Robot MarketPlace - Futaba 2PL 2-Channel 2.4GHz FHSS No Receiver

Now there's no reason why sport racers and boaters should miss out on the advantages of spread spectrum! The 2PL Sport 2.4GHz FHSS offers modelers an affordable 2.4GHz alternative that retains the 2PL's programming features while providing the interference-free control that has made 2.4GHz all the rage in R/C!

Features
FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) eliminates frequency pins and signal interference-pushbutton transmitter/receiver linking with no binding plugs
R603GF receiver has a flexible coaxial antenna that is easy to position inside model for ideal reception
One-button programming for fast and easy menu access
Ten model EEPROM memory stores and selects preset programming for up to ten different models
One trim switch allows setting and adjusting trims without returning to the menu
Steering dual rate strategically located on the grip close to the trigger offers more mid-range control, crucial when cars are going into corners
Steering/Throttle End Point Adjustment (EPA) limits servo travel for more control and to prevent servo damage
ABS braking initiates ON and OFF pulsing for less skidding and can be set for slow, mid, or fast pulsing

Basic, Simple, effective

If all you need is a basic radio without the twitching of the old Radio Frequencies, this is a cheap way to get 2.4GHz stability. I was a little bewildered by the lack of a visible antenna on the transmitter, but it seems to work well anyway. My project called for an immediate voiding of the warranty, so I can tell you: to remove the circuit board directly under the steering pot, you have to unsolder the pot. I checked with Futaba. This is the only way. Crazy.
