4ch Radio?

[bling_it]

Hi all another question....

 

I am going to buy either the new hi-lift or a Globe Liner but i have no 4ch radio, which is the best suited for rc cars? I dont want to fly anything and most 4ch radio gear i have looked at has been expensive and some very cheap almost to cheap to seem anygood, so any previous experiences would be good to hear about!

Thanks

to use the MFC and to make shiffting easier I recomend the Futaba attack four channel stick radio.

This is the same radio Tamiya included in their full option Knight Hauler set.

I use the skysports one from stella bout $90 dollars i think it was 40mhz works very well in our truck and lots of torque to move teh gear shift and steering. plus the receiver is actaully 6 channels lol so scope to move if u change the handset lol

Yes i have seen the skyports and it looks okay but i read that the throttle is is on the right handside which would be odd to use plus planes have throttle sticks on the the trannies that stay in the position that you put them in and dont snap back to neutral like rc car transmitters, so this may make diriving things abit akward unless you can fix this somehow?

 

Thanks

I have no problems with mine - the throttle is only the channel that you set i have set it to be the left up and down like normal and it resets as normal to central as does the steering on the other side. You are correct that the right sides up and down doesn't reset however this is ideal for selection of the 3 speed gearbox as you can leave it in a set gear whilst you steer and do the throttle then change gear knowing it will stay in that gear and not re-set. So it works perfectly

I use the sky sport T4YF and have moved the sticks from one side to the other(rotated through 90 deg),throttle and gears on the left ,steering on the right,with the right stick ,up and down locked off a fairly easy mod.

Good idea i never thought of that! Well i may go for the skysports radio gear seems workable so thanks for the advice!

I use the Hitec Laser 6.

Comes standard with floating, ratheting throttle on the left stick. Easily modded with no added parts to make it spring loaded/centered.
