Another Unit Crane

The only other 6 channel ones I've seen are pretty expensive. Do you know the max voltage the receiver can operate on? I'm running my Hitec at 8+ volts.

their info states:

This transmitter requires a PC to modify any of the channel variables including mixing and servo reversing.

They also sell the USB cable to do the above.

What i need to know is does that have to be done to use this radio for the ESCs and servos in our cranes, or will it work already?

Do you have your radio already, and if so, what do you think of it? Dan.(pretty green at RC stuff still)

They do have more channel radios there but more money of course.

the usb cable is needed to change the radios configuration. like to change the direction of the switches etc.

as for voltage, i havent a clue. my order is on backorder because the stupid usb cable is backordered. All i can hope for is that they get in soon and get to me about the same time my replacement servo arrives. It sucks seeing the truck/trailer/crane sitting on the coffee table and not being able to play with the crane!
