I was about to buy a new Spektum setup for my Boston Typhoon build, but read somewhere that the UK operation had been closed. :((

I have now bought a Futaba T8J set from CMB. After the charger of the first set exploded in the wall socket after 30 seconds, >:-o  CMB have supplied a replacement which seems fine.  :-)) :-))

Being new the world of radio control and model boating, I hope I have made a good choice!

Once you have one explosion under your belt they are usually fine...


Blimey, quality control has taken a nose dive these days, or have they sub-contracted the charger out to a third party?

Hi just to say I didn't break it the alleron port stopped working , looking  on the web this is not an uncommon problem on the DX6 i got to decide if its worth  sending it back to Germany  or bin it and buy a other make set.
