Share your experience with a link on which receiver and controller is best for our 1/5 scale cats? When I say best I'm talking about quality, durability and performance.

I've ran Spektrums, Futabas and Airtronics. All of them are great. It depends on what you're looking for, like how many channels, features, etc.

The FS looks legit, so far. Haven't seen any major complaints.
 
iheard so much good about them i just ordered my gt3c and killer bee kill switch.cant wait to play with them lol
 
FlySky GT3B for sure!!! My friends run Spektrum and they glitch like no other when my flysky comes around (only two of them glitch, but the other 3 don't)....the FlySky has good range and recievers are super cheap!! in my opinion if your going to run any telemetry stuff feel free to buy the Spektrum tx and rx....if not the FlySky GT3B is the way to go!!

I think there was two version of the flysky gt?
 
there is a new version, chu... I have the G3B, and now there is a C out. I have not read up on it, but if mine is ever broken, ill be all about the latest version. I love my Flysky... I just cant imagine ever needing something else- and the price is rediculously cheap :D

This is a very subjective question. I am a fan of Futaba personally. I now have a 4pl and 4pks. I had tried the Spektrum once but glitching and range issues sent me right back to Futaba. The same was true for the Radiopost 401. The FlySky seem to be the flavor of the month due to bang for the buck. I do not have hands on with these but everyone who has one seems to have great success with them. Then there is the Airtronics M12. If price means quality and performance than the 600.00+ dollar M12 is the best. For me it's Futaba all the way. :)
 
I bought a Flysky GT3B a month or so ago for $35. For the price I figured I'd give it a shot. Very impressed and happy I got it. You can't beat the price.

The FS is the best bang for the buck, but I love my 4PKS. It has loads of features. It also has a great feel to it. I have no regrets spending the money on it.
 
I think there is a newer Flysky that is orange in color? What's up with that? It has a bigger battery that you charge using a usb charger? I don't know about that, I prefer double a..... cause I run rechargeable double a....
 
ya mine is the GTB and I run 8 rechargable batteries in it. It does come with a USB cable but I think it's for allowing you to run simulators and such with your transmitter on your computer. Never used it.

The GT3C comes a few different colors. I've seen silver, gunmetal & orange.
