RC frequencies

Post by kiki59 »

I purchased 3 tanks for my sons this Christmas on Amazon and all three have the same frequency 27.195 (crystal). Where can I get different crystals?

Kiki59 A seasonal happy holidays to you and welcome to the forum, the answer to your question lies in the Vendors section on this site, I would urge you to go there first not only to find different crystals but if you do that you will discover a list of good and not so good dealers in all matters Tank, Whatever problem you have someone on this forum will have the answer, so go to the vendors site and you will save money and it will prevent you from being ripped off, you have a problem ASK, someone here will know the answer. shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Buyers in the UK should be aware that some of the crystals currently being advertized on eBay for Heng Long tanks are in frequencies which cannot legally be used in the UK in ground radio controlled vehicles. (Only the use may be illegal, it is not illegal to sell them and their use may be perfectly legal in other countries).

If you have ever wondered why Heng Long tanks supplied by the mainstream UK retailers are only available in a limited number of frequency options this is probably the reason.

Of the Heng Long crystals which are commonly available for sale the following frequencies can legally be used in Heng Long tanks in the UK -

27.145MHz, 27.195MHz, 27.095MHz

For further information check out the website for the UK Radio Control Council -
http://www.ukrcc.org

A list of permitted 27MHz frequencies can be found here -

http://www.ukrcc.org/27mhz.html

Now that Taigen have released the new 2.4GHz system, crystals in Heng Long and Taigen tanks may become a thing of the past, some of the new Taigen tanks already have the 2.4GHz system as standard.
