Title: Robbe futaba Fc 18
Post by: mersey dave on January 14, 2014, 08:25:19 pm

Hi all I have a robbe futaba fc 18, now the thing is I have changed it over to 2.4  so my question is will a 12+2 switch unit along with the decoder work on 2.4

Regards Dave.

Hi Dave,
In short no. The 12 2 decoder or any Robbe Futaba multiswitch / decoder's only work on 40MHZ.
The same as the Graupner Nautix stuff.
Dave did you get the proper Robbe conversion to 2.4Ghz as the Robbe futaba comes with a changover switch from 40MHZ to 2.4Ghz., so you just need a 40MHZ receiver?

Hi mate, I got the 2.4 module and 8 channel receiver from China for £36 and I have to say it works brilliant I would recommend them to anyone . :-))
And thanks for letting me know about the multi switch not working on 2.4 and yesterday I was told by robbe that it was a big no.

Regards Dave.
