Fattaff Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Hi all , I'm complete novice and need advice My 13 y/o son loves rc cars He has downs syndrome All the cars which have been bought for him so far have come from large toyshop with that said quality The car controllers seem to last days /weeks due to him dropping them etc He had taken to the twin toggle stick style controller is it possible to A- swap internals to a more robust controller ??? B- buy a universal controller?? Or am I better to start fresh with robust car and controller which I can get spares for ?? Car must be electric so he can use indoors and not too fast for this purpose As said I'm complete novice and looking for advice Many thanks in advance, chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Hi and welcome to the forum Stick type controllers arnt as common as wheel/trigger types but can be got As for being more robust even an expensive rugged controller will break if dropped a few times There isnt really a universal type controller as different makers use different protocols on how the transmitter talks to the receiver so it maybe better buying a transmitter/receiver combo where you can buy additional receivers for different cars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fattaff Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Hi , is there a particular make/brand that has lots of spares available so I can repair or replace as we go ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I would have a look online for a transmitter combo you like/price then check spares/receiver availability Dumborc and Flysky seem to be well regarded by some members 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
