Love that at the end "Please consult with your wife before making a purchase" lololol
F her
Ill pass on that consult..
Pathetic
Loving my Spektrum DX5c Smart with 6100AT and TM1500 for telemetry. Motor temp, RPM and Voltage right on the digital display. Tons of control
I'd like to see a true latency test between the brands. They all make claims, but customers should have the true times. Knowing where each radio is made is also a bonus to know who to support. Hitec, Futaba, Sanwa, Flysky, Spectrum, Etc. All the brands.
Wow Brett I've been needing this for a really long time thank you so very much for doing this video much appreciated have a great one now.!!!!!!!!
Great information. I just got my Futaba 4PM from you and impressed me :)
Awesome video yep it is definitely worth getting a decent transmitter because I have a Futaba T4grs that I race with and there is such a difference by the way the car drives and how you feel connected to the car ! great video again by the way!!!
Great job Brett 👍🏼. I’m a Futaba 4PX owner and I love it.
Brett: You should upgrade your transmitter
Guy: But I have a 7PX

Please do a video on different Nitro content fuels and their uses. I'm looking to dive into Nitro again, and all the more info the better. Love your content and I look forward to your next video!
This is an older video... but was still a great help!!! I'm looking to hst my 1st upgraded transmitter and this helped a lot!!!!
I am pretty happy with my Ko Propo EX1 Mars with the Spectrum modules.
Works well, even tho it's not the newest of the newest.
The only times i had issues wit electrical, it was down to faulty connections/switches, never problems with signal loss.
I had one of those 30 years ago! I didn't know that you could update it to a spectrum system! Cool I have all my cars on my Airtronics M11 with Spectrum systems. I am hesitant to upgrade to a new one but one with windows for all the functions and programing. I would love that because mine is hard to program. I can understand your sticking to what you have. I loved it and it was simple, mine is NOT!!!
Great video for an RC newbie like myself. Thanks!
Oh wow I’ve had this question for a while! Thanks for telling me that it will work! Now I’ve only got to get an additional receiver 👍 Thanks!
Very convincing video! I go back to the days of AM radios and then FM was the best to have!! LOL
I am long overdue for a radio upgrade and now the prices are very attractive for me....
Hey Santa " got your ears on " ??? LOL
I still have an old school JR system from 2002 lol
First off thank you for this video. You just helped me teach a coworker who is just getting into the hobby the point that I've been trying to make to him. Upgrade your radio unit and in the future if you get extra cars you can get extra receivers and keep everything simple & clean. Only gripe I have with this video is I think sanwa screwed their customer base with some of their new models. The mx6 as far as I know use that fh- e system which rendered the fh-2 receivers useless. No other sanwa transmitter accepts fh-e. Then they replaced the mt4 that was fully backwards compatible with fh-2 up to fh-4 receivers with the mt-s which only runs fh-3 and fh-4. Then the next step up is the mt-44 which cost as much as your avarage rc kit and has the same issue as the mt-s. Last great sanwa transmitters where the m11s, mt-4, and mx-v.
Yeah, I noticed this too. Seems like they're offering two tiers of receiver technology. Spektrum has this too with DSMR and their low end transmitters having FHSS.
-Brett
Very informative. Great video presentation Brett.
Very helpful and honest video, I was thinking about it too. And also I love the way you "bother with finding the right transmitter among the rest", wish I had this problem ahhahahah
I have the Sanwa M12S and I love it!!!
Ive driven before rtr transmitters too and the difference is emormous.
Great Vid
I got the m12s too. I love it
The m11x is the transmitter I use! I love it!
Great information once again. Thanks Brett
I love my Futaba 4PX! Happy racing y’all
I used to skate with you in Santa Cruz ca years ago Brett !!
