Hi All, I am building out my first ship (a old swamp works USS Northampton/Houston kit) that I got 20 years ago. At that time, I had a 6 channel airtronics Vanguard radio that was converted to a surface frequency. That said, the batteries on it are blown and the charger is gone. I think it may make more sense just to scrap the old radio and get a modern 2.4 ghz system going. 1. Any advice on what radio/receiver to buy? specific recommendations would be hugely appreciated I tried doing my own homework on this and started drowning in the terminology around transmitter modes/etc. 2. Should I specifically get a waterproof receiver? again, specific recommendations greatly appreciated. Thanks for any and all help!

This is what I’m running. For what I spent it’s been great. I would suggest epoxy the receiver to water proof
Thanks all! Why battery set up do you use to power the recover on this? I had the boat all wired up to run on 6v gel cell and wasn’t necessarily planning to switch my running gear to liPo or anything like that.
If I was buying today... Turnigy Qx7, smallest SBUS receiver I can get that supports telemetry (will tell you at TX if you loose signal) and run serial bus to clusters of servos.... cleans up the wiring a ton.
