Looks interesting. Really surprising there aren't more transmitters like this in my opinion... Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

I expected to see a 3' long antenna sticking out, with that styling (OG Traxxas tq anyone?) but overall I like it... shall we guess, $250ish? edit: I came across an image that showed 139 Euros, so more like $159 US. Last edited by TheLetterJ; 12-07-2018 at 01:43 PM. |

Shape definitely reminds me of the old 27mhz Traxxas radios Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk |

About time someone came out with a crawler specific radio. Good Lord, with the scale segment being so hot, you would think this would have been a no-brainer. It's a great start, how about a built-in LED on the front and a molded GoPro mount option? The Rugged Deluxe? |

Looks pretty nice. How much do receivers for Spektrum usually run?

| Re: Spektrum DX5 Rugged That's the big downfall of Spektrum IMO, I think the cheapest start at $40 *edit* My bad, looks like the cheapest is $30 (2-ch), $45 for 3-ch and up from there... Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Last edited by JSterrett; 12-07-2018 at 04:11 PM. |

| Re: Spektrum DX5 Rugged Spektrum is a top tier brand like Futaba and Sanwa. What do expect to pay for a receiver? My Futaba 3PM-X receivers were something like $80 each!

When you have a cheap(er) radio like FkySky the receivers are only $15 or so a pop. Much more manageable. I save my good radios for other things. But honestly these days I'd be fine without the good ones. | |