I wish I knew you were into rc back then !! Awesome stuff

1 transmitter to trim them all

Can you or anyone that reads this please help me with an upgraded radio choice/different options of brands? Im new to getting away from the rtr radios and have been told to get a Sanwa, Futaba T4PM. The T4PM has a super response option But requires you to buy a sr reciever which not sure what this option is for? Not sure what the distances of range are on different radios. Theres so many dam different radios out there and each seems to be for either racing, crawling, short track This that and the other thing it makes your head spin. Its almost making me want to just sell my brand new xmaxx still in the box with losts of $$$$ in brand new upgrades still in their pkgs cuz its almost like im never gonna figure all this out!
I watch so many videos on different radios and people switching from Futabas to Sanwas etc. I dont race and right now my only rc is my new xmaxx. I do like decent sized backlit screens, I would like to program lights to run off my radio, I have no clue what all the settings due on upgraded radios like all the Trims. The throttle and curve and whatever other adjustments they do. You almost have to go to college to figure out radios and rc vehicles these days.
I think i made a mistake of buying another xmaxx that im gonna be building/upgrading this time with Castles newest sensored 2028 motor and esc Instead of just staying out of the hobby. I cant believe how pissed im getting with trying to figure everything out. I still havent started my build yet as i still need lots of upgrades that are out of stock and still have to spend more $$$. Please email me at jdeeress@yahoo.com or if your response goes to my email then thats fine to. Thank You.
@@nitetrain7136 I'm sure Futaba is great but probably expensive. If you have the money it's probably the best. I would guess Spektrum is also very good, maybe a little cheaper. If you want budget you could try flysky. For $50 you can pick up a GT5 which does a lot for the money. I have that and the IT4s and like both of them. Haven't had any of the more expensive ones so I can't say how much better they are.
You deserve a White Russian lol 😁😆😅😂😭
@@mikejurnak4253 The dude abides!
Hell yes! Nuff said. My Spektrum DX5 Pro is by far the best radio I’ve ever owned. One fast ergonomic sob. My wheel is angled and tilted and with a frame rate of 5 ms, my steering servo is quicker than my hand on the wheel. Why do you want more than one transmitter? More than one receiver - yes. One transmitter - multiple memories is the only way. Finally I’m there. Took awhile...
Personally I’m running a Sanwa MT-44 for my current race stuff I’ve more recently picked up a Spectrum DX5C for my two crawlers and my other Basher type vehicles I’ve still got my old Airtronics M11X as well that one is still setup on my Nitro race vehicles (which I don’t run anymore) and it’s “That extra Transmitter” if I’ve got a friend that wants to try one of my cars it’s also a good backup to the MT44 that replaced it. I like my DX5C but It’s a noticeable step down from the M11X & MT44 but it’s lighter weight and overall cheaper system that I’m more willing to but in a higher risk situation (ie running trails) I bought my DX5C before the DX5 Rugged was announced 🤷♂️ still have my old FM Futaba systems too those are just for sitting next to my Vintage RC shelf queens nowadays
Actually love the hsp stock ones they never miss a beat
Well,, I for one appreciate the RTR transmitters, Back in my day kids! we only had stick radios, wheel models were just hitting the scene, We had Futaba and Airtronix for radio choice, and you could get diff crystal sets, everything has changed in radios for the better IMO.
Thanks for the low down Brett, great job
This was a great video, I have a spectrum DX4R pro and it has changed my rc experience.
RC moto that’s what I am thinking of going with spetrum dx5
I have one transmitter right now because it has an option that most don't have. The ability to accommodate left handed steering. Been driving left handed since 1984.
I am one of those who have converted from many to one transmitter and once I got my spectrum dx3s I was hooked but there is one thing u forgot to address about only using one transmitter. You can only run one vehicle @ a time. If a friend or anyone else wants to play with one u will need another transmitter or take turns. Thats why I always save a few rtr transmitters. It's more fun when ur not the only one driving
He did mention that...
@@puzzleluvr yep, covered that topic
I usually stick with 27mhz, so easy to bind and find. I even found some in a dump. All I need some servo reverse, throttle steering trim
😭😭🤣🤣🤣 the guy trying to pic up the transmitter 🤣🤣👍🏾🤝🏾
Picked up my first upgrade TX years ago with a DX4C. I'll never look back. Most RTR transmitters disgust me anymore. Currently I have sold off my DX4c and run with a DX6R. I'm becoming the same way with batteries as well.
