Hi,
Im obviously a newbee so heres the question:
My girlfriend ordered the 3PM transmitter from Hong Kong for me (put deposit down and will collect later this month). I made sure the RS603FS receiver came with the transmitter. Now reading the Futaba website I see there is a transmitter, radio, receiver and synthesizer. Im not sure if the synthesizer is seperate? Is there a need for the synthesizer? Do you think I got all the necessary parts to get my rc boat going? I paid +-$200 from www.waigohobby.com . I thought i bought everything, now it feels I only bought 1 part of the puzzle.

A Transmitter and Receiver constitutes a radio (control) system...

Though you will also need servo's and an ESC.
