As the title says I'm thinking about getting a RX\TX set for my Tamiya full option so question for the Tamiya guys which is the best setup for my Tamiya ? i.e. how many channels do I need and do I need anything else ?, thanks in advance Horses45

Any 4 channel will do, analogue trims are best. You can then add fire buttons, planet t5 seems reliable and cheap. I've just bought a turnigy 9x, was about £70 posted with 5 rx. You can program it so switches work as engine start and fire buttons etc.

as tom says planet t5 worked well with my tamiya kt

...OK Horses... I just have to ask.... Just when did you acquire this Tamiya Full option... what tank is it..and when do we get to see some pictures

Alpha it appeared by magic with my Rock Crawlers and here are the pics




came on the same day as these so glad my other half is understanding well it just so happens that I have a planet 5 that in taking out of one of my rock crawlers as the new rx/tx has come for it so looks like that's what's going in it simples and here are what came on the same day an already built kit just needs rx/tx and a kit to build and yes it is the same lol just the fun of building it and painting up then the upgrades oh the fun and I will be making time now to get these in my collection done
here are my rock crawler as my other half has claimed the little white one




so lots to keep me going in my spare time till im 105 year old, but thanks for the pointer in the right direction guys

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ..........Dang Horses...Get a Futaba.... not sure how much they are in the UK... ask Sassgrunt for some info... he knows a guy that mods them specifically for Tamiya vehicles...especially tanks... US around 120...which is about the same as what they sell for on Ebay


Dang... I still can't believe how your collection has grown .............

Happy RCing My good Friend

The Futaba 4WD should work right out of the box for Tamiyas. Personally I use a Spektrum D6Xi TX.