In getting back into RC, one thing I decided, from the beginning, is that I didn't want to play the "upgrade game". I mean, why start with a lower-end 2Ch or 3Ch, then upgrade to a good mid-range 4Ch, and then, a few years later, finally upgrade to a high-end 6Ch or 7Ch? Using that logic, I decided it was best to just "shoot for the moon".
That's why, other than the TQi that came with my Rustler 4x4, I went straight for the Futaba 7PX...and, I'm extremely glad I did. Now having several off-road vehicles, plus an on-road, I finally decided to get into crawlers, which, for those familiar with crawlers, can easily need more than 4 channels - my first crawler used 6 channels. Sometimes, it IS work it to just get the top-of-the-line model from the beginning.
Oh, you hit the moon. That 7PX is really nice! I'm a little jealous but I like how you think. Well done.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies I agree. I wish the car companies would build cars and trucks like that. Quit putting out flawed parts from the start that need upgrades just to make run as advertised. That's why I want a quality kit company. Tekno is leading my wish list
Was that a Kimbrough scalloped wheel horn at about the 3 1/2 minute mark? Best accessory ever!
Beautifully explained, thank you. Great Channel.
I like the 7 PX Futaba I have it's pretty good...I also have a 4PLS for the kids to use....
✌🏻😎🏴Another awesome video Brett.
happy with my 27mhz setup.
I got a fly sky transmitter and got receivers for all my cars. It’s nice having one controller for everything and the range is so much better.
Bars&tone RC only thing flysky needs to catch now is with their latency. Futaba 5ms vs 15 ms on flysky?
Flysky noble nb4 is hands-down the best remote for it's price. 500$ performance for half price. Performs ,looks and feels great.
Nice vid! I like my mt44 for my racers and my dx4e for my bashers 🤙🇦🇺🍻😊
Still have my same Trasmitter with my. RUCKUS Truck and still works great no problems so far and still fast silly fast but could be a touch faster like i said before.
and in case of the transmitter I got with my kraton, the upgraded TX has no delay and a better range
I returned to the hobby via drone racing and I'm really disappointed with the RC car radios available. I bought a Sanwa MT44 and found it frustrating to because I was used to helicopter radios. I've now reverted to my FRSky X-lite and I absolutely love it! The handset is about a third of the price, the PWM receivers are a tenth of the price, yet it's a 24 channel helicopter radio.
I came into surface from drones and I too was a little disappointed. Stuff like there's no opentx/edgetx surface radio and there's no open source low latency rc link like ELRS in surface. And all the low latency, telemetry "racing" links in surface like Futaba and Spektrum cost an arm and a leg. Like a screenshot in this video showing a Spektrum RX that costs $79! I get low latency, over 10km of range and telemetry from a $10 rx bound to an $80 radio with my drone.
Stuff like Futaba and Spektrum is dead in the drone space and we call them "legacy protocols". Surface is a good 10 years behind at this point.
@@ChinaExpatsRC I'm also annoyed at the cost of the ESC and that you need a proprietary programming box. Oh how I miss BLHeli...
I've had this thought for a while and all avenues are mostly best. Save money on purchase because you already have your own, less pollution . More companies need to offer w/o radio options
To be honest I haven't had any issues with the rtr transmitters from traxxas, I run my xmaxx twice a week only, no worries here.
I love my Sanwa MX-V (It was the best i could affort) i just wish it could handle 4Wheel steering
I've had one of those, great transmitter! Bummer there is no 4wheel steering.
-Brett
Thanks for all the very useful info in this video. I needed to hear some things. Do im wondering is there a particular type of transmitter that fits a platform. Like stick transmitter for flying and pistol grip for onroad offoad?
The only requirement is for flying, you need a stick transmitter. For surface use, you can use stick or pistol type; your preference.
-Brett
I prefer spektrum because they feel the most comfortable too me.
But that being said I use the rtr remotes. Ease of use, dont care if something happens to one because they were included and cheap to replace.
