Where to buy TM-14 Faast module?

[OKerbaul]

Dear Helifreaks,

The US vendors I know are announcing a batch of TM14 modules only end of March... On ebay, I found "Hobby Magic RC" that seems to have them. Anyone knows this vendor? Do you know any other reliable shop?
Thanks for your help.

Cheers
Olivier

I would be a little scared to order from them.
They show this module and say they have 15 of them available

Futaba never made but a few of the above modules and never released any for sale.

They even list the have 15 of the 2.4 ghz 8 channel module and receiver. Those have not been released for sale yet.
Also the link to the website is no good.

Thanks David,
So I guess my best option is to wait until end of March?

Tower is still showing late Feb for delivery of the recievers and modules. Has that now been changed to the end of March? Hope not as I'm on backorder with Rick's for a set.

I just bought a 617 to hold me until the backordered 6014 is filled, both from Tower.
I will wait on the backorder and hope they have enough to fill all.

If you scroll to the bottom of his ebay store page you will see they show pre-order DUE END OF FEB.
Yet he has 3 available.

Been there done that. Ebay is discussed in previous posts in this thread. One of the Ebay dealers shows a picture of the TM 14 module that was only prototyped and never produced and says they have 15 in stock. Also the same dealer says they have the 8 channel 2.4 module and reciever in stock. These have not been released yet.
So don't trust the ebay dealers to deliver the goods.

module/receiver combo available now on tower and advantagehobby.

I ordered from advantage hobby. For those who haven't try them yet, I'd highly recommend you give them a try. 5% off on first order, and free shipping.
