Stick Transmitters and Telemetry

[ScreenByte]

Hi All.

Being a bit old school (and old) I still like to use a stick transmitter.

One of the reason is that I'm also cack handed as they say and the wheel on the right is no good for me.The reversible ones are really expensive.

I'm in the market for a new one and don't want to spend a fortune so I was wondering about the turnigy ones?

They seem t have a lot of features for little money or are they only good for aircraft?

I was also interesting In telemetry but can't seem to find out how that works with a petrol car.

Any help at all please, links?

Thanks

The Turnigy or it's Flysky equivelent will be fine. You might want to replace the ratchet throttle with a sprung one though.

Even though the software options only show aircraft named settings they work equaly well for surface. Just have to get used to using aircraft names for surface functions.

 

Wish they would realise that some people want to use them for surface use and provide the spring throttle bits along with the radios and have surface settings built into the software. It's easily done. I have the Tank Commander version from RCTanksaustralia that's all set up for surface use with new software but that's one that's specialy modified by Rctanksaustralia.

Thanks John, great advice.

I'm just having a bit of trouble finding a Self-Centering Lever in the UK.

If you don't want to order the centering arm from Australia there is a 3Dprint file available if you know someone with a 3Dprinter.
