It's normal to run one model with one transmitter/receiver pair. If you have several models, you either move the receiver into the model you want to run that day, or buy several receivers, bind then all to your single transmitter and install one receiver into each of the several models you have.

If you feel rich, you can buy a Tx/Rx pair for each one...

Is that the question you were asking?

If you have a few models it would possibly be cheaper to upgrade to a Spektrum dx6i, which allows you to run up to ten models from the one transmitter.  You then only have the expense of addituional recievers, although they can be nearly £50.00 as well.  You can't beat that flexibility though of having more than one model on the water at the same time and switching from one to another from the transmitter.

keenyx1,

Nice simple question, and a reasonable one!

Absolutely any number is the simple answer, and DG has pretty well said it.
The Tx sends a coded signal, which only a receiver "bonded" to that code can respond to.  I'm sure that the receiver you got with the transmitter is already bonded, if not it is very simple.

You can buy as many receivers as you like/can afford and bond them to yout Tx then the same transmitter will control all of them, but probably not at the same time :}

Its not a computer radio, so it doesn't remember all the cunning trim settings, throws and mixes for a particular model - this is what bunkerbarges reply refers to.
So when you change models you have to check that all the controls go in the correst direction before you launch (but you would do that anyway :}    )
