Reciever problems

Hello....Im after a bit of advice...Im trying to work on some rc subs and need 40mhz equiptment but I'm hitting problems getting recievers to work. I have a couple of 40 Meg hitec transmitters that work with 40 Meg hitec recievers in other models so I know they work. I have bought 3 different make recievers from different sellers and fm 40 mhz crystal sets and none seem to work...dual conversion or single makes no difference....Im running out of ideas has anyone got an answer to the problem?

Hi Stephen
You could try asking about you R/X problem on the Association of Model Submariners forum, see if you can talk to Dave Frost

I had trouble trying to get a R/X for my boats in the end I found that Engel do an R/X that works with my F14

Loved the pond at Gorleston, did thousands of laps running around chasing my pond yacht , 1st 2 weeks in June, 1961/65. Fantastic holidays, hated the 6 hours to get there though, from Bolsover, Derbyshire.

Lights on the Mote

It was our club’s ‘lights on the Mote’ evening today. I think the day’s heavy rain kept many folk away but we did get a couple of hours where the weather was fairly clear. I took my Aeronaut Diva along, liberally decorated with cheap string lights that I got at Primark…

great idea to have a twilight run to see the boats with lights on in all their glory.

Renovation of a lovely old boat.

I decided to renovate a very old model Clyde harbour tug which belonged to my Dad. This has been in the family for over 80 years (Dad would have been 100 this year) and was in need of some TLC. It is now fully radio controlled and runs from 2 x 18650-2000mAh batteries. Length: 41cm, Beam:11cm, Draft: 6cm, weight: 1.5Kg.

According to the motor, ESC is underpowered. I needed at least A 60A ESC.
Here, let's have a look at it.

Hi Canabus. Thanks for this input. I went and checked out the Lesro Sportsman and the dimensions are a bit different... The Sportsman is 31" x 12" - This new model I have is 39" x 12"
