will the hitec synth. recievers hold up to 1/8th buggy truggy racing without problem heard they have durability issues

Yes it will. As with any receiver install you need to make sure it has adequate insulation from vibration.

can i show up at hitec and buy one of these recievers or do i haveto order it through a LHS need it this weekend

Sorry for the late reply, but we are unable to sell direct to the public. Gotta keep the LHS's alive.

I'm loving my Synth. Its been in a Rc8, B44, and now in a Xray 809. I wrap it once with the 1/4" Rx foam used in airplanes.

My B44 was the hardest test for this Rx. It was double servo taped to the carbon fibre. Nothing but 2 layers of servo tape between it and getting slammed hard into the ground twice every 28 seconds (1 lap).

After being moved from car to car constantly for about a season, because it was the only reliable RX I had, the first problem was some major glitching because somehow the antennea was pulled off the board. I opened the case and carefully soldered the antenae back onto the board. Works fine to this day.


Is it true this RX can be run with a 2 cell 800mah Lipo without a regulator?

I have 2 7955 servos connected to this Rx and thats a lot of work for my 7amp Novak regulator to keep up with. My 10amp Castle reg set to 7.0 volts kicked the bucket a while ago.
