I just ordered my GWS Rx form BANEBOTS. $43.10 for Rx and 2 sets of Xstals.
I am having problems with all those little airplane ESCs we are seeing. Almost everyone I look at has a voltage cutoff of 4.2 volts. I think that is going to be a very short run time on our 4.8 batteries.

the 8 amp one i showed... heres a key off of tower..

COMMENTS: A small key to help distinguish GWS Speed Controls-
ICS=Forward GS=Forward + Brake
E=lower auto cutoff voltage of 3.2V (normal 4.2V)
S=ON/OFF switch (no switch=auto ON/Tx activated)
F=Futaba J Rx plug
J=J/R (Universal) Rx plug

I like this one better. because I plan to use a 4.8 battery pack.
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHUZ1&P=7

15 AMP might be overkill, but it says
15A 3.6-9..6V
3-8 cell input
Auto cut-off V 3.2
I think this will work. It costs $18.99

"Houston, we have a problem"
m18: Something accrued to me last night after I ordered the GWS speed control. I don't think they are going to work in our cars.
Consider this. In an airplane application the throttle stick starts (at idle) in the farther-est down position on the transmitter. or 0%, as you move it forward the % increases until you get to the top of the stick movement which would be +100%. Now on our application our throttle stick (trigger) movement starts (from the neutral position) at approximately +50% and as we pull the trigger it goes up to +100% and when we push it forward (brake or reverse position) the % goes down to 0%. I hope I explained this well enough for you to understand what I am saying.
Now MAYBE this could be overcome with some programing work on a powerful computer radio. I have a JR XS3, and that is what I ordered the GWS receiver to be compatible with. I am pretty sure that JR does not have that programing capability. I also have a Futaba PJ3 with a spektrun mod, but I am trying to avoid buying that $100 micro spektrum Receiver.
Anyway I ordered the GWS ESP from Tower. I am going to call them and ask them to change it out for a Novak SPY, before it gets sent. As I measure things, it appears I can get the SPY and the tiny GWS receiver on the MICRO T without doing any mods to the chassis.
Ron
