Title: digifleet
Post by: gary r uk on February 25, 2007, 06:18:21 am

Hi guys
I have just acquired a 1/96 HMS Magnificent by Deans in need of  slight restoration ,anyway it has Digifleet electronics a custom 3 RX 7 channel running on channel 685 with 2 fleet esc.
Now i know that Digifleet has gone the question is will this stuff work on my new Futarba 6 exa TX?.
Any one know if Deans sell photo etch on there own?
cheers

Nope. I take it you're on 40 mhz, and Digifleet had their own system anyway.

Ebay the Digifleet receiver, and buy a Schulze, excellent receivers for the money and will work very well with your Futaba TX.

Make sure you modify the wiring to the servos, digifleet like early Sanwa gear didn't follow the Futaba wiring system.
