao for so long, and it works even up to 20m.. lolz!!
Now i'm safely back to using Futaba crystal le.. heh..

Till you flying your hornet, raptor, famosa or MIG 15 .... then u ask yourself if you will use Feigao

never had issues with JR crystals.. yes they are expensive but...they work.

by the way normally you only need 1 side.

if you have JR tx and if u buy another rx, it comes with a crystal ..
liao so no need to spend money.


example jr7ch rx at 120 bucks. - $29 for cryustal, so rx is only 91 buck. for a JR rx -- it is a good investment.

Yes, JR crystals are expensive but they are very reliable. hobbyshack slightly better prices
