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! :D

I like the Etroniks pulse http://www.modelsport.co.uk/etronix-pul ... ucts/38404

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.
