ok im looking for a small reliable receiver that is on the 75mhz fm band. i would like it to be realy small, and i have been looking at the slow flyer receivers by bluebird or GWS, any info on these? i am looking to get one smaller than my current one (see my gallary). any help would be apreciated.

..better to get a CAR reciever than a plane one...The smallest FM i have found is a NOVAK XXL...Looks really good for the money...

matt - the xxl is the smallest available...

You cannot run a plane receiver in a R/C car - different frequencies (planes normally 27 & 72, cars 27 & 75)...its also kinda illegal to be running an air frequency in a car...Not too mention its incredible dangerous - the range of an air vehicle is 5 or 6 times greater than a ground vehicle...

Personally, I'd stay with a novak receiver :)

novak is great but when you don't have space gws is the answer glitch free

...i WANT the NOVAK but I USE the AE 18T stock one (its actually quite small, VERY close to the XXL dimensions ;)) but i will look into that GWS one too...Surprisingly quite a bit of GWS stuff here...

ok the receivers on the robot marketplace cant be used with a 3 chanel pistol. only 4 chanel ones. i didnt get the AM TX, but i found the glitching problem it was my ESC messing up. i am looking into the GWS receiver at the moment tho.
