I've now got my 2 Ruston's. 1 English and 1 Russian. The English has a slightly better body on it. I'm going to get a couple of batt packs from Strikealite and the ESC's from Mtronics. TX and RX I don't know yet. Any recommendations would be welcome. Ideally,I'd like to be able to have 2 engines running at the same time.

I use a Planet 2.4ghz system, no complaints from me. Driving 2 locos at the same time is possible, but tricky!

I like the Etroniks pulse

10 model memory, screen and relatively cheap for both the unit and extra Rx's. Another lovely feature is the throttle hold switch that locks the throttle for smooth running.
