Replacement 2.4GHz Tx/Rx system

Chris

I use a planet T5 with the standard (non marine) receivers in all my fleet, I think its six rx's I now own, its been 100% reliable throughout..

however!

I use Spektrum in all my aircraft and heli's as most of the ready to fly stuff has built-in spektrum compatible rx's

I would with hindsight have chosen spektrum over the Planet system for my boats as there is so much more available for a lot less money. I am in fact going to equip all future boat projects with Spektrum.

spektrum compitaible receivers are available for ÂA£5.99 off the internet compared to ÂA£15 each for the Planet items.. thats nearly 3 for the price of one!

just my 2cents worth

Replacement 2.4GHz Tx/Rx system

Having suffered the second serious problem with my cheap Radio Link 2.4GHz system ( It locked on at full speed sending my 34" Fireboat hurtling Into, luckily, a fairly forgiving bank ) I think It's time to find a suitable reasonably priced replacement.

I've noticed several people at Crealy using Planet T5 Tx / Rx units, but cannot find any reference on the web to them being used In model boats ( although I've noticed reference to a Planet T7 Tx ). Please If anyone has experience of using either of these units with boats can you let me know your thoughts, or of any other suggestions for suitable units.

Many thanks

Chris
