Default Need a BUDGET Friendly radio

I'm Looking to buy a BUDGET friendly Radio and receiver for my AX10.
I'm Running Stock Axial Stuff right now and The radio's Cheezy IMO.
Looking for something that's Great for Crawling yet still Budget friendly.
I need one that's User Friendly also since Im still pretty new to the RC hobby.
Pretty Much Want the Best Bang for the buck that A Noob can use and doesnt take a rocket scientist to set up and program everything.

Well, best bang for the buck has to be the new FlySky GT3B.

Its a 2.4ghz 3 channel radio for about 35 bucks! The extra receivers are less than 10 bucks each and there is a program hack that you can get TONS of adjustments on it. It can easily run Dual esc's and 4 wheel steer. http://www.hobbypartz.com/79p-gt3b-carradio-lcd.html
Hobby Partz is a good company to deal with and they ship fast!!


Look at the GT3B Hack thread here in the electronics section and you'll see what I'm talking about. GT3B Hack Question and Answer Thread



BUT, you don't have to hack the radio to use it. Its just helpful if you want to run dig and stuff like that. But even then, if you are running an AX10, you can just do a 2 way switch for front dig and be set!

FW-Revison: 0.4.1; Number of Channels: 6 CH; Voltage Regulator Upgrade: Yes please; Steering Wheel Bearing: Yes please; 2S Lipo Mod: Yes please; Additional RX: None; Hack Options: Flash FW, Install Header, and Include a hack kit;

Yes it includes the radio, should still have the brand new Styrofoam scent on it when you get it too. Alll i do is take it out of the box, hack it, turn it on, run some diagnostics, and calibrate it, then put it back in and ship. I try my best to make sure its as new as possible.
