Without having seen one, if it has changeable crystals it is likely to work as well as anything else.  If not, it becomes questionable.
I assume that the receiver has sockets for plugging in servos etc?  There is always the possibility that it was "badge engineered" from another, more recognisable, manufacturer.

I have a Thunder Tiger Lobmaster fishing boat and the radio set that came with it is made by Jaguar. It has it's own instruction book and is labled up as Jaguar. Sounds like it may be either a seperate manufacturer, or tied into Thunder tiger, it does say on the instructions " Serving the R/C'er since 1953". It's not bad either, probably on a par with some lower end British sets, and it is nice to operate with out any unforseen problems.If you want a copy of the instruction booklet let me know......... .............Smudge

Hi....I have just got one of the Lobmaster fishing boats and it's now using a 40 MHz R/C gear. Got it while on holiday in our caravan. Went out to get a tube of toothpaste.......YES you can guess the rest!! Been a model aircraft bloke all my life but now been out with the Lobmaster twice and completely hooked! Not yet stopped fiddling with boat and both of us now waiting for Sunday morning to sail again. There is a bit more detail if you want to look at http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/norcimradiocontrol/whatsnew.htm
Now thinking of a nice BRIGHT led lamp in the wheelhouse.

Ah-ha! I guessed it was you as soon as I saw the word 'Norcim' in your handle.

I see you've been busy with your homepage. Nice, nice!
