The FCC regulates that you CANNOT legally use 72Mhz systems for ground-based vehicles, but we get a lot of requests for 72Mhz systems for those of you flying model aircraft. Now you can purchase this system on the 72Mhz frequency from us as well. PLEASE DO NOT attempt to use the 72Mhz system for a ground-controlled robot! When you buy the 75Mhz ground system, it is configured from the factory specifically for use with ground vehicles such as robots or RC cars/boats. When you buy the 75Mhz 9CAP from the Robot MarketPlace, it will come configured without servos

Futaba 9CAP 9-Channel PCM System

This 9CAP radio is the perfect system offering absolutely precise control of any type of model. This PCM radio on 75Mhz ground frequency is legal for use in BattleBots and all other major robotic tournaments! By popular demand, we also can configure this unit on 72Mhz for aircraft usage.

The big advantage the 9C offers over the 8U and most other options for ground modelers is channel assignability. Channels 5-8 can be placed on any switch/slider/dial in a single step, and channel 9 (switch only) can be placed on any switch just as easily. This is great for weapons control and a huge variety of other options. On most radios channels 6, 7, and 8 are preassigned to a dial and you have to do a lot of 'finagling' to get them to a switch.

* Retains all of the super features that have made 9C radios so popular, in a comfortable, well-balanced transmitter.
* The 9CAP has the ability to mix any 2 channels to work together
*Slider switches on both sides of the case control any two proportional channels you desire— while keeping them within easy reach.
