What Brand Transmitter for my first?

[MikeM4r5h411]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and RC in general. (I have typed Transmitters into search box and nothing came up)

 

So I'm basically trying to get my bearings as to what's a worthwhile transmitter and receiver combo. Its been a looong time since ive had RC cars "Spektrum DSX3" was my last RC days.

Was just wandering what's the brands these days or can anyone recommend a combo that's good for a beginner and not sky high pricing. 

I bought my boy a cheap FTX Vantage for Xmas and I have to get into the hobby myself lol. I also play a bit of VRC Pro if that helps with recommendations??

 

Many thanks for help in advance..... Hope you all had a good Xmas too lol.

I like Spekky, but their RXs can be expensive.

Flysky GT5, it has all the features you'd ever need plus the RXs are like £6.

Yeah, I also have a GT3B, nice enough, no range issues, RXs are dirt cheap.

They Both Good price range  Flysky GT5 seems to have all features as you said without the price tag of a spekrum. 

 

 

Is Flysky and Turnigy the same or something?  They both Have a GT5 and they look the same apart from one is a "AFHDS 2A" and the other isnt a "2A"

This also helps solve my first question without really asking it.

I've seen a lot of "FlySky" stuff online but didn't know anything about them. Only gonna be using it for bashing so as long as it does the basics with a half decent range (I don't wanna be going silly distances like 500m to pick it up when I land it on its roof haha) and stable signal strength.
