| Pistol grip radio for Mountain Rider (Mountaineer)
Just bought a Mountain Rider, and I'm not very fond of stick radios. I've been reading around and it seems a decent pistol grip that I can use to control the Mountain Rider 3-speed is the FlySky GT3C when hacked? I'd just like to know how the hacked version of this radio is for the Mountain Rider/Bruiser 3-speed. I'm reading the hack can do a lot more too, but I haven't gotten that far into researching the GT3C yet. |

The gt3c radio once it's hacked can shift the Tamiya truck no problem. depending on the receiver you choose, you can have up to 8 channels if I recall correctly, I have 12 of my cars hooked up to 2 of these radios, and they work great.

My hacked GT3B does just fine. Great radio, but the hack takes a little geek love to get used to. A Traxxas Summit TQ4 radio will work as well with a bit of tinkering.

I use a Futaba 4PK with my Bruiser. I assigned channel 3 to the dial and set it to 3 position, -90, 0, + 90 and reduced the end points (EPA) to adjust the servo throw. Dial is a little sensitive at time, but works fine. |

GT3B or GT3C works well (I've had and used them both, still using a FT3C on one truck), but Spektrum DX4S would be nicer and much easier to setup and adjust out on the trail. https://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/...rodId=SPM4000C |
