I've a Hitec Lynx 4s radio that I got a few years back and barely used. Also got several receivers to go along with it. Everything works fine. I'm looking to combine all the meh RTR radios I have into one decent one, and building a few spec cars (euro truck, tt02, 2wd buggy) for racing at the local track, so I need RX / TX for them.

Is it worth keeping or should I sell it and get something newer like a Radiomaster MT12 ?

Keep it until it stops working , the Lynx is a great system, especially if you're the only one using it, there were some issues with overlapping frequencies with multiple drivers using the Lynx side by side... the fix was to buy a new Lynx that didn't have any overlap on the spread spectrum... that was the only reason folks stopping using them and it was discontinued. If you're the only driver on the stand with Lynx then you won't have any issues.

Over time, the potentiometers will wear out as well as the jog wheel, but until they wear out, it will be a great system!

Basically that is a question you should not ask other persons but only your self. Do you face issues with your Hitec? If not then why?????

And the Radiomaster does not have any impression on me, if you read the topic about it there are all kind of issues with software releases and if you are just a simple user and not into the open-TX it will be just another transmitter like many other (I think) more stable options.

It is just what you want or what you need. If you only need to control a car then keep on using the Hitec.

Thanks! I don't think anyone else has one. At least I've never seen one in person. Wish receivers were more available though.

The open source code thing doesn't bother me, I have a tech background so I'm not worried about how to figure out how to program it. I just get the vibe that its still in the beta stage and that makes me leery.

The Lynx 4S is known for its solid performance, features like telemetry, and advanced programmability, which could be beneficial for racing and managing multiple vehicles.

However, if you’re looking for something with more modern features, a newer interface, or better support, the Radiomaster MT12 could be a good upgrade. The MT12 is versatile, with multi-protocol capabilities, making it easier to manage different models and brands, which could streamline your setup if you have various RTR radios.

In summary, if the Hitec Lynx 4S meets your needs and you're comfortable with it, there may not be a pressing reason to switch. But if you’re looking for a more future-proof system with modern features, the Radiomaster MT12 might be worth considering.
