nitroncat Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Hi there everyone, I am very new to RC and I am just looking to get into some form of it. I have seen some diy rc planes, that looked really cool, but i wasnt sure if i should start off with cars to get to know it. I have a relatively basic understanding of electronics, but i do have a soldering iron so that helps. I have noticed that there are two different types of transmitters. The type with a wheel and a throttle, and a more "gamepad" type. I do have a 2.4ghz reciever and transmitter, but the transmitter is from an old drone and i cant seem to bind it with the receiver. So if anyone has some budget(around £50) transmitters that they know of that are good, if you could let me know that would be great 🙂 note: I have found a flysky fs-i6x on ebay for around 50, but i have no idea if it is worth the price. note 2: the drone transmitter i have is from the FX-7CI drone. I cant seem to find a "bind" button on it to connect it up to my receiver. (i also lost the bind key thing, but i heard by just connecting the two outer things on the bind channel with a jumper it would do the same job) Edited May 8, 2022 by nitroncat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorrylemming Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) That drone transmitter is almost certainly proprietary and will only work with the drone it came with. The Flysky Fs-i6x (note the X) is probably the best budget transmitter available. It has enough channels and settings for 95% of uses. The X version has more channels (purely a software change) and is usually the same price. The next step up is a multi mode transmitter like a TX16. More expensive but considerably more capable. https://m.banggood.com/RadioMaster-TX16S-Mark-II-V4_0-Hall-Gimbal-4-IN-1-ELRS-Multi-protocol-Radio-Controller-Support-EdgeTX-or-OpenTX-Built-in-Dual-Speakers-Mode2-Radio-Transmitter-for-RC-Drone-p-1942825.html?rmmds=search&act_poa=POA9635998&cur_warehouse=CN I've got an fs-i6x for my three planes and I'm very happy, receivers are cheap. The menu is easy to use and I've had no performance or signal issues. Edited May 8, 2022 by lorrylemming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 The FS i6X is a cracking bit of kit i fly all my planes with this and have RX`s from 6 channel to 10 channel, best low cost system on the market by a long way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
