Default Tower is selling Multiplex??? Gasp.

I saw that tower is now selling multiplex. I can't believe it. I wonder who else will pick it up? Anyone know anything regarding this? Maybe servo city or the like will pick it up since they sell hitec too.

I saw that too. Is Multiplex good? It seems to be priced higher than the rest.

Thanks

Multiplex servos are right up there with Futaba and JR. Good specs, excellent quality, and both digital and analog offerings. I would have no issues with using them in my larger airplanes. In fact, I already do, with my Extra having a mixture of JR 8411's, Airtronics 94358's, and two Multiplex Jumbos. The Jumbos are used on the rudder, and put out 600oz of reliable torque. I also had a pair of Multiplex Jumbos in my 35% Cap232 again with excellent results.

The radios are IMHO better than wat is available from F/JR/HT/AT but a bit more expensive too!!!
Look at the Royal Evo models

Default the buyout

I knew about the buyout. I was just surprised to see tower jump on it so quickly. I can't wait to see what Hitec and MPX come up with for a line of servos and radios. They should be tops.

Well Hitec/Multiplex are now merged so Tower probably has to sell them along with hitecs now

Multiplex is high partly because of high quality and partly because of lower production. Lets hope this increaces sales and lowers prices to around JR prices.

Perhaps Tower prefers selling 9Zs?
