Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FTX0735 speed control unit compatible with other RC boats? — The FTX0735 is specifically engineered and designed for the FTX Glader Turbojet RC Speed Boats, including the FTX0730G (green) and FTX0730R (red) 35cm variants. Whilst the physical connectors and electronics may appear similar to other systems, using this unit outside of these specific boat models is not recommended, as it will not fit properly and may not provide correct performance. Always use the correct speed control unit for your specific RC boat model.
- Can I use this as a replacement part if my original speed control fails? — Yes, absolutely. The FTX0735 is the direct OEM replacement speed control/receiver unit for the FTX Glader Turbojet boats. If your original unit has become faulty or damaged, this will restore your boat to full working order with identical performance and compatibility. It's a genuine FTX component manufactured to the same specifications as the original equipment in your boat.
- What makes this better than a separate ESC and receiver setup? — The integrated design of the FTX0735 offers several advantages over separate components. It reduces overall weight, eliminates the need for multiple connectors that could fail, reduces wiring complexity within your boat's confined hull space, and ensures perfect tuning compatibility between the speed control and receiver electronics. For RC boats where space is at a premium, this integrated approach is significantly more practical.
- Is this suitable for beginners with RC boats? — If you own an FTX Glader Turbojet RC boat and need a replacement or upgrade speed control unit, this is absolutely the right choice.

Beginners owning Glader Turbojet boats will find it simple to install following the provided documentation.
