What's the best budget friendly Tx for 4WS (radilink RC4S?)

[Alonjp]

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a new transmitter on a budget which will work with 4ws.
I would like to have at least three steering options (front, front+rear, crab) and will appreciate having also rear only option.
My budget is low, around 50$.
I put my eyes on RadioLink RC4S that have 4ch with mixing but am not sure if and how to operate it to work with 4ws.

Does anyone is using this Tx for 4ws?
Do you have any other suggestions for a cheap Tx that will do the job?

Thanks,

[robertjpjr]

FLYSKY RC FS-GT3C 3ch 2.4GHz LCD GT3C Silver Transmitter & GR3C Receiver TS896 :: Transmitter :: RCECHO

There's an orange one as well.

Thanks,
I familiar with the Flysky GT3C and without the hacking mod it doesn't have the mixing mode needed for 4WS.
It's hard for me to put my hands on the hacking kit here in Israel and if I could it will be more than 120$ for the whole package.
And even than I don't sure that it's a better option than the radiolink RC4S since the RC4S is 4ch compare to 3ch and doesn't need for any moding which is illegal in here.

I believe that for 59$ shipped the RC4S is a good deal.
After reding the manuals I tend to think that it's possible to program the remote to work with 4WS and also with dual ESC (like a DIG) for moa crawler.
It's very similar to Spectrum DX4.

Does someone have any experience with this radio?

You would be comparing apples to oranges...

Can you elaborate on this please.
In which way they are so different?
Do you have any hacked GT3C in stock and for how much (shipped)?

Thanks

A 4 channel stick radio will allow you to steer front and rear axle totally independent of each other...
... And also allow for separate speeds with MOA.

The stock transmitter has the 3rd channel locked as a simple on-off. You can't use it for steering.

The hacked radio is fully programmable to do pretty much whatever you please, with many channels. To learn how to do the programming can be a bit elaborate though, unless you stick to the most common set-ups.

Thanks,
I went ahead with the Radiolink RC4S.
Hope for the best..
