Default RC Airplane Transmitters & Receivers on RC Cars

Hi everyone,

Looking for an RC Airplane transmitter & receiver I can use on my sons Traxxas Stampede. I have tried 5 different RC car brands from my other RC fleet, but they are still too big for him.

Any recommendations? Preferably a transmitter that has a FWD and Reverse stick that sits at the neutral position.

Thanks in advance.

The smallest rc airplane radio I have ever used was an FM radio that came with a RTF HobbyZone Mini Super Cub. It's about the size of a PlayStation remote, maybe a little larger.

May I ask why? With a 2 channel car, I think its way over kill. I believe of the most part, the radios will all be close to the same size.

It may be my only choice because he has to use two hands (3yrs old) just to go forward or reverse (one hand to hold the TX and one hand to throttle or reverse).

His fingers are not long enough to be able to go forward and reverse while holding the TX with one hand. I have to help him with the turning while he is in charge of throttling.

He is actually holding the TX like an airplane RC TX. At least with an Airplane TX, he can hold it with both hands and still control both sticks for throttle and turns. Hopefully, I can find just a basic one.
