Attack(R) of the Futaba controller.

Welcome to the first video of 2023.
I know its a day later than expected, but I wanted to start the new year with a new video and not miss out on the first of the month.
Here is a 30 year old vintage digital proportional radio control system. Futaba Attack-R.
Removed this from my vintage Tamiya Grasshopper 2 RC car.
27.045 mhz is a bit too old skool for me now. I prefer the new 2.4 ghz controllers.
On the mhz band you were limited to 5 or so RC cars in close proximity at any one time (Or at least that is what I remember)
On the 2.4 ghz band you are not limited really and can run multiple numbers of RC cars at the same time.
Having recently sold this Futaba system on eBay, I wanted to video it being tested to prove that 30 year old equipment still works, prior to sale.
Thanks for watching,
Come back for the next video
