I was thinking of buying the Tactic 850 transmitter from Motion and I noticed they were no longer showing it in their inventory, so l sent them a message and they replied that Hobbico is no longer making them. So I went to the Hobbico website and sure enough they have discontinued it. I hope they are planning a replacement I sure like the Tactic 650 I've had for four years.

I had bought a Tactic six channel computer radio, and I liked it a lot. The Tx was light and a good shape for a one hand grip for DLGs, I thought the sticks were as smooth as butter, switches seemed of decent quality, the link was bullet proof, the receivers would work perfectly on a 1S LiPo, and prices were very reasonable. The only thing lacking was flight modes (conditions). I was pumped for the 8 channel, as the prerelease advertising said it'd have flight modes, but when it came out it did NOT. I feel that flight modes are a necessity for any radio I buy, so I sold all my Tactic stuff and returned to Spektrum. Been happy so far. If Tactic would come out with an upscale 8 or 9 channel Tx with flight modes It'd be an attractive offering.

I may be wrong but it feels like Tactic is focusing on non-computer/simple radios or going away completely. We've decided we are no longer going to carry the brand because we don't want any more customers to buy into a brand which may not be around much longer. The Tactic product offerings are getting very thin and it is impossible to get a straight story about the brand. We hope to offer a better alternative soon.
