I have been looking on ebay and there are good ones for planes at 2.4ghz between $100 and $150 but for a rc car they are around $250. WHY? I also did see a few am one's but I guess it would be better to go for something fm or 2.4ghz. Can someone point me in the right direction.
If you want to get a good quality stick radio, try the Sanwa Exzes X which is essentially the famous Sanwa/Airtronics M11x in stick form:

Expensive? Yes! But if you take good care of it, it will last years...
