Looking at a Futaba or Spektrum controller/receiver. I'm leaning toward the Futaba for nostalgia's sake since I used to have a Magnum Jr back in the day, and I'd like to spend $150 or less.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Tony.
I was in the same position you were a couple of months back and was also leaning towards a Futaba, but then someone on this forum recommended a Sanwa MT-S. RCMart currently has the transmitter only for $110. You won't find a better radio in your price range and it is perfectly suitable for racing and bashing.
I chose the cheapest shipping when I ordered mine in January and had it in my hands in 2-3 days. Small Sanwa knockoff receivers can be purchased for as low as $25 (Das Mikro). The knockoffs work great, there is a thread dedicated to them in the Radio and Electronics section.
