Does anyone have a BR 6000 they would care to sell to me?

Re: BR 6000

Great. What is its name?

Re: BR 6000

I got the name of your local model shop and phoned them but sadly they have no BR6000's and don't know if they will stock them in the future. So I am still looking for a source.

Re: BR 6000

The site let me put one in a basket too; it even let me pay for it. But when I phoned them today to se when my order might arive they said they were out of stock and would try and back order from Horizon. Since the BR 6000 is not listed on the Horizon website I fear I am bavck to square one. All suggestions gratefully received.

Re: BR 6000

hobbyking offer cheap fake spektrum rxs which seem to work just as well as proper spektrum ones. if you only need a 4ch rx you could give this one a go:

Re: BR 6000

Only problem is that those cheap OrangeRX receivers are DSM2, whereas the BR6000 is/was original DSM technology.

Re: BR 6000

have a scroll down to the key features part of the description.

Compatible with DSM2 & DSM aircraft radio and module systems

whether or not this is true i don't know, might be worth a punt for $14

Re: BR 6000

Thanks for pointing it out; it does seem like it is compatible with DSM, but of course so is the AR 6000, which is still available. But I doubt that this receiver will have failsafe on all channels, like the BR 6000. That's an unusual feature, probably unique to robots. So I am still looking for a BR 6000.

Re: BR 6000

Apologies Jonny, I didn't see that bit.

John, as far as I am aware, those little Orange receivers output no signal when radio signal is lost, so you can just plug in your standard external failsafes as required. At least, that's how it seems to work with my DSM2 handset; not sure if it would be different for DSM technology (although can't think why it would be).

Re: BR 6000

from one of the reviews However, it doesn't work with my DX6 which is DSM cant see how it will work with DSM1, as its basically looking for 2 signals on DSM2, and seeing as DSM only has one, it will just keep trying to find the other (as far as i can understand any way)
