The ttx300 was an epic RTR radio. Out of all the radios I sold when I moved to a multiple model memory radio, I kept the ttx300

I've been really happy with my 3pv. Swapped out the Stx200 instantly on my Talion. Doesn't glitch and battery lasts forever! Feels awesome 👍

Nice review.. I've been using Futaba since 1984 and never had an issue with either surface or aircraft radios! My original still works fine...

Great information Vas! The world of transmitters can be overwhelming. Nice job breaking it all down. 👍🏻👍🏻

Nice video, you and I pretty much agree on the various radios. The 4PM is pretty darn awesome.

Thank you. My first radio was a Futaba. 30 years ago. Can't wait to upgrade to new Futaba's. Been using Tactic have way too many radios. Thank you for the great info 👍🏁👻👍.

Thank you you taught me a lot I’ve been in the hobby for about three years now

I got a radio link rc 6gs for 40 pound UK 6ch build in gyro amazing functionality honestly unreal controller for the money the range is massive 👍

Good video Vas,thanks for the info

That's alot of radios 😱 I have had (10) of the same ones 🤣 Great info, nice work 👍👌

Great video Vas! Thanks

Very timely video as I am looking to build a crawler, and want to buy a radio to replace the standard one on my other RC's. Leaning towards the Futaba 4PM, and I think you sealed the deal!

My DX3R is amazing never had a issue and I just bought Energizer rechargeable AAs and they last forever . But like you said everyone likes there own thing. Great review.

Best RC Radio video on the tube. No one talks about the range difference between brands thanks . I have used Futaba for 30 years, I have a 4PV and there cheap stick radio for that vintage feel.

Been running the flysky nb4 for a couple of years. Racing, rock crawling/racing and bashing. Only issue I've had is in cold conditions (snow) where the foam on the steering wheel can slip.

Great review of the radios I’m going to get a futaba thank you

I've been running the fly sky noble and its a work of art!! I'm usually a name brand snob😣 but the noble was so unbelievably good and different from anything else on the market that I had to put my bad habits aside and bite the bullet on the fly sky. I highly recommend it ... awesome vid vas!! Your my favorite rc youtuber of all time! 😬🤙

Really nice review. I have the Futaba 4PL and it is the only radio I keep. WIth 40 memories, I couldn't really justify getting another one. Really like how you bulk up the grip with self-amalgamating tape. My only issue is that it covers up the SW1 Push button. Like you said, the antenna did break on mine although it wasn't me who broke it. After a bit of heat shrink, it is solid as a tank.

My wife spoiled me when she got her taxes and upgraded me to the FlySky Nobel or whatever its called now. $250 and $40/receiver well worth the upgrade!!! 4 cars on it so far and still room for more cars/boats etc. I love mine!!! User friendly, set up so you can switch from a right handed driver to a left handed driver!!!Great range, 10 hours of rechargeable battery, it'll charge my phone, and the settings and features are freaking amazing!!!

You forgot receiver prices plays a big part in the upgrade, but, we all have Google and eBay. Lol Great video Vas. 👍👍👍

Great review! I’m thinking about buying my first upgraded radio, and have been leaning towards the futaba 4pm .

When I first got into the hobby a couple of years ago I bought a spektrum dx2e for the kit I was building because I didn't know any better. I quickly realized that for $50 the Flysky gt3c was a much better option for the money. I sold my spektrum and haven had an issue since.

I used the flysky gt3c for years, it always worked well for me and it was cheap. I recently upgraded to the flysky nb4, love it so far! The worst part about it is trying to find receivers and telemetry sensors for it. About the only place to find them is in China. I’ve had hit and mix experiences when ordering stuff from there. I managed to get enough receivers but I’m still trying to get ahold of some temp sensors.

I have an airtronics mp4 radio it works very good. I have used it for racing and bashing. As soon as I pull the trigger the car is going. Also there are loads of settings so you can adjust the car while you are driving

Spare foam for radio wheels, Bunnings round tube foam hard desidy fits straight on. Obviously cut to correct width. I wrap the grips with army camo pattern cloth tape, 5 meter rolls stretches out to 25 meters, washable and reusable, sticks to itself and only $2 online. Comes in heaps of colors.

i got the Flysky GT5 and i love it. best bang for the buck for me.

