i'm deciding between Firestik Firefly, 4' &asymp;200w, &amp; Firestik FS-3BK, 3' &asymp;650w. Is one better? It's for recreational use on and off road. thank you!

the reason i went with the Firefly is because i heard it was more flexible than the other Firestiks. so if you'll be going through thick brush or low hanging trees i'd get the Firefly. with a HD spring i can bend that thing all the way back and it's fine. i've hit it on everything and it's still holding up.

Definitely brianaltka. It does work. I go as fast as 120 miles / hour and it still works perfectly. You can consider this piece as you'll never go wrong buying. The thhing comes fully packed with everything.

For me it's the best for this size Quad. I have the Dromida Ominus and there Vista that don't compare to the Alias, knock on wood no motor problems yet! Getting ready to order an Orange Alias when there in stock sometime in Oct.

I currently have a 4' Astatic half-breed. I also use Firestik antennas. The Astatic has less static and better range. You can use a magnet mount but I dont know what vehicle you have or how you want to mount it. The #1 thing is to set the SWR for any antenna. Look it up if you dont know- you will need a meter or a cb shop can do it sheap. If the antenna isnt tuned the transmit circuit can burn out on you cb.

Together, but candlepower is such an obsolete measurement. Which KC would go with Lumens like everybody else. They are great lights, but I wish I would have gone with the 130W spot beams instead of the driving lights.

what? It is a good light. I would go the 900W. For mountain biking consider the two light version that has a wider beam.

I am getting very good results with the 3' Firestik II with the tune-able tip on my Toyota Tacoma. $20 on Amazon. You also need an SWR meter to tune the antenna properly

It could be the watts . The kit I bought turned out to be a 200 watt set compared to 300 watt which is more for commercial use .There is an even stronger 400 watt set. I'm still happy with what I got for the price but I wish I knew the difference in advance so that I would have had chance to look around for the 300 watt model . I have been checking the bdf model but can not find anything , The F may stand for factory reconditioned so try to do more research first.

I tried the 300 and 450 mah turnigy nanotechs from hobbyking. the 450 fits without cutting, but it's a tight fit. Good power from both. Like any battery, adjust the cg to get it to fly the way you want. As predicted, the heavier battery can make the plane fly faster with a heavier nose, and also require a longer landing strip.

4.0 is best mover because u can control its travel speed too . Not just the stopping times at ends.. 3.5 is ok too. I used both. uf u hav e choice or a few extra bucks id go 4.0.. if u have a lota $ go for that beefed up version thats the 5.0 its a beast on a double track for mutiple lights . Twice as strong as others .. but also about 500$ bucks too...

DaveS.....what in your opinion makes the Jet 1221VS better than the Delta 46-460? I've never been a fan of Delta myself but the 46-460 is very highly rated in Fine Woodworking.

street faster than titan, but like said less torq. if the price is right try it out. it was fun till i went brushless.

It's set for the legal 4 watts but can be tweaked to get a little over 5. I'm using a roof Mag Mount and on the open road - I'm getting out at around 25-30 miles. In the city I can usually get out at around 10. Use it mostly when I'm hauling my horses. Best unit I've had to date.

After the Derecho, I got two of these based on recommendations of the Amateur Radio community in WV and OH. Very clean power. And sips fuel if you manage your loads correctly. From the specs: - AC output:120V 2000W. (2.0 kVA) max. (16.6A), 1600W (1.6kVA) rated (13.3A) Thus, running is a Nominal 13.3 A. (But you would be surprised what you can run at half of that. You can take it and a Companion version and gang them together into a transfer switch. Or run separate extension cords. I got mine from http://www.mayberrys.com/Honda/generators/eu2000.aspx since they are out on Amazon. Recommended is a Kill-a-Watt meter which measures the actual loads on appliances. Surprising how efficient new items are. P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity available from Amazon. I have TVs, Computers and Networks on Battery backups. These only draw 2.x amps -- really. The Refrigerator in the house hits 2.8A if the compressor kicks on. Coffee pots and Microwaves are as rated. I looked at several carts and the Honda one is better for my back. Your mileage may vary. If using with an RV or portable setup, you might want to get the theft proof bracket in Honda accessories on Amazon. That and a good Master Lock and 6 ft of good chain at least slows people down. This is not the right place for this but I hope it has been useful. I love mine (all two of them) and test them monthly. That is the key also -- test with Sta-Bil-ed fuel and cycle it all every 6 months or so.

I would go with the MRX-M110. I had the 55 on it. This sub is rated conservatively. I had it on the 110 and fed it about a 1,000W and it handled it without breaking a sweat.

Yes to both....but I want you to know that after 2 brinkmanns, I got tired of short battery life, expensive bulbs and problems with the chargers. I bought a Coleman 4351-700. About $81, sent Prime, and incredible, long lasting between charges, rugged, and an amazing beam. LED by the way. Just my 2cents.
