John Armstrong 2 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hello I have a Hitec Optic 6 transmitter with a Hitec Spectra 2.4GHz module. Do you know whether there are alternative receivers to the Hitec Optima series that can be used. As I only need 2-4 channels for my gliders the Optima receiver is not a cheap option.

Devon Flyer Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Hi John. If you are using a Hitec Spectra then, as far as I'm aware, there are no other alternatives. Your best bet would be to buy a Frsky or Corona module and use their receivers. The module and receiver would probably be cheaper than a Hitec receiver alone. If you use a Frsky or Corona module specified for Futaba you will find that it will fit the Optic 6, you just have to put it in upside down. Giant Cod sell them.

John Armstrong 2 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thank you DF It looks like you have saved me a lot of time on a wild goose chase. Your suggestions on changing my module is worth thinking about. John A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Marsh Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 You can use the Minema 6/6e. Look at Airtek hobbies on the top right of this page. They're £26.95 and will work with the Spectra 2.4 module, but only after updating the TX module with the latest firmware, via the Hitec HP22 unit. I did a thread a while ago, as I bought the Spectra module, even though the Optima Rx's worked ok, couldn't get the Minema to bind. Sorted now. at £26, good value, and full-range, as well...