I have the Futaba 3pv and it's a really great radio

My weapon of choice Flysky NB4 and anything by Futaba hands down.

I just bought a flysky FS GT5 I think the price point was good for the features. Need to wait for it to arrive now.

Thanks for sharing! Do you know of a multi memory transmitter that supports the SLT protocol so one could have 1 transmitter for lots of tactic receivers?

I bought the Spektrum DX5R, and it seemed quite difficult to use at first. My biggest gripe was that it wasn't binding well to receivers. After a firmware update, it seemed a bit better, but I'm wondering if a Futaba would have been a better choice. I've not had issues with range, but I'm not a speed run kind of guy. At least the DX5R allowed the use of a battery pack which was one of the things I was looking for, along with an adjustable wheel positioning option.

Still rocking the Spektrum DX3R after 10 years. Been dropped dozens of times, replaced the antenna, upgraded display to have backlight mod. Never lost connection, ever. Only dickie thing is the roller menu is over sensitive now.

Nice video..I like the 4PM as well..I don't own one but I feel it's the best way to get a great radio for great price..keep bashing..

The tactic was/is a good radio... setting them up was a touch clunky, but once done, they were great for a simple model... we have 2 that came with RTR Axial trucks, and I liked them enough that I bought another for a vehicle that didn't need expo and a lot of programming... I have a handful of radios, but am now researching for at least 1 more... my son is getting fairly competitive in offroad racing and I want to get him a good radio just for his race buggies and trucks. Considering the 4PM, but leaning toward the Sanwa or DX5PRO route...

I agree my DX5C has a power on off button problem and the scrolling wheel is real sensitive but works good for my basher cars my speed cars futaba for me like you said I wish the reciever where more affordable but it’s ok and I did pick up the rugged but the scrolling button drive me crazy so I have one car on it lol love the review 💯💯🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏

Hey Vas. Give this a try. Use rechargable NIZN batteries in your Spectrum 5C. The added voltage gives the range a huge boost. I have ZERO issues with the 5C range after going to those cells a few years ago.

Great vid, and I hope you and Kev become friends after this.

love your videos this was very informative i do have a question the spektrum dx5pro or the futaba 4pm im running no prep drag racing and crawling i love the futaba quality wise iv had a dx5c iv never owed a futaba

Great timing this video. I just got back into RC cars since the early 90’s and there had been a lot to learn about how to charge LIPO batteries and so on. Just received my Arrma Typhon 3S today and my god the STX2 feels so cheap. That thing will still feel cheap even in a toy grade car. I’m pretty much down to the same 2 Futabas and the DX5C on this video. Also looked at the Sanwa MT-S and the MT-44 but not many places sell them here in Aus so I think that could be an issue in the future. I will be getting either the 3PV or the 4PM however not sure if it’s because of the COVID-19 lockdown, most Australian online stores with reasonable prices are sold out. Must have been a lot of online shopping going on. Thank you for this video.

Futaba is number 1 in high quality radios I use mine only on my race buggy’s then my DX5C which is awesome it fits my hand perfect and for my rtr cars I love the Tactic 300 I have about 20 of them.

So, Sanwa?! 😆 Nice video! 👍🏼

The FlySky GT5 is a great multi model transmitter for its price!

Vas deliering the good content first thing in the morning

You should try the fkysky noble NB4 that's a quality transmitter. DUMBORC transmitter with gyro is a cheap great little set up

Got a GT5. Love it. Amazing for the price.

I’m a spektrum shagger now, more due to the fact I’m too far down the street to turn back with the amount of receivers I’m running. They are really good but loads of headaches. I have always managed to solve my issues but it can be really annoying. The range and control is top notch. I have a dx6r I got for a third of the price, my advice on the 6 is avoid. I’ve gone back to my 4pro.

Apparently the lower Arrmas now come with an STX-3 controller. Not sure how much more different that is from the 2 version, besides having an extra channel. Give that one a look and let us know. I personally didn't like the Tactic one, layout wise at least, and in fact I find the STX2 to be more conveniently designed and has more to offer with the TH dual rate and power % limiter on it. Will give the 4pm a shot with your reco though 👍🏽

That zd racing controller is dumborc very good range for the price 👍🏻

I use the dx5pro. Awesome Radio but very big und clunky. But function is perfect. In the past i used the futaba 4pv. Also awesome Radio. In my last runs on the most arrma cars i used the stx2. The quality is very cheap but you can get a feel to it. Surely dsmr is a lot faster but i don’t have any stx2 failed on me.

