Radio's and Receivers

[Scaler7]

I am currently building a trail finder 2 with two steering servo's for shifter and steering, I;m using an taking crawler esc, a 3racing winch and 4 white LED lights and 2 rear lights controlled by axial simple led controller with lights. Also plane on adding an gear head rc six shooter led light bar. Does anyone have any idea what radio and receiver I should use because of all the things I have to control?

A hacked GT3B or GT3C has up to 8 channels, that is more than enough.

A decent 4 channel may cover you (like a Futaba 4PL/4PKS) but at higher cost.

I do not know enough about Spektrum.

You know what, I have decided to scrap the winch because I don't like the bumper. Plus I wanna go with an DX3E spectrum transmitter cause I love spektrum. So I only need 3 controllable channels but I just need to extra channels on the receiver to just power up my lighting. Any ideas?

I would look at the spektrum sr3300t its the telemetry receiver and it has 4 extra ports on it that should power up your accessories.

It is still a 3 channel RX. The extra ports are for exactly what you said, telemetry. They also can only handle 3.3v a channel, anything more and you will fry the RX.

If you ever plan on using your radio for more than 1 truck, you will wanna get the DX3C, S, or R. The "E" doesn't have model memory. I simply have all my lights wired to a battery holder out of a mini flash light and a switch on it but then again I don't already have a light controller.

So would LED's fry the recover or no?
