does anyone know if this reciever will work with regular spektrum systems

http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=LOSB0806

seems kinda a ripoff at that price for $74.99 but cheaper than the normal spektrum reciever.
the losi transmitter is $62.99

whats messed up is both of those come with the RTR desert truck that costs $229.00

So $138 for electronics (not including motor or ESC or digital servo), and the car costs $230.00 new

hell its cheaper to buy this truck for the "decent" electronics and junk the car or sell it on ebay. the EC doesnt look terrible for a runner

They do work from what I've been told. They were actually priced around $45 initially until it was discovered by the masses that they were able to bind them with a regular Spektrum system. Then up up up up the price went...

thats messed up. so i see the truck on ebay with all the electronics for around $200 also, what a scam. that reciever should be in the $45 range, i hate horizon lol

the original msrp on those is still printed in the mini-slider manual, the $45 street price did not last long. horizon does have one land rx that is cheaper but it is not in stock yet. This is the new "sport" rx: only $70

A mini-slider is 180, but the tx and rx separately sell for $130
the whole spektrum pricing scheme is a scam for the land users. the basic air receivers are half the price, smaller, and have double the channels. too bad they can't be bound to the land tx.

that really is a huge scam, what a con. no wonder losi isnt doing too well after horizon there.
