All I need is a multiple vehicle controller with about 5 adjustable settings. Every thing else is electronic bling to me. And no ridiculous jog button. Simple buttons or scroll wheel.
I liked my spektrum controller. But when I started racing. Kept finding dead spots for throttle thar didn’t really notice before.
The Futaba has been a disappointment. Difficult to make even simple changes. The jog button is so sensitive even change vehicle model is a fight. The binding issue has been absurd. It’s not possible to buy 5 defective receivers from 4 sellers in a single shot. Last car we had to take out of the building, and about 100 feet away from building. It kept picking up other controllers. That weren’t even on.
Sanwa looked good for their basic model. But $50 receivers is no go.
2Ch Rx's are around $30 with Graupner
The touch screen makes programming changes super simple, I've come to realize that I will not settle without a touch screen display going forward regardless of brand.
One of my favorite features is ability to charge the radio with a USB port, no fuss swapping between charging phone and Tx on the pit table
