Default radio systems

What system do you use and like using while operating your scaler/crawler?

I'm getting ready to build one so I figured let's find out, I've never really used more then a 2 channel system.

I use a spectrum dx3c on all my trucks and have never had any issues with it! And it's. Nice on the wallet too!

I use a Futaba 4PK-S. A leftover from when I raced. Does pretty much anything you would want and then some.

To use a winch or dig you need 3 or more channels. Rear wheel steering or dual ESC for MOA takes mixing.

A low cost, good quality radio is the hacked GT3B. It works really well for the price.

Flysky GT3B

The Futaba 4PLS is a great radio and will do everything you ever need. But is pretty spendy.

Futaba 4pl works for me. I've used a 4pls and it's the same radio with a couple extra bells and whistles.

Flysky GT3C comes with a lipo, runs 10 vehicles and receivers are very cheap. No issues with the 2 I use. This saves a little money to spend on other goodies!

I was a little skeptical due to the price but I just got in my Flysky GT3C yesterday and first impressions and the little Ive used it yesterday evening its very nice for the money. The other selling point for me was the fact that extra receivers are only $7-$8, instead of $40-$50 hopefully it will hold up for awhile Ive read plenty of other members saying they have used theirs for years with no issues.
