Re: Radio Link 2.4GHz Tx & Rx
There's a new GWS 2.4GHz 4-channel transmitter available on the Robot Marketplace. Its $32 (£21) and you can add a 4ch receiver for $10 (£7). Roughly the same price as the Radio Link tx/rx combo if you ignore shipping and import taxes etc.
I just brought it up because it's designed more like a video game controller, which I thought was quite cool and I'm tempted to give one a try the next time I order from RMP, mainly for the novelty factor of having a funky controller :P
There are a couple of reviews on the page though that state that it only failsafes on one channel, but you can get round that by connecting a complete robot kill switch to that channel.
I've still to have a read of the instructions to see if there are any other issues etc but just thought I'd flag this up for anyone interested
