Need a new Transmitter

[DayRider]

Not having much luck at the moment with my gear. My Trans' has packed in! Thing is cash flow is a bit low at the present time, but I need a new set, any ideas?

3 channels will do.

Are you in US ? Jenny’s RC ( a “kit breaker “ on the east coast ) usually has specktrum SLT3 radio out of RTR kits for cheap. It’s comparable and backwards compatible with the old Tactic 3 channel. I have one in my Pumpkin right now .

I love mine 

I just checked they have some in stock under $25USD

This one is pulled from an Arrma RTR .

P.S. If you are not in North America, I think they still ship globally but I would contact their customer service to see what proves and methods are.

I'm in the the north of Scotland but I will check them out, thanks for your reply mate.

If not from them, that is still a good, inexpensive 3 channel  transmitter/RX combo. 
You can search Banggood as well

If that other one doesn't work out, cheap and 3 channels really means a FlySky GT3C. Its worth the extra money for the C over the B as it comes with a lipo instead of using 8 AA batteries

Flysky GT3C battery operated is about $30  with the LIPO is $50 here in us.

Not sure about Flysky I think the springs the steering are weak, I'm not a fan.

I have just bought the absima steer wheel radio, it has 2 receivers and was less than £70 from modelsport. I havent tried it yet, but will be doing soon.

I got an absima two stick jopbby last year. One run with i now the battery cover won`t stay on and the throttle sticks every couple of pushes. Once biten twice shy I`m afraid.

I`ve got a planet TS2+2 that seems ok. the third channel is a three way toggle switch but seems ok so far and i`m hoping it works for three speed shifting

I'd go with a Radiolink RC4GS or 6GS, depending on which one you can fit into your budget. I upgraded to an RC6GS from a GT3C and it is night and day the difference. While the GT3C isn't a bad transmitter, it's a little dated now and I've had issues with range and steering springs breaking. So far the RC6GS has held up and the receivers are absolute incredible as well for only $20. 7 Channels, can handle up to 10v of power, and also even have a telemetry port for battery voltage and a gyro which I've found isn't too great.

We bought three Futaba T2HR (2.4Ghz) sets last year. They are cheap, reliable and rugged. No frills, basic stuff but more than adequate for what we need. The ergonomics are great if you like sticks and we just bought loads of receivers for all our cars so we only need one tranny for our entire fleet. We don't like wheels, the kids surprisingly hate them too, so limited choice of sticks but the Futaba sets are great value.

Thanks i'll take a wee look.

If you go for Futaba or Sanwa you can get compatible receivers from Banggood for about US25 each which is less than half the price of originals. I've tried a few out and they work fine, no issues at all.

I was thinking about getting a Sanwa MT-S.

Right ok,

Sometimes head up that way, we've a sister plant near Culloden, by the airport.
