Newbie radio suggestion

I have this on my BAJA clone (K/M)

I think the one in mine is a killer rc super bee. I know there's some form of killswitch aside from what the guy who gave me the baja told me, it's kicked in once already when the RX battery got low, and I experimented (no engine running, obviously) by giving full throttle and turning off the remote. It gently rolled back to neutral, but I don't think it applied brakes.

Killswicth will work with flysky. Assign it to ch#3

I'm down with that flysky, I'm just not wanting to drop 8AAs in it, and I dunno if it can connect a battery easily

I use the FS GT3C, the kill switch on my largescales work perfect on the ch3 button

 

[Whoduh]

You can mod/hack the gt3b to use lipo or life batteries or the Flysky gt3c comes with a lipo...i think....Its the updated version of the gt3b.

 

[t2boats]

Yeah it comes with a Lipo, altogether I think it's a nicer unit than the 3b, foam wheel too, lighter.

 

[Spoogity Woogums]

Yeah, looks like I'm getting that GT3C

I've been running 1/10 scale for a couple of years, and I could do just about any radio and notice minor differences. But now that I have a 20+lb death/severe injury machine, what is the best radio and number of channels? The guy I got my baja from put in a killswitch and is running a 2ch Futaba. I'm eyeballing a couple of spektrum radios with avc and came here for suggestions.
The Futaba he gave me is okay, but the trimming is done with digital switches and I prefer the old knob types.

Been using Futaba since the 80s with never a problem
Swear by them

What are the stock receivers that FG uses now for their 5th scales? The receivers are small and it outputs 2.4GHz.

The Fly-sky is excellent for $38.00 at King Motors ,Like WhoDuh and EVSSV said 10 model memory ...

yep...10 mod memory......loads of settings......lipo mod cheap n easy to do....it if screws up ....no biggy...not gonna brake the bank...but mine r both doing fine.....

I'm really eyeballing that one for sure. My next concern is getting the killswitch set up on a new radio. What do I need to do for that?

jus make sure u buy a 3ch one......and jus plug it in to the rx job done!
