53HRA Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I need 5 channels but 6 would be better i like the Spektrum handsets so was looking at a DX6 but all the ones i look at say for helicopters?? Could i use it in a boat or a car ?? Can i assume that if the handset and receiver are bind then they will work in any machine?? Never run a boat but for a car alot of scaler/rock crawler guys use 4-6 channel to power lights,winch etc. Even the Tamiya 3 speed lorrys require 4 channel minimum to change gears requires an extra servo... Just watch out for what transmitter you purchase as they tend to have mode 1 or mode 2 - This means the left and right sticks on the transmitter are different. Mode 1 is throttle on the right and mode 2 is throttle on the left. The majority of choice tends to be Spektrum or Futaba radio gears,and i have seen the DX6 work perfectly fine in a rock crawler. You could also consider this which is also available in 6 channel - Also works well and very cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
