Geez, they were worse than car manufacturers with 20x variations of the same model.

Ripmax RTx-2 - same as T2DR

Tamiya Adspec GS tx - same as 2DR too.

 

How much uglyness is possible to fit into one radio??
Seems to get worse and worse the newer they are..

Spotted this FP-T2GS - so same model identification as the Medallion/M-series it looks 99% like - TX on eBay. Note the band identification (5) on the front panel, I believe this to be a US model as I understand that the FCC deemed it illegal to change a transmitter crystal yourself (maybe this is still the case)?


 

I was a bit reluctant to include the current 2HR model - I don't think it's an entry level radio (75 to 80 GBP) in the same way most of the other sets here were/are, the price is a lot higher and you get less - no servos, no BEC on the receiver as per modern practice.

The "HR" designation might hint that we're missing a generation or two between the 2ER and this, but when you look at the way the design changed from rounded (Attack SR) to full on bulbous (Attack II), I don't think the change from "somewhat Optimus Prime" to full on Decepticon face is that much of a jump for one generation.

Very ugly transmitter...

More 2ER pics

 

Brown plastic Attack-R   

In the absence of any real data but based on servo & RXs, and design I'm going to put this immediately before the more common "chrome" Attack/Attack R/Attack BFR model.

 

Found another rebadged 2DR - this time it's "C&F". I only found one hit on them as a manufacturer - this scan of a 1972 review of their Bugatti 37A www.classic.rc-....net/?p=42.
