I did not write or I do think I wrote you could buy a Tamiya Japan Market Kit with the radio in the states. LOL.

I wrote or meant to write, I had bought a first kit from the AAF Museum sans radio and used the silver case Futaba 2.4 system which I purchased at Tower Hobbies in the USA.

A year later I bought a second JS-2 kit, but from Banzai Hobbies in Japan, which included a Tamiya Branded rc 2.4 radio system.

The point is:

The Japan Tamiya 2.4 black case transmitter is mostly the same transmitter, as the USA silver case Futaba 2.4 transmitter.

The differences:

The silver case Futaba transmitter does NOT have a self centering left stick and the Tamiya-Futaba black transmitter DOES, other wise they are the same transmitter.

The Tamiya Japan branded 2.4 receiver is identical to the USA Futaba 2.4 reciever.

Hope that helps TheBennyB and enjoy your JS-2 build.

Looking forward to following your efforts and did not mean by any stretch to divert the topic.

Build on, John
