Default RE: What Radio Do you recommend?

I use any and all servos that come cheap.
In the past, Ace radios were the easiest to modify. However the quality of the current manufacturer has received poor reviews.
Our club electronic guru was recommending JR radios, but ony because they supplied him with specs that allowed him to make modifications. However our members use every known radio in the biz. That really expensive Futaba CAP setup has been moderately popular, as it can be programmed to run several different boats.

A lot of people in our club just place servos where they are needed.
I take the time to put the reciever, ESC, steering and gun fire control in a water tight box to keep them functioning. This allows the boat to come back and continue playing even after being sunk.