Yo just watched 2 videos and read 2 articles. I had throttle trim issues. And just had trouble. Watched your video. And it worked fine. Idk. But thanks.
Great information. I wondered about the transmitters for RC cars (coming from fpv drones). Your video cleared things up for me. Thanks!
A question. Could you suggest a transmitter suitable for a Traxxas Summit if any? It would need a 3 channel switch for differentials and 2 channels to switch gears.
The Spektrum DX5C has 5-channels and many buttons, all programmable to do what you need: www.amainhobbies.com/spektrum-rc-dx5c-5channel-dsmr-surface-radio-w-sr6100at-receiver-spm5120/p1049208
I'm not sure if there is a 3-position switch like the Traxxas radio, it may be a little different, but it would work.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies thanks man. Looks great.
when you start upgrading electronics in your rc its time to get a new radio to really dial in those new electronics.
I have the traxxas maxx and arrma infraction. I'm looking to upgrade to one nice remote. I hate using one rtr remote then go to the other one. They feel totally different and It takes time to get use to every time I switch.
Brett with Amain Hobbies. Thank you for making this video.
Do you guys need any RtR transmitters? I think I have about 15 of them with receivers.
Ha, we're good on those for now, but thanks.
-Brett
I'll take em
I never use the stock transmitter even with RTR’s. The reason is EPA’s none have it... and I dial back the throttle and steering depending on who’s going to drive
Many rc radios is a must. This way your friends that can’t afford expensive toys can play with you.
Just picked up a 7PX LE - I like flashy stuff :)
Heck yeah! 7PX LE Carbon Glory. Great choice Bill!
-Brett
Thank you very much for that review. I'm missing just one point - I'm looking for a left hand (steering wheel) transmitter and was not able to find some details nor comparisons.
So would a great support by you to give some recommandations.
Yes, there are transmitters that can be adjusted for left hand use, although it is usually reserved for higher-end models. This Sanwa M12S is a great example of left/right hand operation, in a high-end, fully programmable system. It is quite exquisite.

Very good products 👍 .I think a little bit expensive but good.
Just ordered a 7px from my lhs. I haven’t gotten it yet. Looking forward to having something different. I’ve had a spectrum DX3R for the last 6 years. It’s been a great radio.
i made the same switch. your going to love it
very good video thanks. I am looking for another transmitter
I LOVE my Sanwa M17. Was quite frustrating to learn to set up and use, but, once I did, I can't live without it. Was EXPENSIVE though! ouch!
Great video
LOVE THE VID! But you could do a drinking game on how many times you say “transmitter”. Omg. How many times did you say that word 🤣. On a serious note, thanks for the vid ‼️
Whays the best transmitter and receiver for a Carisma sca1e for slow crawling, ie precise throttle, great vid
Expected box to have a bunch of xmitters in it since he was talking about them taking up a lot of space... single one inside and foam.
10:38 I have that MT4s. Its anniversary edition limited.
I upgrade my receivers on my best cars n the cars ill let others use ill keep the rtr transmitter on it
Hlo stevo
@@joyroy366 YO!!!
Been using an airtronics m11 since it came out. Then recently downgraded to a futaba 3pv because most high end transmitter are bigger and bulky.. and most of the time not needed unless competition racing. I say for the average old school guy, an entry level LCD screen transmitter is the best.. it does everything you want and more, with going all out just for 30 minutes of bashing
Hands down i love my radio link rc6gs it has a gyro (wich i dont use cause i actually practiced and learned how to drive)has lots of features as well and hey its pretty damn cheap too :D
Btw no offense on the (I know how to drive my car)
When I first started flying RC Planes, you invested in the RTF setup with the pre- programmed transmitter.After that, you purchased a programmable transmitter because you knew you were going to purchase other models. I get tired of dealing with all the transmitters for my ground vehicles. Unless the vehicle requires a specialized feature like the Traxxas Summit or M4 crawler, I cannot see having many transmitters, labeling them, batteries, broken transmitters etc.
