Default RE: Hitec receiver with Futaba Tx


ORIGINAL: FatOrangeKat

The Hobbico receivers also look like Futaba receivers and are $10 less.
The Tower and Hobbico receivers are actually $22.99 less than the comparable Futaba FM receivers. The Tower Hobbies and Hobbico receivers come with the receiver crystal provided and are $49.99. The Futaba receivers are $59.99 without the receiver crystal and crystals are an additional $12.99 each.

As I've said previously, the pricing scheme for Futaba radio accessories mystifies me and paying regular price for a Futaba receiver and crystal isn't an option I'd choose. There are too many perfectly good alternatives that are far less expensive.
