|  what radio to get??
Hey guys help me out , what radio should I get ? I just picked up a XTM X crawler and I'm in need of a radio , for sure it has to be a 2.4 setup but I also don't want to spend a fortune. I would like something that will give me all the options I'm seeing in the video section 4WS, Crabwalk etc. thanks |

I'd say a Spektrum DX6 or 7. They have a lot of great functions. Many times you can find them new on Ebay without Rx or servos for a fairly low price. I got a new DX7 for $160 on Ebay last year.

go with airtronics rds8000 crawler I love mine, works awesome and has a set up sheet for the x crawler, all the sticks are self centering and is 8 channels so you could use it for a scale rig too if you like, you can also find them with a 2nd reciever for free. just my 2 pennies

RC4WD sells two different 2.4ghz raidios. Big offroader and The crawler radio (Directly from your radio you can do crab walk, two wheel steering and all wheel steering). I own the big offroader and it works great! Best buy ever! http://www.rc4wdstore.com/2/index.ph...8db5834c64322a Last edited by grimgard; 08-12-2009 at 01:34 PM. |

If you can live with sticks, the Spektrum DX6i is an excellent radio.If you want a budget 6ch stick radio, the Turborix (A.K.A HobbyKing and FlySky) is excellent value. It'll do everythink that the Spektrum does, for 1/4 the price. It doesn't have a display, so you need to connect it to a PC to program it. You can buy them direct from Hong Kong for less than $40. Makes a good base for a pistol conversion as well. |

Quick Question: With the RC4WD crawler radio does it offer a brake drag option and also does it have a built in failsafe?

DX6 or DX6i hands down  If you are on a real tight budget grab the DX5 for $99 new.
