Krisali1 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Anyone recommend a decent transmitter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Yes, however, what is your budget, how many channels do you require and do you want sticks or wheel and trigger? Sooooo many to recommend you see, better suggestions be relevant than not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used wheel and trigger previously, not sure if I would like a stick one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Personally, I use flysky and Futaba. The flysky gt3b is cheap, receivers are cheap, range is excellent, it has never glitched and although it has some lag, it has done me proud for four years and for that reason, I cannot fault it. Futaba kit is bob on, however, the 3pl (within your budget) looks cheap and doesn't feel the quality Tx that it is. Additional receivers aren't cheap, hence why I own the flysky for multiple models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazp1976 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 ^ I wondered what you'd reckon. I wanted to change to the Sanwa MT-4 but couldn't justify the price tag I'm using a Hi-tec Aggressor which is very basic with no memory stuff, lcd etc so 1 car only. Takes 8x AA's but it's never faulted in 2 years of use. Just wanted to treat myself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisali1 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Is there much difference between the gt3c and gt3b? I was looking at a spektrum dx4c for round £90. Think the rx are quite abit to buy on their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 The 3pl has been replaced with this https://www.rccarshop.co.uk/radio-servo/handsets/p-cb3pv-futaba-3pv-radio-with-r203gf-2-4ghz-s-t-fhss-p I would get this or the DX4C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisali1 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Looks decent, i came across a FlySky FS-IT4S. Looks good. Looking for no less than channels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losi8igh Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Seen Flysky ones before and they are okay but very cheap,quality is a bit hit and miss sometimes. One I have seen before had a lot of "bits" of plastic or something trapped behind the display,person managed to get most of it out but a couple of bits didn't want to budge and taking it apart if you are not sure how it comes apart and goes back together is a bit fraught!

Krisali1 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 As far as im aware spektrum are excellent for quality and very robust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I'd be tempted with this: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/sanwa-mx-v-with-dual-waterproof-receiver-set-rx-37w/rc-car-products/395264 Love my MT4, and I could not fault it's perfomance and feel in use. Only thing I don;t like is where they put the 3rd channel toggle. You can't reach it with your left hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deafty Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 The graupner x8n is worth mentioning, It is packed with all the high end features but at a price that is unheard of for what u get. 130 euro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Sanwa looks very good for the money.... Daz, treated myself to a 4pls, just haven't got round to using it yet... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 IF you can handle the cheapish feel and the tacky looks, the entry level Futaba gear has top quality internals. They just really saved all the money on the case! I have a cheap radio for the volume stuff, and the Flysky GT3B I have has lasted really well, works fine, and has never given me an issue. It's just a different thing altogether using the Sanwa. Response, steering feel, and the actual feel in the hand set it apart and mak it something I WANT to use. I am also a big fan of any radio with no antenna to snap off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
