I picked up a version of this from Amazon for $45. After the first one, I ordered another. The first was ZKSJ CT01, the second was LDARC CT01. Same price, identical unit except I didn't read the fine print. The LDARC did not include the lipo battery, but the SKSJ did. I also dug and found some other videos that go a bit more into detail about settings, a bit long winded but with a couple worthwhile tidbits. For instance, it turns out reasonably easy to set trim and individual left and right endpoints for channels beyond steering and throttle, for example for me to setup my dig servo. Also, the "channel mapping" allows a single button to control multiple channels, e.g. use the two position D for two sets of LED lights on/off (with amazon led light cables, which I had two, but I didn't have a Y cable). Another cool thing, There is a wire included with the receiver for battery voltage telemetry. So connect one end into the top left socket of the receiver and then the wire ends into the ESC's battery connector. Now the CT01 LCD shows me current voltage level of the rig's battery. Neato. Biggest downside: the beeps are loud, and I didn't find a way to change them.
Do you know if on the ZKSJ you can update its firmware with the hobbyporter firmware, i would imagine that the off brand isnt going to support it in such a way, but could be wrong
@@53rdcards I can only guess, but I guess yes. Other than including the battery, the ZKSJ seemed identical to the LDARC in all respects, the packaging was identical (marked LDARC not ZKSJ). I have not purchased the Hobby Porter, but I'd imagine it is also the same.
Idk what's up but does the telemetry wire get hot? I wired it up once and it burned the wire completely and afraid to try it again haha I checked the polarity and it's correct but somehow and somewhere it probably has a short in it
Wow, this video was a wild ride from start to finish! I never thought I could get so excited about a controller, but you've managed to make it entertaining and informative. I love your enthusiasm and the way you break down the pros and cons of the Hobby Porter CT01. Thanks for sharing this review and giving us a good laugh. Keep up the great work!
If you think a video about a RC controller is a "wild ride from start to finish", I think you might be suffering from Grass withdrawal, I suggest going outside and touching some.
This is real shit. I am now on my third radio. Same error on all. Steering fault/potmeter glitch.. Haven't even had time to use up a battery.. Just rubbish. Love your channel btw.
Great video as always sir!!! I just wish you would have done a close up 360 view of the remote so we could see all the buttons you described and their positioning...up close. Otherwise very informative as always!!!
Hi, could you paste the link to the instructions please? Ive ordered this CT01 and want to give it a good read before it arrives 😉 because of your video too, so thank you ❤❤
But how to mix the throttle with one of the switches or a programmable adjustable throttle curve on the fly? Ie one curve se1lects 0 to 50% and other does 0-90% throttle. Is it possible?
Can we get a radio with Multiprotocal? I just want to be able to use 1 remote with all my stuff without having to duck tape and solder a Banggood box to it.
is it possible to program switch a to be momentary? for instance controlling a winch? when the button closest to the wheel is held it winches out until let off and then opposite on the other button? Great video as always! not sure why i wasnt subbed but i am now!!!
Ein freundliches Hallo! Leider ist der Sender ein Rückschritt. @PeterCPRail8748 hat es ja schon gesagt: Die Hobby Porter HP007 war das schweizer Messer unter den Sendern. Es gab 15 Modellspeicher, einen eingebauten LiPo Tester, einen eingebauten Temperatursensor, eine Cruise Control / Tempomat und ein großes Display. Dafür kam der Sender nur mit 7 Kanälen. Dazu waren zwei Kanäle zusätzlich zu Gas und Bremse proportional. In den 7-Kanal Empfängern war sogar ein Gyro integriert. Spannende Frage: sind die neuen Empfänger kompatibel zur HP007? Denn anscheinend gibt es die HP007 nicht mehr. Schade, denn ich habe meine Crawler-Flotte fast komplett auf die HP007 samt Empfängern umgestellt. Und die viel wichtigere Frage: Wann kommt endliche ein OpenTC / EdgeTX Sender für den Auto / Crawler-Markt? Denn wäre die Suche nach kompatiblen Empfängern endlich vorbei und man hätte wirklich eine freie Programmierbarkeit für alle Kanäle... Vielleicht hast Du ja noch die Chance an eine HP007 heranzukomen und mal zu vergleichen. Und vielleicht kennst Du ja jemand der Werbung für den Crwalermarkt im Bereich OpenTX/ EdgeTX machen kann! Und nicht zu vergessen: Danke für Deine tollen Videos und liebe Grüße aus Norddeutschland!
Yes, endpoints are individually adjustable for all channels but it is a bit quirky. You hold steering all the way (e.g. left for left endpoint.. but sometimes which is which endpoint is which on screen is reverse from what you expect), and then use the dial to change endpoint value, and the servo will move as you adjust.
Best thing is the battery, I have about 40 18650's. Bad screen too small, can't add over 5 items, The Rec led is just way too flashie, the screen is a big NO. The screen did not sell me.
it's a magic bullet competitive advantage. A rechargeable lithium batter for a transmitter is the one thing every transmitter needs but very, very few have.
@@RCReviewChannel I completely agree, something I need to get for sure. Besides the small screen this looks like a great option. Always a fan of your thorough content 👍👍. I have a dirty mind so when you said "magic bullet inside" let's just say my mind traveled places and my lady has one....
If you grab a 20 dollar bottle or can or conformal coating everything is Waterproof. Just un case it. Spray the board. And done. Works for electronics of all types.

