I like my Radiolink radios. They're inexpensive and they work great.

I’ve had the Radiolink for about 18 months works great for me.

I'm currently using the Hitec Lynx 4s radio. I'm really happy with it.

While not new models, A hacked FlySky GT3B or GT3C is still probably the least expensive & most popular budget radio @$40-$60. It's widely available with inexpensive easily found 3ch,6ch, & 8ch receivers.
Tons of mixing options, up to 8 channels, every button can be remapped to another channel.
The GT3C with a lipo is the more preferred over the 2, grab a spare 1s lipo for it and you're set.
Hard to beat feature set for the $.
I've been running one hacked for about 8 years and picked up a spare not long after. No problems with either.

Yes yes! For motor mixing and super steering.. The Lever on the MT-4/MT-4s is the easiest, simplest way to go!

RadioLink Electronic Limited
It would appear they do with an update. Now I need to figure out how to update my RC6GS.

Not to my knowledge.. but... Any FHSS2 or higher RX works for us..
You only need a 2ch for a pro and 3ch for a super.. The TX comes with a 4ch..

So you can get them cheap enough..

And.. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PUSH ANY BUTTONS!!!!!! [emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2]

I've been running a TrackStar TS4g with no real issues.... except for run away throttle when the batteries fell out!

Radiolink RC4GS user here for just about two weeks only but it's been great so far. For the features and price, I'm very happy with it. I bought a LiFe 6.6v batt for it.

Are you mixxing 2 escs for a pro 2.2 rig with it?

Nope. Using the TX for two cars though, an on-road FF03 and semi-crawler/rally CC01. But there's also a programmable mix function on the RC4GS.

Is it crazy to just grab a takeoff Traxxas TQi (the one with the 2speed rocker and locker switch) for ~$50 over buying a different, new radio?

I'm building my second crawler soon and find no issues with the TQi setup on my TRX4, but I haven't explored it too deeply. Is there anything I'm missing out on if I go this route instead of the Flysky or something?

Well depends on the model you're considering to get. The R6FG RX has 6 channels and a gyro (can be useful too). It comes stock with either the RC4GS or RC6GS.

Before I made my order on the 4GS, I read and watched a lot of reviews and comparisons between the Radiolink & Flysky. I went with Radiolink as it suits my needs. I'm using the TX for 2 cars. An on-road and a crawler/rally set up CC01. I didn't need the 6GS for the 6 channels. Only need 4 for the extra channel and auxiliary. But the 6GS is better suited for crawlers.

I have a new take out TQi 4 channel from a Summit.

Hoping to use it in my trail rig and use the extra channels for LED and winch usage.
