I decided to start another more to the point topic here regarding the aristo TE. I sure was "schooled" with all the responses and opinions I received from my other question of what I could get for $400. Thanks to all that replied and helped. I still have not decided yet with which way to go but I am much closer to making an educated decision. From what I understand let me make a list of what I need and please tell me if I'm wrong.
For power I'm looking at the Aristo elite #55465. Question: will this be too much "amp juice" for either the 27 mhz or 75hz TE systems. They seem to have a cut off?? I wouldn't want to plug it in and have something get fried.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. In order to use the Aristo TE 27mhz I need to get a transmitter,a trackside receiver #55470 and link the elite to it and I can run one engine. For 2 the tracks need to be isolated and a second receiver brought in. I noticed on the Aristo website that for the 27mhz system they offer #55490 and #55495 to be installed inside the engine. Question: with that installed in one engine can I then run one by the track and one over the air from the same transmitter? Or would they both still be using the rails to pick up power and the signals they need.
Now to use the 75mhz system I would need the elite #55465 and the transmitter #55492 as well as #55491 installed into each engine I want to run. With the 75mhz system the signal for the engine is over the air and not through the rails so any engine I want to run needs to have #55491 installed to work I cannot just put a friends engine on the track that doesn't have the receiver installed and expect it to go.
Once again I would like to be able to run more than one engine from a walk around control for a minimum of money. If someone knows the aristo # that I need to make it all work plus a cooling fan if needed let me know. I have sent an email to aristo technical support asking the same questions without a response so far. Any input is greatly appreciated. Set me straight!!
Thank you
Todd
