That would probably be fine if I don't have ant radio gear then. Otherwise it probably will be c6c or technobots.

I paid £150 for a 40MHz Futaba 4 channel with servos and Rx about six years back. I'd expect to be paying a lot less for a similar system now the market has a lot of flashy computerised Tx's available.

True, Derek. I missed the $9.99 boat myself. I picked the two that I have up from Ebay for $22. There are a LOT of these things out there. http://cgi.ebay.com/VEX-ROBOTICS-TRANSMITTER-AND-RECEIVER-ADDS-A-2ND-USER_W0QQitemZ220374695682QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item220374695682_trksid=p3286.c0.m14_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 Crystals can also be had for cheap. They are a little thick and clunky (the transmitters), but are solid and well made. The 5th and 6th channels are on the bottom and consist of high/low buttons that can be used trigger-like with no mods.

This is what I use; http://www.squadronleader.co.uk/product/DX5e_5-Channel_2.4_GHz_Radio_System_SPM5500---DX5E No servos with it but not a problem if you're using an electronic speed controller and skid steer. The RX that comes with it is really made for aircraft use and has some disconcerting features for ground use but thats not such a problem for a supply vehicle.
