looking for a new radio?
 

Hey guys my uncle is looking for a new radio. He wants something that has good range and receiver not to bad on the wallet.
He mostly going to use it for a rock crawler and speed runs.
Looking to spend around $100 +or-

There are a lot of inexpensive options to choose from

A lot of the Hobbyking/Turnigy Radios are cheap and should work good enough to bash around

A name brand radio that falls within your $100 would be the Sanwa, it has a waterproof receiver too so your uncle can crawl through deep water as well

I've been running the Spektrum DX3C for about 2 years and can't complain about it. I think I spent around $100 for it and it also came with a receiver.

In that price range I would say the Airtronics MX-V hands down, great transmitter for under 100.

spektrum is the way to go

he has a spektrum dx2e he uses now but it keeps losing signal. his traxxas radio had worked better then the spektrum

dx4c 99$ comes with two receivers! this question has been asked a couple times recently though. do a search for your question you should see it. But yea i only use spektrum tx and rx and they have never failed me and do everything i ask of it! plus the 4c and extra channel never hurt anybody... the 3c is also 99$ which is weird.

Using a Savox servo by chance? They can affect Spektrum radios....

had a traxxas servo

are the flysky radios any good

I use a hacked FlySky that I bought new about three years ago. I have not had a problem with it. The receivers seem to be a little fragile so pad them or have an extra on hand in case of a really hard hit.
If I had it to do over again, I would probably go with the Mx-V though.

Wat can you do with a hacked radio vs the stock one

For that price he could get an aitronics mxv.

- ~100 model memory depending how many channels your firmware is
- Sub trims
- More trim value (from 30 to 99)
- copy models
- fixed expo
- Model reset
- Steering speed
- 4WS Mixing
- Dual ESC Mixing
- Dual ESC steering
- Multi Positions Switches (Up to 8 True positions out of a single push button)
- Key Mapping (any key can control any channel in many different ways)
- Calibration Menu
- Key Test Menu
- Backlight on time
- Inactivity Alarm
- Adjustable Low volatge warning
- Adjustable Maximum End Points (Up to 200% i think
- Adjustable dead zone for steering and throttle
- Turn keep beeps on/off
- Adjustable long press delay

These are some of the hacked features.
There is a thread here about it: http://www.rctech.net/forum/radio-el...ch-thread.html
As well as here, but a much bigger thread: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/elect...er-thread.html

I got mine for the sole purpose of mixing two ESC's for my MOA crawler. Then it turned into using it for my scaler's transmission shifting, and winch.

How are you coming up with $90 for a GT3B?
