I don't have any of the older type so can't comment, but are both the trannies you originally showed compatible with each other? If they both support the same MFU then they may work too?

Yeah, that's a point, good thinking. I can't think off the top of my head if there is any difference with those RX18's, I'll have to experiment :thumbup:

I installed it just fine and really like it a lot. I will be buying more of these to change older 27mhz systems to this setup as soon as I can afford to.
Did that involve any wire changing, or was it plug and play?
It was a straight up plug and play experience.

I was speaking to Dave on Monday and gave him this good news. He can supply the v3 Taigen packs (transmitter, mfu, sound module and speaker), indeed he supplied mine. Checkout the Forgebear website and/or email him re options.

The BBC bit... Other suppliers are available!
