Transmitters
 

Anyone recommend on fs-gt3c ? I heard its a low cost and a good tranmitter. Don't want to invest 500$ on futaba sanwa, spectrum...etc
I drive trf502 btw.

Thanks

I got one for my son to race his scte and it worked great. Also ran it in my 22 for a while with zero issues. Some say it might interfere with other radios but I didn't have that issue.

Its a good radio and all but one of the main problems that ive heard is that the power button stops working after a while because the solder joints are strained by the turning of the wheel or something like that. Personally, I love a gt3b and ive had no issues. And for 20 dollars less than the gt3c is hard to beat.

Not exactly $500....

The M12 just came out.

So it's a safe bet the Sanwa M11x will be dirt cheap soon. Most reliable radio ever.

Don't go cheap on radios. Unless you want to buy 3 of them.

GT3B is a cheapo radio that will 'work'.

Spend the money and get an entry level radio from Futaba or Airtronics and save yourself the hassle...

I use a 10+ year old Airtronics M8. Take care of your radio and it'll literally last forever. Buy a nice used M11 or F-3PK, add Spektrum (if not already done) and you're good to go.

Have a great car and controll it with a cheap POS radio, makes perfect sence to me:weird:

Don't be a tight arse, pony up for a decent radio and keep it forever, those cheap radios are fine for crawling or kids:rolleyes:

Kavee, sent you a pm.

Airtronics MX-3X is a great radio:nod:

This.

I had a FS for several months and it was ok but frustrating. Had to swap out the voltage regulator for real battery life ($10 plus about an hour). The firmware was a total joke- certain features didn't work and certain settings didn't hold between models. Yeah, you can fix that but it's time and money.

I blew it out and bought an Airtronics; once I did that I stopped thinking about my radio and that was worth quite a bit to me.

There are several good entry-level radios in the $100-$150 range; look here if you're on a budget, or buy a quality radio used and you'll not lose much money on it if you decide RC isn't for you.

spektrum dx3e is $100
DX2e is only $60

a huge step up is the dx3c for $150

shop around, there are TONS of good options for far less than $500..

Like others have said, get a quality radio.

Best entry level radio IMO, airtronics quality and it's $130 new.

Love my 3PM FASST. But the DX3S is my next radio. you can find em here for 150 used.

+1 i learned the hard way when my flysky caused 2 full throttle runaways at a track in once race. Don't risk your $500+ vehicles, pick up a futaba 4pl like i did and be set with a radio that will work your entire rc experience, from noob, to expert or pro.
