need radio setup

[rad35]

with all the stuff ive been reading on spektrum what is a good long distance radio and receiver to use?

Once I solved a damaged antenna issue on one receiver, I have had no problems with range and my Spektrum Tx/Rx. My local pond is at least 100 yards shore to shore.

I have tested my Spektrum DX4R PRO out to over 900 feet with perfect control. Used it to set numerous SAW records where the boat starts almost that far away. I do run an external antenna. Both MR3000 and SR310 receivers have worked well for me.

I have used Futaba's FAAST systems with excellent results, but no better than the Spektrum.

ok thank you for the input. was a little confused about what receivers and transmitters will work together. to run two esc's i will need at least 3 channel's one for servo channel one and channel two and three for esc's?

[rad35]

a DX4C DSMR and SR410 should do what i need?

The dual ESC's in my twin are wired in parallel and only use a single (throttle) channel on the receiver.

Ok i thought maybe as i seen a wire diagram that showed two servo's wired together.
thank you for the help.
