For those of you using 27 Mhz channel R/C Sets,
It is always a problem when turning up to the model boat pond or local car racing area and finding someone on the same frequency as you, unless you happen to have a spare set of crystals that is. Even then, there is a good chance someone may be using that Frequency as well...always handy to have a few spare sets.
Average price for a pair of Crystals I have found ranges between £4.50 to £8.50, plus postage costs if you order them mail order or online.
Now here's the Bargain, Your Local Halfords is stocking X-Mods mini R/C cars, the cars are very small but they use standard 27 Mhz radio and of course the standard bands. They also do a Crystal set with 6 pairs of Crystals, all on split frequencies on bands 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12. The Crystals are exactly the same type you fit into your current radio...ie the same size and fit.
And the Price..??? £14.99.....absolute bargain for 6 pairs of crystals !!
If you buy them online they will cost you £18.50 plus postage as can be seen on the link.
I saw them and immediately bought a set to keep as spares for the Model Box.
Regards.......Mark.
