IIRC Ian, your 2.4GHz transmitters are already set up as Tony suggests. The problem appears to either be lack of sensitivity in the Tx circuitry or an issue with the receivers. Whichever, the car/plane controllers are simply too bulky/heavy for me. Tony's original RCS controllers were about the size of a cigarette packet and worked very well, but they don't seem to be available any more.CoggesRailway said:Tony Walsham said:If you use the elevator channel for setting the direction and use the throttle stick purely for speed, the stick travel is double from off to full speed, which means you will have much finer speed control.
Plus, with the RCS system you can have even finer start and stop speed control with the infinitely variable momentum/inertia setting. This is set by the operator at will during operation.
That's interesting. What i am getting at is that you use something like your kit that is designed for railways as opposed to standard car/aircraft stuff. I have bought second hand such equipped locos and they are a bit hopeless.
Mike (Beavercreek) makes a good point about the Aristo revolution controller, but it's a big lump of first cost compared to the other systems quoted on here.
