Technical Performance
The MG41 + R4A transmitter receiver set represents a proven combination in the RC hobby market, with the MG41 transmitter delivering reliable 2.4GHz control signal transmission across typical hobby distances. The R4A receiver utilises modern digital receiver technology to decode transmitter commands with minimal latency, ensuring your steering and throttle inputs translate immediately to vehicle movement without noticeable delay. This transmitter receiver pairing is engineered for smaller-scale RC models and has been proven compatible with various ROC HOBBY vehicles, particularly 1/12 scale crawlers and similarly-sized platforms. The compact form factor of both components makes them ideal for tight spaces within smaller RC chassis. The system operates with standard AA batteries in the transmitter, offering convenient power source availability across the UK, whilst the receiver integrates directly into vehicle chassis without requiring additional mounting hardware or complex installation procedures. The 2.4GHz frequency band ensures operation free from common interference issues that plagued older 27MHz and 40MHz RC systems, delivering consistent control range suitable for outdoor hobby use and track-based activities.
