Superb - you should be approaching JCB to see if they want any of their big diggers converting to 2.4Ghz with that colour scheme. Looks proper bonny. 8-)

How did you know that.

Many years ago I was involved consulting on a project for JCB . We converted one making it the biggest FPV, radio controlled toy in the world; yup...no driver on board.
I have to say I was slightly concerned as it trundled past all the directors very expensive cars but it worked.. phew... Proof of concept proved.

MiTo system has now been updated to a full blown up 8 channels system with the new Rx, you might remember that the first one was introduced with my 6 channels Rx.
This 8ch Rx will run down to 1s, the servos runs on +Batt so 2s servos are no issues as to run from 5 NiMh or 2 LiFe which was not possible with my earlier Rx as this one it has both voltage regulator as reverse polarity protection.
It uses a nRF24L01 module that has PA and a pass band filter to guarantee maximum range.
The pin header 3+3+2 (spacing between each group of pin headers to facilitate installation/removal of each servo lead)
The Rx is 26 x 27 mm full 8 channels
The Rx is 26 x 27 mm full 8 channels
...and if it's not on you YouTube it doesn't exist so here it is

.....I know it's a poor video but one-handed I can't do better!

Very impressive! Love that small RX. And those little servos are great too. Most amazing scratch built radio I've ever seen!

Oops :oops:
You are of course absolutely correct Tobe. My personal thanks to Phil for sharing his original code which has empowered me to learn new tricks and return a bunch of Tx's to active service, all gear that I coveted in magazines I poured over as a youth.
