    Hello all. Was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to figure out why the relay chatters when trying to TX. The RX seems to be working ok. I'm new to all this and thought this would be a good one to experiment with. Any info would be greatly appreciated--Thanx in...

    Amp for the 98VHP

    Was wondering if there was any amps out there that would work with the Galaxy 98VHP. Would I be gaining anything by running a TNT1200 amp by Xforce? Any suggestions, comments are welcome. :confused1: Thanks.
