[QUOTE="bk_man, post: 168927, member: 207372"] I missed out the crucial bit the powered motor.. - the maplin one isn't powered, be careful that the receiver you choose has the ability to pass enough current to drive the motor.. or you put the receiver at risk.. if you go for external powered motor then you eliminate this risk... you have to balance your choice carefully within your budget so ask for advice on this before taking the plunge.. some of the people on this forum will have been doing this for yrs without problems so copy their setup - I came back and put this reply because I remembered about an issue with certain motors and certain receivers - which was related specifically to the motor making too much demands on the receiver..