I've not had any issues with my Flysky GT3C yet, for the money it's proved to be a great transmitter. If you ever get one to review it would be interesting to see what you think of the Flysky NB4 Noble.

Great video, at the start I was really hoping to see the Flysky FS-GT5 there, especially now that you said you’ve owned their older models and didn’t like them. I’m really curious to see what your thoughts would be on the new one. I was shopping around for something to replace my DX2E Infraction radio and bought a GT5 with 2 gyro receivers for $90 including shipping and couldn’t be happier. IMO this radio beats any Spektrum in the price range by a long shot. I only wish I could program features to a certain channel but for the price it’s hard to complain.

Great video, I’ve just bought an Arrma truck with one of these bad Spektrum radios, I don’t have a lot of money to spend. What could you suggest in the Spektrum range, I was interested in the radio from Spektrum that you spoke of, but are there others from that brand that are any quality? Thank you Eric.

Love the look of the futaba4PM, price?

Hey Vas. thinking of getting a Losi DBXL-E 2.0 and buying a Spektrum DX5 Rugged to go with it. Do you think that a good combo? Cheers.

Nice rc good

Where did you get the hand grips?

I’m looking for a remote for my Tamiya Rc Car.It has a 3speed controller and 2 servos (1 for speed control). A traxxas obviously doesn’t work. But which one will work? I don’t care how it feels,just so it doesn’t stick.It doesn’t get 100% power.

ive the radiolink...have 4 trucks programmed ,range is rediculassss antenna tho.............

I see alot of the time you've driven mainly 1/8 scale, I do think it'd be interesting to see you do the ZD racing 9106, especially on the bmx track, not the fastest out there but I've seen 3s and 2s runs, but nobody has really taken it to a real track and shown how well it jumps, it's not too bad budget wise and I've done a bit of research on it

Futaba 4pm would be my choice for an upgrade, buy once cry once , totally worth it

For my 3 Arrmas 6S V4 models I want to upgrade to a fast and responsive after market transmitter with low efforts to take. I can spend 200-300 bucks on that.... for bashing and blasting, no crawling and no racing. What’s your recommendation?

I just bought a typhon 6s v4 which comes with the terrible radio u mentioned,i ordered a fs with receiver, my q.? is can i swap receivers and use my upgrade Radio with the Arrma Typhon?

The dumborc radio has more range than the dx5c and can be used for long range speed runs i personally have the 6 channel version with gyro on my kraton 4s and i am really happy with it

Ok, I've ordered a RadioLink RC6GS V2, now how do I rain proof/water proof this? Thanks.

Are there any radios made in the USA?

I just bought the arrma typhon 6s and the arrma senton 3s blx. I put 3s 50c batteries in each and the senton is way faster, i can barely control it. The typhon handles great. Is it normal for the senton to that much faster?

With the new update the noble is the killer. Easy to use, confortable and many things to srtup. Not to speak about the big recharble batterie

Got the dx5c

Hey! At 17:55, I recognise that, came with my HPI Trophy truggy. I actually have a spare from my old Hpi nitro buggy unused in the shed. Can I reprogram that and pair it to my Arrma Senton? I think it's a bit nicer than the Senton stock transmitter. Aside from that I'll look into the futaba 3pv/4pm 👍

Futaba 4 pls won on eBay 81.00 love it so far, using it with my Arrma Typhon.

Is the Futaba 4PM SR ,Or Non SR a BIG diff..jw..??

Recently bought a 3PV to replace the STX2 for my Kraton - well worth the upgrade! Night and day difference and an absolute necessity as the STX is without a doubt the worst radio I've used. I installed it into a much slower Kyosho Rage that had a broken radio, and even in that it is horrible. With the amount of lag present using it in a 6S vehicle is a recipe for disaster.

Dumborc is the best. for its price

For the price, the Spektrum DX5C is very hard to beat. The DX6R has left, and the T7PXR is back.

