Hi Every one,

I just finished my 1/10 Crawler, which is full metal and fully customized.

Now i am in a process to build my new Capo 8x8 tatra-cd15825.

I am really totally new in Stick Radio System, and i want to buy one for my new build. I need your help please to advice me what should i buy, if i want 24ch transmitter.

Should i buy the frsky horus x10s or frsky x9d plus? Or something else?
Also, i want you please to guide me since most the transmitter comes without receivers, which receivers should i buy to get the 24ch? And what parts also i need to buy to make the receiver ready to run?

Thank you very much for your help!

Why would you want to use an aerial transmitter for a surface vehicle? The models you mentioned are for planes & helicopters.

Thank for your answer.
Actually I need more channels.

It would be quite difficult to control acceleration/braking, as well as steering, via an aerial TX. Maybe you aren't aware that there ARE surface Txs with more than 4 channels. My Futaba 7PX has 7, Spektrum has a 6-channel model, and others have similar units. You shouldn't need more than 6 or 7 channels. Besides, aerial transmitters typically transmit on slower pulses, so response will also be slower. Your choice.

Yup, higher channel counts require stick radios, and it is common for RC construction equipment and such. I am using a 12ch RadioLink for my Tonka-TRX4, and it works pretty well. Most of these high channel radios are designed for aircraft, so you have to a little bit of translating to get everything working the way you want. And, just like ground radios, there are channels/functions that are assigned to a specific control and cannot be changed. There are some of us in the crawler community that use and prefer stick radios, especially for rigs that have rear-steer. I have tried it, my thumbs fight each other.

Just about any new radio system will come with a receiver, recommend buying one or two extras so you can use the radio with other vehicles, or as a spare if the original receiver fails.

This is my Tonka-TRX4 radio:

There are old-schoolers out that that will scream bloody murder for using an aircraft radio for a surface RC. Back in the day when there were a limited number of channels it was an issue, if you accidently got on the same channel as someone flying near by you could cause that person to crash. With today's 2.4ghz technology, that really isn't an issue anymore, so there is no big deal with using aircraft radios for ground RCs.
