Recommended Radio Equipment

You will need a minimum 5-channel transmitter, 

receiver and six servos. You can choose to purchase 

a complete radio system. If you are using an 

existing transmitter, just purchase the other required 

equipment separately. We recommend the crystal-

free, interference-free Spektrum

 DX8 2.4GHz DSM® 

8-channel system. If using your own transmitter, we 

recommend the following radio equipment.
If you own the Spektrum DX8 radio, or you are using 

a different DSM2 radio, just add the AR7600 DSM2

 

7-channel receiver and six JR SPORT

 MC35 servos.

During the course of building your model we 

suggest you use a soft base for the building surface. 

Such things as a foam stand, large piece of 

bedding foam or a thick bath towel will work well 

and help protect the model from damage during 

assembly. This is not shown in the instructions 

to provide the greatest detail in the photos.
