That's a riot. Now the "tower" brand of the same radio is $69.99 but the receivers are only $18.99! I use the tower receivers interchangeably with the Tactic tx all the time. They are EXACTLY the same radio.

Sooo, you buy one Tactic tx/rx for $60 and then add more receivers for $19 each! What a deal, eh?

The Tactic Tx only is $39.99. With a Tower rx at $18.99 thats $58.98!

You do lose a channel with the Tower Rx (only 2) but hey I'll prolly never need the 3rd one......

The Radio is only two channel. I tried to plug in a servo to channel three and nothing happens with the trigger ot wheel. Was kinda hoping that it would be two throttle channels so you don't need to run a Y connector.

Yeah, it's kinda silly that the Tactic receiver is 3 channel. The transmitter is only 2!

Tower Rx has batt,1,2 (2channel) Tactic Rx has batt,1,2,3.......(3 channel)
And yes the Tx is only capable of 2 channels for the Tactic and the Tower.....

There are more than 1 Tactic tx's. The stick style would let you use more channels. I just bought the Traxxas 2.4ghz tx/rx for 50 bucks, new. The rx has 5 channels!
