Great... I like the controller... it behaves like a Futaba 3PM.
The PCB was also swapable with the MR02 chassis... but the FET will not be able to handle hot motors.... I think I burned the one on my MR02 chassis when I installed an Iwaver Pro Motor in it.
Hi, I'm new to this forum and am interested in the 2.4ghz Iwaver.
Questions: Where did you get it?
How much was it? price + shipping
How do you like it overall?
I have heard both good and bad about Iwaver, mostly bad it seems. Many claim it is a cheap knockoff of the Mini Z and is not of good quality particularly in the electronics area, circuit board, transmitter, etc.
So, is all this true; or does the switch to 2.4ghz solve those problems/
I live in the USA and can't find them at any hobby shop so no one here knows much about them.
I got it from China... about US$100 plus shipping.
For the price, it is good enough. Some units are lemon though
Since the parts are clone to miniZ MR02, I can use the aftermarket and stock kyosho parts for future upgrade/replacement ... but it might be bit more expensive.
I don't think they have agressively sold the 2.4Ghz into US market at all....last december, they say that they shipped 1500units to Germany....
It is still a clone... the only advantage I saw with them is the cheap price that would match up my need for my RC rentals...
Honestly, if you got the money... go for a mini Z... you would have lesser lemon problems.

I don't think they would do that... they are currently selling their 2.4Ghz tx already ... so it would not be practical for them to copy and kyosho ASF instead.
