7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Hi, quite a lot of new car transmitter brands show up on the market, Hobby Porter now after Dumbo RC some days ago. Anyway, interesting, 50 bucks for 7-ch, rx, gyro, crawler mode, display: Hobby Porter HP007 https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/atta...entid=11981745 https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/atta...entid=11981747 https://www.rockcrawler.de/wcf/attac...769-hp-s1-jpg/ https://www.rockcrawler.de/wcf/attac...768-hp-s2-jpg/ https://www.rockcrawler.de/wcf/attac...770-hp-s3-jpg/ Link to manual (PDF): https://www.hobbyporter.com/u_file/1...e55eba0bdf.pdf Walter |

Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Yea… but with more channels and options ;) Walter |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Kinda gimmicky, but i'll admit the flashlight feature COULD be useful in some situations... |

I think it's an odd feature to have in a radio. Not a bad feature, but odd and, as you say, gimmicky. But if it's an LED so it should last a long time. This radio does have some nice features, but I've never heard of this brand before. Price, once it hits the states, and reliability will be key. Oh and Dumbo RC? :shock: :lmao: |

me not, either. Have been told, it is the own brand of this shop: https://www.hobbyporter.com/c/radios-amp-recievers_0407 Walter |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Interesting a 2s and 3s battery checking ports at the bottom? That could be handy. https://www.hobbyporter.com/u_file/1...3b01aed96f.jpg |

Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Well I'm in the market for a new radio system. Don't need 7 channels but think it's worth the gamble? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Honestly, this looks like it could work for me. I have a mt4 for comping but for my scaler fleet this could do the job. |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 I’m looking to upgrade my RedCat Tx/Rc, for the price, I might give this s try. 👍🏼 |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Like jato said we need to see if a retailer picks this up.. If this is the price once a retailer starts to sell I'll give it a try. It is cheaper than receivers for my mt4 and I'm running out of model memory! |

but this is a retailer link. So they pick it up. Walter |

Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 5 Attachment(s) Mine showed up today and I will say I think the features will definitely be worth the $50. The tx feels cheap but no less than my flysky gt3c which has survived a long time. It looks like it is set up to run a Lipo pack if you want and it does have the plugs to check Lipo charge on the bottom of the tx. I installed a servo on each of the 7 channels to see how they are set up. 1 - steering 2 - throttle (funny thing is the top of the tx lights up when you move the throttle) 3 - momentary switch (moves when you hold the button in then returns to original position when you release) 4 - 3 position switch 5 & 6 - linear dials 7 - 2 position switch Now for a couple videos and pics. https://youtu.be/y-11Q7viltw https://youtu.be/-opoil15QPM |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Ok. The ch3 momentary switch is used to control the steering mix for 4ws if you have it in crawler mode. Works like a charm. I have multiple rigs that can use this feature. Much easier than doing this via a trim button on my mt4 and not knowing which mode I'm in. A short video to show it in action: https://youtu.be/Ha2tkQp02d4 |

Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Just need to find someone that sells receivers. Haven't found a source for those yet. |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Pretty cool |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Receiver 7-channel with gyro now (soon) available, for 10 - 12 bucks (depending on usage of coupons or points): Hobby Porter HP-007-R https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/atta...entid=12065869 Wit a spare receiver for about 10 € this system now is really interesting for me ;) Walter |

Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Looks like a a very complete cool transmitter. Couple of questions. Did you do a range test yet? Is the receiver case easy to open to make it waterproof? Can the AA batteries be changed for a small LiPo battery? |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 very nice jebster, thx for the informative video! |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Things are looking good!

Rx case looks like it can be opened up pretty easily. The AA battery case is connected via a jst connector so you could easily swap it for a small lipo. But I don't believe I saw a lvc setting in the menu so it you do go lipo you may need to install a low voltage alarm. |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 1 Attachment(s) I took another look at the box and it does say the tx can be powered by a 2s Lipo. Look at the right side of the picture towards the top. |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Ordered one hopefully it will be here in a week. Stoked!!! Thanks for this thread.. |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Ordered one as well |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 There was even a flashsale now for only two days - 41 US, 37 €... pffff… So cheap. Anyway, using some points or coupons will be as cheap. Walter |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 So how does this stand up next to a hacked flysky? Looking to get more channels and get a less expensive remote then my current set up so I don't have to worry about it on the trails. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk |

After setting this all up it worked fine. I can say the mt-4 seems smoother in the throttle and steering response. almost like the switching rate is faster which gives smoother control. but it is barely noticeable and for a scaler definitely tolerable. one strange thing. I have another 4ws rig I was going to swap over. if you are doing 4ws the ch3 cannot be reversed. I found this out because in my other rig both servos face forward versus the more standard one forward/one backward config for a 4ws rig. this means when I try to do rear steer only is it sending the rig the opposite way. it also means the mode c and d are reversed from what the graphic on the display says. this was annoying enough for me I decided not to swap over. no fault of the radio system, just a nit. I have a couple other rigs that can use more than 4 channels I plan on switching over to in the future. I can now see having 2-speed transmissions and multiple winches (front and rear) all on the same rig. plus I do some work converting old Tonka construction vehicles to rc so having the extra channels opens up many options. for any of my go fast stuff i'll stick with my mt-4 for the fine tuning and adjustability but this new radio is proving to be worth the $50 bucks for me. |

Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Wow, pretty interesting! :) Rockhuggers flashlight modded Flysky has been pretty useful! |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Ok. I may have found a flaw that greatly reduces the utility of this system. I have to confirm but it appears you cannot adjust the EPA on channels 5, 6 & 7. I was trying to use the 2 position ch7 button for a servo running a 2 speed transmission. No matter what EPA values I set it continued to move full throw. While not ideal I figured I would just use either the ch5 or 6 dials as long as I could set the endpoints. No dice. So, this will seriously impact some plans I had for the system. For the price it is still better than other budget systems but I'm a little disappointed. |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 jebster, your continuing input on this radio is greatly appreciated "thumbsup". I am waiting for mine to arrive on Monday. That is kind of a major flaw in design if there are no epa's for aux. channels, it must have been Friday at 5'oclock and they said "eh Foook it... close enough, ship it" Does this radio have the ability for firmware updates? |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 Quote:
I don't know if it can take a firmware update. Not sure how I would check. If an update helps that would be awesome. I like the layout of buttons and dials. I did send hobby porter an email. We'll see how quickly they respond. |
Re: 7Ch Car Transmitter with Display, Crawler Mode for 50 Bucks: Hobby Porter HP007 I just looked at the manual posted on the first page this thread and it says EPA for 6 channels. Maybe try this cut and pasted from the manual: pg.13 This function is used for set the maximum servo travel limiter of each channel and adjust the maximum servo travel limiter according to the model structure. Feature Set: • This function can adjust the maximum servo travel limiter of 6 channels, and the desired value can be set between between 0 and 120%. • Under the boot menu, enter the selection menu by pressing the scroll wheel: a. Turn the wheel to the (EPA) menu and press the wheel to enter the menu operation. b. Select the channel which need to be adjusted. c. Select the wheel (LFU or RBU) . At this point, the percentage is 100% (the default value of the system), and then set the required value by rotating the wheel key. d. After setting, press BACK button to return to the main page and save. |
