Re: Radio kit [TANKS]

I don't know how important failsafes are in the tank world, but in the
robotics end of things it is critical. The park flyer receiver 
(AR6000) did not have the correct failsafe for robots. Spektrum has a
receiver that will failsafe all channels for the 'bot folks. It's
designation is the BR6000. Spektrum will exchange the receivers if
requested, they are also available at The Robot Marketplace.

The robot folks are very happy with this radio.. 

Good Luck
Gary
