Good luck with your cheap receivers. I'll stay with the genuine ones.
Edit:
It now looks like I started this topic. I didn't, the OP decided to delete some of his posts including the first one.

Im not sure they make them as I have seen them all over the place. Its just, for us Brits, the guy who sells them in the link I posted can get it to fellow Europeans so much faster than ordering from these Chinese companies!  John |

I see a lot of Zippy Lipos on ebay too. I know HK makes those.
I'll admit I'm not sure if HK makes these receivers but I felt I should share the links to their many options. They sell a 9-channel Spektrum Rx. That's new to them...

OH, you guys want receivers that work? Horizon has those. If you just want the cheapest thing that claims it will just wait a while until the guys that bought these try to unload them.

For the time I had a Spektrum (DX5e with Radian) I tried a couple. Seemed to work fine. A bunch of my buddies are using them. In fact most are not buying Spektrum RX anymore. Haven't heard any complaints. Some guys buying them in bulk for resale do indicate a small % of DOA and failure to bind.
FWIW I still fly on 72MHz with no intention to change at the moment.
Comments - IMO one of the biggest problems with 2.4 (major brand name) TX is the RX (stupid high) prices. I thought the competition would bring the prices down but it sure isn't, at least so far.
This is a park flier range RX. I sure would not put it in an expensive or long distance plane, but I wouldn't do that with a Spektrum park flier. No experience with the antenna module.
I would NOT buy the Spektrum counterfeits (Target Hobby, other places) that try to pass themselves off as the 'real item'. This kind of products muddies the marketplace for everyone. Now how do you know if an RX you buy used is 'real' or counterfeit? The reports are not as positive either.

All these Orange RX brand work, man. Don't be a grouch! They bind well and cost so much less. Go fly you $800 Super Cub a bit to cool off! |

Hey Paul, feel free to take the ad in the news header down, cos I really had to say this. Ban me too, understood. John Why wouldn't you put your advertisement in the classified section instead of starting a discussion topic worded like it was someone else that was selling them? "Couldnt believe this great deal when I saw it, cheapest in the UK by a hairy goats beard mile.............." I wouldn't be rude enough to comment on someones for sale ad. Or rude enough to call them offensive names. |
