The Italian job Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Looking for a twin stick transmitter/receiver to replace stock wheel one that come with traxxas trx 4. Any ideas? Sent from my SM-T820 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4inbrain Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I'd stick with reputable brands. No need to spend hundreds of pounds, but i'd not get a china special for the connection between you and your RC. Get a Taranis Qx7 (£73), Spektrum DX6 (dunno, around £120 maybe), or hell: if you need a stick transmitter for a ground RC, just ergonomically, the FrSky X-Lite is probably by far and beyond your best bet. https://www.quadcopters.co.uk/frsky-taranis-radios/frsky-taranis-x-lite-24ghz-transmitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Italian job Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 will any 6 channel transmitter work? I can't find one that states for a car, just for planes/drones etc.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybadger Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I paid 50 quid for my DX6I and 20 I think for a receiver second hand and they have all the functions you'll ever need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markymarky Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Just bear in mind that a lot of 6 channel controllers will be for quads/planes etc so the sticks will move in 360 degrees rather than the straight up, down left and right. On some you might be able to "lock" the gimbals in the controller to stop movement in the directions you don't want. Also you might have to mess around with end point settings to get the switches to behave in the same way as they do on the stock TRX 4 controller.

m4inbrain Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 There's a reason why people generally don't use them for cars. To my knowledge, there is no "car" stick transmitter, so whatever you get, you have to modify it anyway since, as mentioned, both sticks move in all directions ("360 degrees") - and one of the sticks (depending on if it's either mode 1 or mode 2, determining which stick is the throttle) doesn't have a return spring for up/down, so if you put it to 60%, the stick will stay there. At the very least, i'd argue, you need a return spring for the second stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Italian job Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 so I might be better off getting the trx4 sport which only has 2 channels? then I can just use something like the carson I have for my cc01.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 If you have a spare receiver for that one, yes. That said, i'll be honest here, you might be better off just getting used to pistol grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Italian job Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Yeh I know. Might just have to get used to it. Your right if I go for the lesser model I will probably regret it.Sent from my SM-T820 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
