hi folks,i have fininshed building my buggy its a mutilator with all the necessary parts changed ie marder tank,marder shocks,metal gears etc now i need some radio gear,the only problem is im hopeless with electrics,i need something cheap ish on 2.4ghz and the simplest thing to use/set up in the world,i previoustly had a spektrum dx3 and i just couldnt get the hang of it lol
 
I had a DX3 when they first came out and only reason I changed is I race and need more features. Most important and mandatory on a 25 pound large scale is a remote kill switch and I will not run with out one as it is a BIG liability not counting the damage to your RC vehicle! So what every you get make sure it is compatible with a remote kill switch. Kent of Killer RC that makes great kill switch and other items has a radio compatibility chart on his web site.

I do not know from experience but some say the Airtronics MX-3 Sport 3Ch 2.4GHz FHSS2 and Easy Pay Futaba 3PL 3-Channel 2.4GHz FHSS are pretty good but make sure they are compatible with a kill switch.

Yes the W3 is supposed to be a decent reliable set from what Ive heard and JE Spares who are selling it are an excellent company to deal with. Here is the direct link to their webpage......

I have used the earlier W3 to what you have bought for the last 2 years and have found it a good TX, i too have the Killer bee V1 and works fine..

The K Bee is easy to set up, i take it you know it needs to be connected to the 2 prongs on the coil (cut off switch), i made my own but Killer rc does sell the kit for it..oops just read you got the 3 kit, sorted then.:cool:

i havnt had a bash with a largescale in about a year so im quite exited to get it out now :) hopefully it will be at the weekend
 
if you want a cheap,reliable 2.4 with great range and works with killer bee, get a flysky gt3b, put it this way,i got a futaba 4pk with a few recievers which i use on one of my buggys,but i still use my gt3b on marder, has all the features you will need,plus if you want extra reciever they a £6!!!!
he transmitter looks great,has a big blue lit screen and cost £35 new!!!!they are bringing out a new one too calkled the flysky gt3c,that should be good too,

my dads looking to buy one of them so i will see what its like,cheers
 
any updates?
interesting debate between the two posted $$ friendly radios.
What is the gain with the deep jump goin with a dx3?
 
I just puschased a futaba 4pks but i had a flysky gt3b b4 that and i must say what a great radio set, it never missed a beat i could drive my baja out of sight and never once lost signal lol for $65us i think its the best cheap radio on the market;)
 
do you still have the flysky? I cant drop $400 on a radio honestly. not now at least. I have to figure out how to tighten up the brake on my baja, when I engauge it, it is acting like full stop from the controller is maybe 30% application on the truck.

the flysky gt3b can run a kill switch i do believe, which I need to buy also.
