richb77 78 Posted October 24, 2016 Gang. i am putting my kids Chrissy presents together (a pair of Amaroks on the WT-01 chassis) and have gotten them a Spektrum DX2e each. These came without receivers and I want a couple of dirt cheap units the Spektrum ones are dearer than the Tx! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Effigy3 1267 Posted October 24, 2016 As nice as the DX2Es are, if you want inexpensive you might want to sell off the Spektrums and get them each some of these: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEELY&P=ML Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richb77 78 Posted October 24, 2016 Sadly that's more than I paid for two DX2e and shipping would almost double the cost! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobbi1977 1793 Posted October 24, 2016 Can you not get generic orange ones from hobbyking that work with spektrum? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richb77 78 Posted October 24, 2016 I thought that and have a couple of orangerx ones from my ill fated attempt at aircraft. They bind but the servo don't move....I looked it up and it's a common issue with the orangerx receivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Backlash 481 Posted October 24, 2016 If you are using ground or surface transmitters (DX2e) then you also need to use a ground/surface receiver..http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__73012__OrangeRx_GR300R_DSM_DSM2_Compatible_3ch_2_4Ghz_Ground_Receiver.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I figured Tower would not be your best source but if there's a local vendor it might be an option. Of course a compatible, non-Spektrum Rx would be a great choice if such a thing exists. The Spektrum brand Rx are pretty spendy in my experience. I've had decent luck with FlySky Tx and Rx. They typically ship from China but if you can wait the GT3B is pretty affordable at 30-something Euro, Rx included. The Rx alone sell for 8 Euro. You could also get the entry model GT2B for 20-ish Euro but most of them don't come with Rx and that pushed the GT3B w/ Rx at 30 a better option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
