I have one. I got it from Banzai hobbies in Japan about a month ago. It's light. Pretty well balanced. It has a lot of functions I don't know how to use because the manual it came with was written in Japanese. I am sure if you get one from the US it will be in English.

I use the EPA 0-100-120%, and channel reverse and that's about it. It has ABS, and telemetry. You can do all the settings (about 6 more menus) that can modify all 4 channels independently. I did not get the telemetry receiver. So I don't know how that works. Mine came with a s3003 servo and a mc331cr brushed ESC. All for around 100$ US. The wheel is foam, grip is made of plastic. I can't say it's as solid as my old transmitter, but then again that was over 20 years ago, AM crystals and all 😂. It uses 4 AA batteries, which could also be switched out to use a rechargeable BEC flat pack. The screen is big. No back light though. The buttons and menus are easy to use. There is also these three micro switches around the wheel, I never use those. Basically, it has all the functions you'll need to run a surface RC at a very decent price.

I am pleased with it.
