bought an Mitchellin Pilot escos TA01 R/C with everything but the handset and receiver and the porpshaft to enable 4wd, been to all my local model and R/C places and none of them have seperate controllers or are willing to break a set to let me have one. i dont even know whats best to get or where to get one from now.

anyone have an idea????

cheers

surely every model shop sells handsets and receivers!?!!? otherwise just get em online, people change handsets all the time and receivers break, so loads about.

ebay is prob best

 

trust me all the places ive been to didnt have seperate ones. trouble with ebay theres loads and i never know which is best. never really had a proper R/C my last one was over 15years ago when it was all big electronic boards which took up the whole chaissis

 

cant go wrong with futaba or sanwa do some good cheap ones i think.

 

cheers mate il have a look, see what i can find. you into R/C or just know your stuff??

 

I have a 27mhz Transmitter, receiver and set of crystals you can have cheapity cheap.

 

tell me more

 

not really mate, ive got a few but never raced them, just mucked about!

one of them was owned by a uk pro though which i got cheap so has all the best kit, great fun and built to last!

 

ive always wanted and escos R/C car. found one on ebay and bough it. just want to get it working.

 

i run Sanwa gemini 2 and its probably one of the best around

Not really sure what else I can tell you. From memory I thin k its an Acoms set. I got it with some stuff I bought on ebay. I use Spektrum now, but used to use 40mhz and have a top of the line Transmitter so its no good to me.

It doesnt have the functions of the Sanwa Gemini mentioned above, or most other top radios, but unless you're planning on racing your car then I doubt you will need them.

So all up, transmitter, receiver, set of crystals (basically all you need to go) and you can have it for Ł20 plus P&P.

Does the car have a speed controller? This plugs into the receiver, and connects to the motor, in order to make it work. I have a few spares of them, and I have a few rebuildable 19t motors if you're interested.

The 19t motor is way way faster than the kit motor, and the fact its rebuildable is handy too.

 

The set I'm talking about is the same as the one in that ebay auction.

 

Just read your first post again, if you know the length of the propshaft I might have one of them too. I have a purple alloy one and a carbon one. Both will prob be the right size, but if you measure, I can check for sure.

 

sorry havent replied sooner this post went from page 1 to page 4 overnight so i lost where it had gone

sounds good to me mate how much for the gear with the 19t motor and propshaft??

 

a place called kitstop near me sells complete radio sets (27mhz) includes transmitter, reciever, 2 servo's and a set os chrystals for 50quid.