@@00Digital I have wired up the telemetry on two of our vehicles without any obvious heat issues, both have hobbywing fusion SE 2in1.

I have the hobby porter/turbo racing HP07. Fantastic 7 channel throttle for the money. Porter makes decent stuff.
Very helpful comment since I'm not familiar with this brand. The real manufacturer may be another brand though.
But how to mix the throttle with one of the switches or a programmable adjustable throttle curve on the fly? Ie one curve se1lects 0 to 50% and other does 0-90% throttle. Is it possible?
Wow steal deal! Thanks for the review👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I my kids have been using the model before this 9ne for years.
Can we get a radio with Multiprotocal? I just want to be able to use 1 remote with all my stuff without having to duck tape and solder a Banggood box to it.
I feel u I have five rc and i have to label each controller so I know what vehicle it goes to lol
Can I use a 8 channel Rlaarlo remote on a 6 channel Rlaarlo receiver? Thank you!
is it possible to program switch a to be momentary? for instance controlling a winch? when the button closest to the wheel is held it winches out until let off and then opposite on the other button?
Great video as always! not sure why i wasnt subbed but i am now!!!
Been using it way before this video lol
That's pretty good for price I might have to get one
Yeah, they're really in a different pricing dimension.

Awesome review. Thank you...
much appreciated.
It's always great to hear from you, but the bright light color background makes it tough to view your content. Takecare!
right on.
This or radiolink rc6gs for drift car?
On the channels and you use them for lights and winches?
Is that the screen from the old Nokia phone i used to have ha..cool radio i like it
I believe Motorola pager.
@@RCReviewChannel haha
How do I keep getti g suggested this channel about banggood?
nice video..., thanks for the review.
👍👍👍😋🙏
Can it change to only 2 position?
Great review 👍🏾
thank you.
Is this gonna be good for buggy racing?
Would you say it's better than the Flysky G7P which is $80?
this is definitely more powerful and more feature-packed. Price is crazy too. The only question now is its durability.
Whats the latency at long distance ?
I want that toys
Any 4WS capabilities other than a 3 position switch?
I don't think so. No knob either for a variable position channel like a gyro.
Is the travel adjustable for each channel?
Yes, endpoints are individually adjustable for all channels but it is a bit quirky. You hold steering all the way (e.g. left for left endpoint.. but sometimes which is which endpoint is which on screen is reverse from what you expect), and then use the dial to change endpoint value, and the servo will move as you adjust.

Same about the 18650s here. Thats why I modded my Radiolink rc6gs to take three 3000mA Samsung cells. They last literally forever.
Is this the same as the LDARC CT01 ?
It is the same.
"There's a magic bullet inside of it" I'm pretty sure that you think a magic bullet is a battery and I think a magic bullet is something else
it's a magic bullet competitive advantage. A rechargeable lithium batter for a transmitter is the one thing every transmitter needs but very, very few have.
@@RCReviewChannel I completely agree, something I need to get for sure. Besides the small screen this looks like a great option. Always a fan of your thorough content 👍👍.
I have a dirty mind so when you said "magic bullet inside" let's just say my mind traveled places and my lady has one....
It goes back, and to the left. Back, and to the left.
Back...
And to the left.
How is one-handed operation compared to the FlySky transmitters? Is the wheel closer of further from the thumb?
Yeah, this is great for one-handed since it is smaller
I’m going to give it a try. Are the receivers waterproof?
for 100 bucks, I would not think so. Splash proof is your question I think.
I have submerged mine and it’s still working
have MOA set??
motor over axle? No.
They need to make a waterproof receiver
If you grab a 20 dollar bottle or can or conformal coating everything is Waterproof. Just un case it. Spray the board. And done. Works for electronics of all types.
Only 5 model memory! Really? You sure ?
