Welcome to the site.
Your Planet set will work fine with your model. if you need a separate rx these can be had for about £20 from many suppliers. The new rx will need binding to you existing Tx but it is a simple procedure and covered in the manual.
Wiring is straight forward. Assuming you are using the Tx with the rudder on the right horizontal stick and the throttle on the left vertical stick, the rudder servo plug needs to go in the No1 channel in the receiver. The ESC plug need to go in the 2nd or third rx channel. The black wire on the lead needs to go to the -ve connection, often marked on the rx. Futaba type connectors have a small tag which will only fit the correct way. You will need to check the correct channel for your chosen stick as they may be different from those I have indicated.
If your ESC has a built in ESC then it will provide power to the RX. if not you will need a separate 4.8v battery to plug in the rx battery slot, don't use this for the ESC plug as there is no signal connection.
The connection to the battery should be by the red ( ve) and black (-ve) wires from the ESC. There may be a connector (Tamiya) to fit the battery but you can replace this to suit. Do check you have the correct orientation as reversing the polarity will damage (destroy) the ESC. As this is a brushless motor I am assuming you have a brushless ESC which will have three wires for connection to the three on the motor. Doesn't matter which way you connect but if the motor runs the wrong way for your chosen stick movement ( most choose to push up for forward) then you change over any two leads and the motor will reverse. Do not connect the battery whilst you are making the connections and check everything before you do connect.
Make sure your prop is clear of any obstruction (fingers etc) as brushless motors are very fast and powerful.
Hopefully all will be OK but please ask if anything is unclear or you need further help
Happy sailing

hI guys
we have recently purchased a vosper 46ft RAF crash tender 34.5 Inch kit with motor, electrical speed controller and servo from the vintage model boat company.
ON receipt of the kit we have realised we are missing a reciever(we have an existing Planet T5 digital remote control)
the kit we have at present:
H.KING HK 15139 servo
CAR-45A electrical speed controller
Turnigy Aerodrive D3536/61250KV motor
question 1: can anyone recommend a reciever that will work with the kit and controller we have?
question 2 : can anyone provide a wiring diagram to connect the kit we have? we were supplied with a diagram of sorts but connection between the speed controller and the mptor as welll as the reciever/servo Is vague plus cable colours are different and not marked.
any Information would be much appreciated
many thanks
