Construction Equipment Radio

[Stuart]

I've been looking in to multi-channel radios too lately and have narrowed it down to the following:

The DX18 as Lil Giants sugested

The DX10t although the sticks seem to close together but you can change switch modules for different configurations

Then I stumbled across the Graupner range of tray style radios, the MC-16, MC-20 and the big daddy the MC-32.
These are upgradable with extra switches and you can bind multiple receivers for extra channels, not sure if they are available in the states but I guess you could order from europe?

I still haven't decided but am leaning towards an MC-16 which is 8 channel out of the box and upgradable to 12 channels later on (more if you have multiple receivers)

Stu the DX18 will do 18 channels 9 in the radio and 9 on a expander it's all plug and play. There is also one other thing about this radio it keeps you up dated with the latest info. You just go on site down load and transfer the info to the SD card that comes with the radio. Ed

Thanks Ed, do you know if you can bind 2x receivers to the same model memory on the DX18 or DX10?
I'm thinking 1x in a truck and 1x in a trailer maybe for ramps and stuff rather than having wires between the two.

I do like the Spektrum radios, I have a dx7s at the mo with quite a few receivers so would make sense to stick with them.

Don't mean to highjack this thread

Yes the spektrum gear will support this, place both rx's in bind and the bind the radio.

The receivers must be the same series, ie. dsmx or dsm2. You can't bind dsm2 and dsmx recievers(at the same time to the same model memory in the tx).

P.s. I would not recommend the 10t, as the 18 has more functions for less $.
