I have not personally tested Dumbo RC radios, but I have confidence they offer decent quality, though I would imagine there will be an occasional dud here and there.


I've had really good luck with Radiolink brand radios in the past and was able to produce comparable consistency and speed with high end radios. I no longer race with Radiolink anymore but I will vouch for the brand as one that I would trust with a race grade car for sportsman level club racing. I have heard of reports with a bad Radiolink system that was glitchy right out of the box, so it stands to reason that Dumbo RC would experience the same fail rate where higher end radio systems are likely to do a much better job of quality control.


Another mid range budget system to consider is the Fly Sky Noble which many seasoned racers in my area are raving about that system.


I currently race with a discontinued HiTec Lynx4S and have a Graupner X-8E for my backup system. If there's anything I've learned is that I require a backup for every component in my arsenal. Everything we own is already dying a slow death from the day we start consuming it.
