I just pirchased a new 2.4 ghz radio from tower hobby and am looking to receive it on Friday. I've lloked online and haven't seen any instructions or tips on doing it. Any links or advice?

What kinda radio did you buy? Usually radios will come with detailed instruction on which channel does what and an extensive manual. For example my futaba 3PL came with a nice booklet with detailed instructions. Youtube your radio model and you might find some useful vids.

As I put down in another thread, I'm just looking to run the car I have the best way possible, so i'm not too concerned with brand names and such. Having said that, I bought the Tower Hobbies 224 2-Channel 2.4GHz Tx/Rx. I was surprised as it arrived yesterday. I ended putting it on last night and it works really well. I think though that i will need to adjust either the servos or the trim on some of it. It has a built in fail safe which I like since I didnt have to spring for another piece. The only thing was that I tried using the stock wiring stuff from the hyperspeed and it didnt work. But it only took a couple of minutes to remove and install the supplied on/off switch, battery holder (the new received wouldn't turn on with the stock battery holder) and the receiver. Pairing was simple also - turn on the transmitter and push a button on the receiver. We'll see how it holds up, but so far i'm happy with the purchase. The added bonus of $10 gift certificate wasn't bad either.
