New Admiral receivers

[xviper]

Well, what I mean is packages like this that comes with the satellite antennae, which is what I have in the Avanti and the Tigercat, or the same 10 channel diversity receiver with a better price tag. Just a thought before you get into flown blown sales on these great receivers, you might want to check the competition.

Just saying. I'd rather buy from MRC, but the price difference concerns me.

Wow, that's even cheaper than RC Castle.

Point well taken G.
I know that I pointed you to BuddyRC awhile back and haven't been there in like a year because I presently have a boat load of Lemon Rx on hand but your spot on.
If they(Buddy) can get Lemons and STILL sell at those prices TODAY and make their margins then of course the retired purchasing mgr in me says the rebadged Admirals can/should be more appropriately priced.
Guess we'll have to wait and see if the application of a different label merits the price.

I think Spektrum has long stopped sweating. They reached the heat stroke stage quite a while ago. I wonder what will happen when Lemon starts making Spektrum compatible transmitters? LOL They shot themselves in the foot when they introduced proprietary RX programming that the end user couldn't change and charging over $100.00 for those you can change.
But, I supposed they've bandaged up the wounds a little bit partnering up with FMS. :Confused:

You lost me on that comment XV...........how so :Thinking: Not to derail this thread so I'd like to know the details via a PM if you wouldn't mind.;)

I'm pretty certain they've been in a position of concern before this occurred do to loss of sales to Lemon products in the past couple years.
This is a great partnership of MRC with Lemon and it just goes to remind us that they do listen to customer requests when it makes sense. :Cool:

We just added these receivers yesterday. We are working on finalizing the instructions so we have not made an official announcement just yet. The 10 channel receiver is indeed on our web page. Someone mentioned 7 channels. We call the 3 axis stabilizer and 6 axis stabilizer plus a 6 channel receiver while Lemon calls their version a 7 channel. We feel 6 channel is a more accurate description since the gyro function uses a channel leaving you with 6 open channels. We feel our firmware simplifies the setup process and makes the gyro function easier to use - especially with a 6 channel radio. We've had these in the works for a bit over a year. We spent a long time testing and tweaking to make sure all of these are as simple and reliable as possible. We are very excited to finally have these in stock and on our web site. Setup videos and product manuals will follow soon.

Good news, I love my Lemons:Not-Talking:!!
I can get a 10 channel rx for $30, is that something we can expect as well??

I believe we will be looking into the Telemetry in the near future. In the meantime we just wanted to get started with some of the Basics and let others who may not be familiar with this receiver get their hands on some. I will be heading to the warehouse on Friday and if I get any extra info that I can divulge I will let you know.

[Twowingtj]

I'd like to see them get the 7 Channel with telemetry as well.

[dkalwishky]

I did a chat with MRC and they apparently just came in today.

[OV10]

WOW...............they snuck them in without any fanfare :Not-Talking::Confused:

They have 6 chan with 3&6 axis stabilization.........interesting.
Look forward to seeing a comparison between them and the Lemon 7 chan stabilizer.

[Twowingtj]

Awesome! Many of us were hoping that MRC would either carry or partner with Lemon. :Cool:

I'll assume Motion will make a post soon about this but I found that they now have Admiral branded receivers.

From the website:
These Admiral DSMX™ compatible receivers are manufactured by Lemon with custom firmware specifically for the Admiral brand receivers. The Admiral 10 channel receiver features a diversity antenna for better range and the most reliable coverage for your model. Motion RC picked the best receivers on the market and worked with the manufacturer to make them even better. These receivers are an excellent value for RC pilots with the reliability and performance that Lemon receivers are known for in the hobby.

I've been using Lemon receivers for two years now and I love them! Great job Motion to listening to what your customers want, my next receivers will be Admirals!
