Has anyone had any experience with one of these, or ever heard of them?

Doesn't seem you can beat the price :o

I've got the Turnigy badged model. You can control a model way further than you can safely see to control it - if you follow my drift(!)

The programming of the radio is vaguely Hitec-esque.

For the price, well worth a go, and if you can limit yourself to 6 channels, the receivers are silly cheap.

ps The radio is also available badged as the Imax 9x - they are all made by FlySkyRC.

Thanks for the info, I may be able to get by with 6 channels. I was concerned about the dirt cheap price, you get what you pay for, you know. I think I'll give them a shot

I can only say as I find....

It might be worth looking at www.giantcod.co.uk - they have similar models - a 4 and a 6 channel - and the postage is cheaper :o

Rob,  I have just received my Radiolink 2.4 GHz Tx and Rx`s.   I see there is a small ID SET switch on the side of the Rx.   Since there are no instructions, have you worked out the routine for matching to the Tx, please?   Thanks Pete

Try this:

With power to the receiver, press and hold the dinky little switch* on it (the receiver)

Now switch on the transmitter, the receiver LED should change to green, release the DLS* and you should be good to go.

I'm away from all my TX/RX gear at the moment, but that procedure works for 99% of all the Chinese 2.4ghz gear I've tried.
