Even if the radio is retuned, the range may be severely
limited, maybe down to 10 feet, maybe even less. There
are capacitors and coils in the circuits that might need
changing to get the range back, not worth the cost.
The servos may work with another brand radio, but there's
no guarantee. This would be easy for the LHS to checkout.
Best bet could be a used 2 channel Futaba/Air/etc. for a few $$
if money is tight.
