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.

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.

Re: MiTo R/C Set (Mike - Tobe)
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) ...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
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.
