Radio Usage for Surface Applications

[bartles]

I have had to put up my RC Helicopters due to eyesight issues. I just joined this forum and have an interest in building a miniature dragline. The forum has been an excellent place to gather information, and to learn about build rc surface machines. I would appreciate feedback and opinions about:

1. When I left flying 2.4 technology was just being introduced. I did buy a 2.4 conversion kit for my JR 9303 transmitter just before I had to hanger my helicopters. Would it be acceptable and safe to use this equipment(2.4) in a surface application with the 9303?

2. My receiver in the conversion kit can handle 4.8 or 6.0volts....what type of battery or converter should I plan on using assuming I will have 6 servos converted to 360 degree capability operating on 6volts on the machine?

Thanks in advance,
