Boat receiver and servo recommendation
I have a futaba radio for my electric RC boat on chanel 66. I just built aa 36" Nitro hydrio and i need a new receiver and servos for throttle and rudder. I want to use the same futaba radio and want a good receiver and servo for my boat.

RE: Boat receiver and servo recommendation
Hi Brett,
If you have a Futaba AM transmitter, you might want to check into the R114H which is FUTL0400 (27Mhz) or FUTL0404 (75Mhz) recievers, being 4 channel receivers, they will leave you the choice of adding things such as lights to your boat in the future. Please remember you must also purchase the appropriate crystals for either of these receivers.
If you are using a Futaba FM transmitter, then any current FM receiver will work well for you. You can choose a 2, 4, or 7 channel receiver, more channel options again, will let you add features to your boat in the future.
For servos you may want to look into the S9405's as they have almost 80 oz's of torque at 4.8V or almost 100 oz's when used with a 6 volt battery.
I hope you find this information helpful. You can also reach our Futaba support technical team at 217-398-8970, or via fax at 217-398-7721.
Sincerely,
Krysta
