Default Radio Options

Will be returning racing after a break of 6 months or so and need some help on which tranny to go for.

I did have have a Ko Universe 3, but will be on more of a budget this time, I can use sticks or wheel, the wheel option would probably be a Spektrum DX3C, but I have a slight preference for sticks.

Just woundered what good options are out there, I would like the option to run with micro receiver, if possible.

Is the Core CR151 Code 2.4 FHSS at £70 any good? or would something like the Sanwa Gemini X be better?

cheers

Would look for Futaba 3GR or 3VCS. 3GR has most of the functions you will need. 3VCS has more !

Plus you can use the FrSky TFR4 2.4 receiver which is about ½ the size of the Futaba one and is rock solid

The Ansmann W6 is more than capable and has come down to £50, spare receivers are only £25 too.

Futaba all the way. Rock solid, bullet proof and easy to use. Arguably the best radio set out there, and with FRSky TFR4 receivers at £24 each you need to add up the total before you decide a cheap Tx is the way to go. 3VCS on here about £200 for a good one. HTH

Sorry perhaps I wasn't clear in my previous post and maybe this isn't what Slowone was referring to but that Ansmann W6 for £50 includes receiver. I was just pointing out that spares were only about £25.

If I have that wrong though and I've misread what I've quoted above please ignore me.
