  • Best cheap radio ever! For some reason mine will only run on Duracells
I was having so many issues with other cheap radios, the range was of them was always really bad and they all had a big delay. This Futaba is perfect, works right out of the box and the range and performance is amazing. Perfect radio if you aren't gonna ever race and you just want good internals and nothing fancy. My only issue with this radio is I thought it was broken because for some reason none of the batteries I own will work in it, except for duracells. I tried 2 sets of Energizers and 2 sets of another brand, neither worked. I went and bought a bunch of Duracell Double A's so I can run this radio for a super long time on the go. ... show more

  • Great little three channel controller.
Fast shipping. I have purchased four or five of these over the past few months for all of my little RC projects. They work very well. The only problem is trying to get one of the batteries out once they are in, it gets jammed in there pretty tight but you can eventually get it. Not bad for $90 or so. ... show more

  • Good entry level RC system despite a few nitpicks
Set up was simple, although I was stumped at first about how to limit servo travel to prevent binding, because all the other trims are under the clear plastic cover. I almost didn't notice the thumb wheel at first, and it has an odd name ("Steering Dual Rates"). Once I realized that mistake, all was good. The manual is well written. It works great as a radio system, with no glitches in operation, and long range. The throttle and steering are smooth and precise, if a bit cheap feeling. There is a switched third channel for lights, which I haven't installed yet. As other reviewers have mentioned, the battery compartment is poorly designed and fastened, and the outer two AA cells need to be pried out with a tool. Another nitpick is that the radio didn't come with a plastic tube to protect the antenna. The manual says it should be included. Without it, the antenna & lead seem too fragile to withstand much bashing. Overall, the build quality of the transmitter is very cheap. After spending $95, I was initially underwhelmed when I opened the box. But since this was an xmas gift to my son with his first RC car, I paid a little extra for a brand I was familiar with. I also like the smoke colored translucent door covering the trim knobs and switches, as it helps keep young hands from messing with them. ... show more

  • Awesome product! Affordable replacement and a upgrade to factory rx/tx!
For the price you can’t beat it especially when the receiver you get costs $50 by itself so you basically get the controller for $20 and it feels much better then a stock traxxas controller and has adjustments for everything you could wish for right on the controller which can all tuned on the fly! And the range is also great, can control your car without interruption for as far as you can see and further. Has a nice short antenna so it doesn’t have to be exposed outside of the body where it can be damaged. Very happy with this product and it arrived very quickly! Would highly recommend. ... show more

  • Perfect upgrade from 27mhz transmitter.
I bought this transmitter and receiver to replace the original 27mhz AM set that came with my Traxxas Stampede XL-5. Installing the receiver in the truck and setting everything up was super easy - about 10min in total. Just remove the two screws that secure the receiver case cover, lift the old receiver off of the double stick tape that holds it down, put the new one in its place, plug everything in and re-install the cover. Linking the transmitter and receiver was an easy process. Since the antenna wire on the receiver is much shorter, I trimmed down the antenna tube which also makes for a nicer appearance. For some reason the throttle and steering controls worked in reverse from the original transmitter, but simply moving the two reversing switches on the Futaba solved that problem. The quality of the Futaba transmitter feels the same as the Traxxas, which means that both of them feel sort of cheaply made. But I expect it will hold up just fine. I have not had a problem with the foam ring sliding around the wheel that others have mentioned. Overall I am very pleased with this transmitter and I am also enjoying the increased operating range. ... show more

  • Great Transmitter
Bought this to rejuvenate one of my old RC trucks from when I was a kid to play with my son. Price was great, and since I didn't need servos, this was perfect. I had no problems getting this to work, and the range is fantastic. I live in a busy neighborhood, and did not notice any interference. I also didn't see any interference between my other 75 mhz transmitter when running them at the same time. This is a no-nonsense transmitter that does everything you need for running an RC car/truck. ... show more

  • Great entry level radio
Great 3 channel radio. This thing is plain and simple, easy to use knob adjustments for trim. really not much to say I've always had good luck with Futaba radios and this is no different, this is on the lower end of the spectrum so its a no fuss no bells and whistles. I have two an they have worked regardless of what I've asked for them. Pros: Simple easy trim adjustments no external antenna to bust up good range Inexpensive durable Cons: Lacks extra channels (for extra functions) no multiple electronic selection for different land vehicles foam wheel has a tendency to slip, might need to apply a dab of cement ... show more
