Hey folks,
I'm in the middle of restoring a couple of nitro RC buggies, and to hopefully save money, i was thinking of using an orange spektrum rx. That way I can continue to use my dx7 without spending more on older 27mhz gear.
I know it is actually possible to do, but I wanted to see if there would be any problems in using a 6ch orange rx for a surface vehicle? The 2-3 channel equivalent rxs appear to be much more expensive, and the only thing I think they give me (apart from less channels) is their "waterproofness". For £7 odd, I can't see there being a cheaper alternative, and range shouldn't be a problem?
Also - I am aware that the DX7 doesn't have the sprung-loaded throttle stick - doesn't bother me too much as only really planning on bashing around and nothing much else.
Cheers
