I have been using version 6 with no issues. The update will wipe out your widget setup on your main screens, though. So you just have to redo those. Be sure to backup all your models as they get wiped as well with this update.

Will you guys knock it off. that's how and why companies die to begin with... rumors. JR is not dead nor is it dying . it's called restructuring . the japan plant close and everything was combined in Malaysia. i have called them a few times this month and they have answered the phone not like before when i would get voice mail all the time. so hold onto your JR stuff they aren't dead. i know they have discontinued a lot of stuff that wasn't big sellers . Just hold on ,relax and have fun the sky isn't falling. my 2 cents WB_1

If rumours fill the void and it damages JR, then they only have themselves to blame...

Uhh, I was posting positive INFORMATION - something that has been lacking from JR. I just backordered $350 worth of Rx's. Something I would not do if I didn't believe I would get them.

You'd have to live under a rock to not see that JR are in trouble. You are hard pressed to find anyone using JR anymore at most clubs. If you see one, it's usually an old Spektrum equiped one. Even the servo market that they used to own has become inundated with other top brands.

no.. i get it, just getting old.. hearing about JR going down . i have a 28x and i hope that isn't the case . i was referring to " The sky is falling" syndrome . i've been hearing it over and over . didn't mean to come off aggressive. i guess reading comments and actually not understanding the mood in which they were typed can lead someone to think i was yelling. ...that wasn't the case. i'm a huge JR fan but it's no secret that there's no love lost between JR and myself ,but that's not the hardware's fault . i was pretty critical of them not have proper tech support on such a new radio that was like nothing that was ever produced before. so let's keep or fingers crossed and your right ,they should be more informative, sorry for the misunderstanding ,WB_1

Rather than keep waiting, I just ordered 8 new Ditex 2612S servos from Hacker USA. Shipped same day.
Direct USB programming of the servo via a very nice graphical software manager interface program (no need for radio like JR NX series), very extensive set of features and good performance numbers. They will also have a firmware update to allow for realtime telemetry for Jeti radio users.

Warbird, If what you say is true, what kind of quality do you think there will be from Malaysia vs. Japan ?... They can't even keep up with a Boeing 777.....

If they are in the process of moving/setting up a brand new manufacturing line in Malaysia, they may be having issues/delays with production test fixtures, supply and maybe even final test quality. Only they know.

So I would be surprised if that changed after the sale, but I guess I am a bit naive. Thank you for the warning.
There are a couple others who have purchase and tested them; they are extremely happy with the results to date. It is a very well designed servo.

I spoke with an apparent JR america's dealer, and he said that the reason for delays is the moving to malaysia.
The JR dealer is also the same guy who told me that FEJ is wildly successful every where else other than RCU. So, who knows.
Like is true for all of us, the proof is in the pudding!
