Which transmitter

Post by Roy Pickavance »

Hi All,
I have a question and i am sure you will be able to help.
I need a transmitter with at least 5 proportional channels to be used with futaba R617FS and R606FS receivers. Do i just get the futaba 7C or is there a better option.
Regards Roy

Hi Roy

The Futaba 7C is fine for controlling the basic functions of any tank. If you want radio control over other funtions, lights, animatronics, etc, you might need more channels.

Five proportional channels is the minimum you need to control the sound. If you want to control the sound using the Benedini encoder, then have a look at http://www.armortek.co.uk/Forum3b/viewt ... f=2&t=1716 for a step-by-step guide to fitting it. It's fairly easy and makes controlling the sounds a lot easier.

Hope this helps

Mick
