Just had the Ripmax rep in. The 40mhz version of the Robbe Futaba F14 set is available again..
Order code P-CBF14 retail price £109.99. The set includes the basic F14 Dry ( No Batteries Fitted ) transmitter, a Futaba R118 40mhz Rx and a Futaba S148 Servo. The Multi switch units and twin stick options should be available soon, although no sign of the decoders yet.
They have received the remaining stock formerly held by Robbe, and once sold out, that's it, all gone.
So get in touch with your local Ripmax stockist and get one ordered, they are great general purpose sets.

although no sign of the decoders yet.
just get one of the https://wetronic.nl/webshop/ decoders.

Another option is this website, I have their stuff installed into my F14 Navy and it all works on digital and analog

Could you point me to the shop but for them? I'm struggling to see where to buy!
-
i will be putting them in my shop next week at lower than the retail prices along with other bits for our new boat section
-
Will you ship to the States?

Alexander Engels have stock of the FC16 and their website says that the modules and decoders will become available again at the end of April 2106. I've deal with Engels in the past and they are very reliable.

But do you also not ship to the USA?
-
Won't be much use to you in the US will they? 40mhz not legal.

F-14 uses standard Futaba crystals... the 40mhz can be swapped for 75mhz, and retuned
-
i can ship over seas at cost price and insured
-
Do you have the 8370 multi prop decoders thanks
-
not yet ive got my ripmax rep on the case to find out if there is any
-

Yup, Thanks Dave...........just waiting for the traffic lights to change !

Alexander Engel
F14 back in stock
-
Yup, back for good now. Also the decoder modules are about to come back into stock.
The radios are now liveried up as Ripmax Futaba, rather than Robbe Futaba. Main difference, they no longer have the expanded scale voltmeter on the front, now replaced with two LEDs. Oh, and the prices have gone back up again <:(

An ad in the February 2018 "Model Boats" shows that Howes Models (www.howesmodels.co.uk) are stocking the Futaba/Robbe F14 4 channel set on 40 Mhz. Single stick set including Rx for £151.99.
Could be of interest for model submariners looking for 40Mhz sets. (Although 458 Mhz openLRS is a good alternative nowadays.)

I didn't know about limited time only -I believed there was stock elsewhere in the UK of 40MHz. In the latest Model Boats mag, there's a short article that they're starting to supply them with 2.4GHz modules also now.
2.4GHz aside I'm not so sure about prices going up that much. I seem to remember paying not much less for mine something like 15 years ago. Prices haven't gone up that much considering!?
....'tis a nice radio -I really like mine. No inscentive yet to change mine.

....whoops, my bad, just noticed it was a thread resurrection %)
