Bashing?
Racing?
Both?
Personally I like the Radiolink RC6GS. 80.00, works very well. can take a 4s pack. gets nearly 1800 ft of reception.
10 channel memory, Full Mixing on all channels. V2 Tx is well laid out with 2 thumb buttons.
Great Actuators. Some say it feels cheap, but it doesn't feel any cheaper than a high end Futaba in my hands.
The Flysky Noble 4 is also a good radio from what I have read. about 160 on that one. Very capable from what I understand.
I still have and use my old Nomadio React Radio on a couple rigs. My No Preps to be exact.
