Hi all,
I have been trying to source some Futaba 40 mhz AM crystals in the UK, they are still available but I have the feeling that most RC manufacturers are phasing them out as a lot of shops have no, or limited stock. Are we being gently persuaded / steered towards buying 2.4 ghz gear. There must be thousands of people still using 40mhz for all types of surface vehicle, not just boats. Don't manufactures have a legal responsibility to manufacture spares even after they have ceased to make the original equipment. Just a thought.

Terry.

what band do you need I have a bag full given to me by a member for free, so happy to pass on a couple of sets

and you can't use 2.4 ghz in subs, just ask us sub guys. so being cheeky if you have some spare, any channels. yes please.

Thank you for the kind offer, but I have found a supplier. I think the submariners have the biggest potential problem, so let them have them.javascript:void(0);
