Tosh McCaber Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 I use a Spektrum DX9 tx for flying. I wonder if anyone can suggest a lightweight 4-6 channel Rx for Spektrum DSMX txs. I did have a Lemon lightweight rx, but I can't see it advertised now. The Lemon range all appear to have cases, or have the smaller sockets. I am primarily looking for an rx that will fit standard JR/ Futaba plugs. Apart from Lemon, I'd be interested to know of any other brand? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

leccyflyer Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Tosh - the Lemon receivers fit standard JR servo plugs just fine - I trim all my Futaba servo plugs to fit other receivers anyway, but I can confirm that the Lemon receivers don't have incompatible sockets. I'll put a couple in my flight case next time I'm at the field so that you can see the current and previous Lemon receivers. I'll be at the field this morning.

Tosh McCaber Posted September 17 Author Share Posted September 17 Thanks Leccy, Unfortunately, Tuesday is my walking day with my pal!! So won't be at the field. (And it's one of those very few windless days!!) We'll keep in touch on it. Is Root 726 still selling Lemon? I'm looking for full range Spektrum compatible lightweight receivers (reliable!) for the likes of my Pibros (motorised) delta. Also any suitable Spektrum compatible Rxs for our winter indoor session models! (No problems with JR/ Futaba sockets). Thnks for the prompt reply!

Nigel R Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/root729uk 6 channel £17, doesn't get better. I'm somewhat sure you can remove the cases? The Orange R615X is out of stock at HK UK store, but in my experience is just as good. Also removable case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) I use lemonrxeurope on ebay for my receivers and 2.4ghz modules, because Stuart is a fellow modeller of long standing that I know and trust. On ebay he used to trade under the name planesamtheman, as recommended in RCM&E's Retro Ramblings column. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?item=133704108565&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l170197&_ssn=lemonrxeurope Edited September 18 by leccyflyer typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Colman Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 MotionRc in europe is another source of Spektrum compatilble Rx's. Sold under their Admiral brand - were previously Lemon I believe. I've used three of their Rx's without problems. https://www.motionrc.eu/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 I just buy them directly from the Lemon-RC online website. I use PayPal just in case but I have had no problem over several years.Postage reasonable and delivery is surprisingly quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
