Link might not work i'm sorry..!

Just search on ebay..

 

I'd been looking at that listing, it's quite interesting for someone who has, say, some spare rear wheels & radio gear   


 

I think it's a bit more than that. There is some rare stuff to be had. If you need it..! Yeah shame about the rear wheels though.!  

Radio gear is easy to come by.. Acoms MK ii  for the Willy...Never worried me getting hold of that stuff.

Lets talk about ACOMS 427 4CH stuff.. ?

Yeah, I recently laid hands on a 427 system including the AS-3, but sadly mine isn't boxed. I've seen a couple of 435 boxes & parts, but they fall outside my OCD

Got flippin' Mk.IIs & IIIs coming out of my ears atm, I've managed to accrue 4 boxed Mk.II sets, plus probably 5+ more TXs, 2 sets boxed Mk.III & several loose TXs & various other bits. The target is one of each variant up to Mk.V boxed & complete (NIB is nice but not so important to me).

Missing a Mk.I box & a 427 box, I think that's probably about it.

Good Acoms 427's are out there but they will cost you a MINIMUM of £250GBP.

I like actually prefer Futaba stuff..

I got this 2.4GHz for £90. Surface. Way more reliable than the old Fm and AM stuff..I love it.

Also have a ripmax Air Skysport... I converted it to Surface...(A quick change of a spring inside is all that is needed to convert it  .)

Take no notice of my big foot there.. You saw noting...Alright





 

Tell the difference?

 

MKII Acoms if anyone is interested... Good stuff.

Perfect for a Wild Willy..

I have a boxed 435 set 

The box isn't particularly anything you'd want to display, but the TX and RX are pretty good, the manual is present & very good, there's a lot of unused servo horns, and there's a sealed rechargeable 4.8v NiCd ... there's no way it'll work any more & TBH I'd prefer the conventional 4xAA harness. Despite the "4 servos" label applied at a jaunty angle at the factory, only one AS-1 servo made it back to the box. I paid a whopping 32 GBP for the set. Theoretically it will go in my Acoms Cessna 172 if I ever get around to building it.

Given the huge price dispartity, IDK if anyone has been tempted to use an (air only) 35mhz set instead of a land/air 27mhz (or land only 40mhz) (UK frequencies) in a 3-speed, I don't know to what extent it's policed, I don't think anyone is likely to be flying on 35mhz more ... The biggest problem I can see is if you took the truck to a formal car event where a peg board is in use & they won't have any for 35mhz ... 

 

 

435 sets are ok.

But it's the ACOMS 427 and the receiver that count. Acoms Receiver has to be 427 as well..

Rare as hens teeth.!
