I need to know what is the best/cheapest radio that allows you to adjust your throttle %. Im not looking for the fanciest radio just something to get the job done so i can install my CM motor. |

You just need to reduce the travel on your throttle channel. What radio do you have currently? |

EDIT: Just got to looking at specs again, unless you need a 3 pos 3rd channel the gt3b will do what you want http://www.hobbypartz.com/79p-gt3b-carradio-lcd.html Last edited by losikid; 03-28-2011 at 07:43 AM. | |

* Disclaimer * Take into account that I am a noob, so my views and knowledge are some what limited. I just picked up the RC4WD XR4 for $100.72 to my door. It is a basic 4ch that has limited adjustments. How ever it dose have some epa, expo and % adjustments on Ch 1 & 2. Ch 3 & 4 are 3 position but have no epa adjustments. I am going to use ch3 for my Dig II, and use ch4 for my 4ws (I will use a servo streacher for epa's on ch4) It is my first Digi, so I will learn about epa's, expo, and setting up a radio before I spend big bucks on a high $$$ whizzbang, do everything, mixing, dual esc top of the line radio. Just my .02 (for what it's worth) Smitty Last edited by XtrmTJ; 03-28-2011 at 12:02 PM. |

I've got a Futaba 2PL 2.4ghz for some of my stuff, plenty of adjustability, cost @ $110, spare receivers @ $60. The 3PL runs @ $10-$20 cheaper, and has cheaper receivers, too. (not by much, but still) The fiance'e has a Spectrum DX3S, it's nice enough, but it's a lot to take on until you learn how much of the programming you can disregard. The Futaba has one-way programming, meaning you hafta scroll through all the options to go "backwards", the Spectrum has a lot more back-n-forth navigating, useful if you do a lot of programming and know where you need to be in the menus. I like my basic "sport" radios, so the Futaba works fine for me. |
