Status: offline 		Just about any of the standard ground recievers will work, The one thing I will suggest is if you don't have the aluminum upper plate you should get one. The reason being that you need to get the battery away from the reciever. The cheaply made batteries that all come from China splatter electric impulses that interfear with the RF and can cause problems.............including run away even with a failsafe

What? that's the rottiest rot I ever heard. Batteries do not exhibit this kind of behavior. Even cheap ones. Poorly made servos on the other hand - they'll cause you problems.

It really no problem getting dirty as long as its away from your RX, You can also put in a 3 way plug that allows you to charge the hump pack without taking it out or unplugging it