Yes I like 3pv but pita I put on model 2 and all hell I forgot what's what didnt get use that rig that day lol

I had a long break from RC and am looking to get back in. I dipped out when 95% of ppl at the track were already running 2.4GHz but it wasn't uncommon to see a 40MHz FM user in between. Yes that guy was me. The price of changing everything over to 2.4GHz was daunting to me back then, bc I had (well still have just haven't used them since then) a good few main cars I switched between. I was really hoping that after about 8 years, prices would've dropped a little. But looking at pricing online right now, that doesn't seem to be the case. Sure the transmitters themselves got a bit better, but stayed at about the same price. And the damn receivers are still the worst. Right now I'm trying to decide if I should settle for a Sanwa MT-S and call it a day, or if I should just go for a MT-44 or Futaba T4PM (both of which are available at about the same price here). I kept reading that Futaba receivers are much cheaper than the Sanwa ones but looking at online pricing that doesn't seem to be the case right now, is that a 'rona thing and will change later on or is it likely to stay this way? I really don't know...

The best cheap radio is the Flysky GT5. If your on a tight budget. I recommend saving furthing and stepping up to Futaba 3pv. If you can swing more or willing to save up longer go right to the 4pm. The radio is a one time purchase if you do it right. Better to have more functionality than you need and not need it than to advance and then find out you need something you don’t have. Then your left with one option. Upgrade again. If your not on a budget and you might want to get into racing or just want the best of the best. Futaba 7PX is second to none. I tried the Spektrum line and hated them. I even bought DX6R just to say I tried it and I literally used it one day and sold it and went to the 7PX. Tried to save a few hundred but ended up spending it anyway. When it comes to Radios and Chargers. It’s the couple items that you use everyday and can justify the cost as it will be a one time purchase. Icharger 406 Duo, and Futaba 7PX and done. Sure a bit out of most people’s range but I look at like I have them now and I never have to upgrade again. One and done.

heyy base are they all good for nitro buggy kyosho 1/8 and how come u don't like nitros dont u sell them at were u work. and keep up ur awesome work mate

Why the receivers of Futaba are so expensive? Its the main reason that kept me from buying one transmitter, to use with 3-4 of my models :/

I have a Kraton V4 6s , it had the DX2 which is really garbage. I got the Flysky GT-5 so far I like it. The gyro is adjustable and usable.

Thankyou

I am just wondering how came you havent tried sanwa/airtronics M17 or the futuba 7pxr or you might have video on both i am missing mate my aim is for racing off road buggies IC and electric i am tossing up between those 2 radio's would like some help on them thanks mate

Spektrum all the way! Iv been using a DX4c for about 10 years, never EVER had a dropout, no problems at all. Amazing radio!

Flysky all day. Got the Flysky NB4. It has a smal receiver and a bigger one. The small is fine for most uses but if you really need longer range the bigger one with antenna is better. The flysky gt-5 should be good too, but i haven't tried it plus the NB4 should be able to use 8 channels by now so once i get time to look into that my crawler will be using the nb4 too.

I use a futaba 4pv and it's a shame they dropped it & support. It is identical feel wise to the 7PX, think has even more features than the 4PM, but was too much price point wise.

Since the SRX200 is FHSS protocol can it be bound to the Fuataba 3PV? The radio can work with SHSS, FHSS ,and THSS protocol receivers...

i think Futaba are crap i use sanwa i dont know why u dont have any there? have a look at the sanwa m17

Talk about that new redcat controller thanks

I have Traxxas would I lose TSM if I switch controllers?

Finally... ive been waiting for this lately..thx ! Im looking for a left hand remote.. what are my options?..

Waiting for my 3pv small and responsive thats my pic;)

FlySky DB4?

Rechargeable AA batteries are very common. Did NiMH slip your mind?

Radiolink RC6GS with the R7FG 7ch receiver cheap stupid long-range now voltage display for your rc car, removable battery tray for Lipo, gyro hands down I the best radio.on the market under $100. I run it on everything also FPV I run 3 cameras switch between all 3. driver camera is on a servo, all set up on a Desert Fox. lol

I really like my rc6gs radiolink, lol, but you only have rc4gs, i noticed that haha

i can bind a dx5c to a SRX300.

I really like my flysky GT5, much better than the gt3b build quality wise.

10:00 so your Limitless.....isn't? lol

You sir, probably have too many radios.

"have a budget, you you wanna spend 100, 500 or a thousand dollars?" me: THOUSAND, THOUSAND!!! my wallet: meeeh, best I can do is 15 bucks, whadda you say? me: *cries in poor*
