i have to agree with CafeenMan man here guys i have come across such a radio


myself and my dad went halves on a load of R/C gear,in ths box of goodies was a lot of radio stuff and a futaba TX, i thought i had seen all futaba's TX's but this one had us stumped it was a good little TX by the looks of it, it had RPM meter and some other nice stuff but it wasnt working, so we took it apart to see what we could do but we could NOT FIND THE BATTERY lol

basicly the battery sat in the middle of 2 curcuit boards (lika a sandwich) the battery's were a very strange size and packed into a plastic box, then we found out that the main power wires from the batterys were soldered to the main board and no way of disconecting them via a clip or any normal means, after playing with it we found that the batterys had given up the ghost, and thats when we found out the battery's were not normal size, they were thinner and shorter if i remember right, and no matter where we tried we could not get these batterys [] the TX still sits in my loft in bits, its a chame BC it would be a good transmiter too, we powered it up by "OTHER MEANS" [>:] and it worked great but no batterys no TX

so yea there are some really strange TX out there and i wouldnt have belived it if i had not seen it with my own eyes lol, ill find out and get the model for ya sometime
