budget of $150. need 4ch
 

I'm looking for a remote pistol grip or not ( as long as it has the return spring). I need 4ch and I'm looking to only spend $150 (maybe alittle more if its really worth it) I know its not a big budget. And NO traxxas. I have 2 traxxas remotes and I used a buddies futaba and it makes the traxxas feel like junk. I also don't like how you have to set up the traxxas.

Here is a 6-channel for cheap! http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...2_Mode_2_.html

If you are dead set on a pistol grip, then go for either a Nomadio React or for a bit more, Futaba 4pl.

Cheap radio's feel like cheap radios. If you want the Futaba feel it's something you are going to have to spend the $200 on really.

I recently bought a flysky gt3b its 3 channel but you can get a hack kit from losikid where you can have up to 6 channels. Oh and you can get it prehacked for under $100

You can get the 4pl for under $200 @ Tower if you are a member of their saver club."thumbsup"

I just picked up the Futaba 4PL.. $199+shipping from RPP. Im sure I'll be more than happy with it for a long time."thumbsup"

Up to 8 channels"thumbsup"

"thumbsup"

what's the quality of the flysky? How would I get a hacked one? What reciever would I use with that to get 6-8ch?

I really like the futaba 4pl though. I think ill wait another few weeks and just get that.

i use an RC4WD XR-4 radio, love it! while it does have a little cheaper feel at only $90 its well worth it! it has a screen with lots of nice features and is super user friendly, as well it also has 1 model memory.

and with the spare $60 you can get 2 more rx's

That radio lacks seriously needed features. I would strongly suggest not purchasing that for the money. The GT3 even feel better than that radio. The GT3 feels flimsy and cheap but the XR4 feels worse.

I am almost sure Losi kid can hook you up with everything you need. And in my opinion the flysky is a great radio and for the price cannot be beat. However I am not used to the expensive radios I have ran tq3 radios on most of my Crawlers and compared to that 100% better.

The traxxas radios even make the flysky's feel like junk. The flyskys are fine for a cheap radio but that's it.

You will be happiest with the 4pl I can guarantee.

I own a flysky, it's alright for a loaner type deal, but I wouldn't buy another one.

I have quite a few radios at my house (Dx3r, 4pl, React, GT3B, DX6) and they all have a similar "feel" in quality. Sure some were less expensive than others, but that doesnt mean that they lack any quality.....

The XR4 you can get about a 1/4 twist out of the top the radio vs the foot of the radio.

+1

I'd like to know this too. Obviously the "regular" 3 channel Rx is dirt cheap, but what Rx would you use once you've done the 4-8 channel hack?

Edit: Duh......found the answer in 30 seconds. get outta RC for a couple years, and you become a noob all over again....LOL.