The main issue is how many people will pay $50 per futaba receiver when you can get similar receiver for 10-15 bucks from flysky or radiolink. Futaba needs to bring prices down to 25ish level for their receivers and then maybe their $250 radio might be a better deal
Hi! I really enjoy your videos, making it easier for me who is new to the R/C-world. I have an Arrma Felony and a Traxxas Maxx. Looking into upgrading transmitter and have already made up my mind on buying the Futaba 7PXR. Now the questions. As an amateur it is hard to understand what is compatible and not. Will this transmitter work with both my cars as long as i have the right receiver? Also, the receivers seem to have different ”protocols”, for instance ”T-FHSS”, what does this mean and do i have to choose the ”right one”? Is there anything else i need to think of in terms of parts before i can use it with my cars?
Best regards
Erik in Sweden
Hi Erik.
>Will this transmitter work with both my cars as long as i have the right receiver?
Yes, it will work with both vehicles as long as they each have their own compatible Futaba receiver.
>Also, the receivers seem to have different ”protocols”, for instance ”T-FHSS”, what does this mean and do i have to choose the ”right one”? The protocol is the technology used for the device, and transmitter and receiver must use the same protocol to communicate to each other. The 7PXR is compatible with the following protocols: T-FHSS SR/T-FHSS/S-FHSS/FASST-C2
>Is there anything else i need to think of in terms of parts before i can use it with my cars?
Your Maxx will lose TSM when you remove the Traxxas receiver, but other than that, no. The 7PXR is amazing: the screen is big and beautiful, the menus are easy to navigate and the touch screen is convenient. Very good choice for a new transmitter!
Enjoy Erik!
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies Thank you so much for your help Brett! It means a lot! Keep doing what you are doing, you’re the best! Best regards, Erik
I was thinking of getting Futaba 7PXR 2.4GHz because I run a 1/5 tourer, would there be another brand also to compare the functions?
Trying to see if I can make these old Rc work again now that I got back into the hobby although I just bought a new Pro2sc10
very awesome videos.
Loved this vid recently subscribed!!! Just got my hands on a used sanwa m11, do you still have receivers in stock for them? I’d love to get a couple more.
Nice, they're great radios. The M11 is a FHSS 2, so it's compatible with Sanwa FHSS 2 surface receivers. If you have the M11X on the other hand, it is FHSS 3 but also backwards compatible with FHSS 2. FHSS 2 receivers are old and outdated now and will be challenging to find (we do not sell them anymore). FHSS 3 receivers are still available, like this RX-380: www.amainhobbies.com/sanwa-airtronics-rx380-2.4ghz-fhss3-3channel-receiver-m12-mt4-snw107a41077a/p536324

Hi Sir, Im gonna be new to an aftermarket transmitter and have been told to go with a Futaba number 4 series. T4PM or the others. I am told the T stands for Telemetry which i dont know much about, Then theres the T4PM radio, T4PV and so on. I really like the neat looks and functionality and the neat screens on the Futabas. I know the Top Dawg is the 7PX, But that is pretty pricey and not sure if it would be worth it for my first one, Especially when im planning on dumping several grand into my traxxas Xmaxx 8s build. I really prefer the backlit screens, the flip up antennae would be nice on the front, All or most of the required settings options would be neat, the moveable up and down steering wheel would be neat, maybe the one with the different handle comfort grip options, I dont plan on racing. please help me out so i know which radio will suit my needs but not cost me super high end bucks, unless this might be the way to go. even maybe a 4PX? Thanks
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Futaba transmitters. They're all really nice, and like you mentioned, the 7PX is extremely nice! That would probably be my transmitter of choice if money wasn't an issue. For the telemetry functions, I think you just need a telemetry capable receiver for it to work. Do you need that with an X-Maxx?
-Brett
The Traxxas controller for the Bronco XLT looks basic yet it's the better of the basic layouts and has blue tooth.
The Traxxas app is VERY robust.
also whats the best battery for rc car? I just got a 1/10th scale from ecx. Battery life kinda sucks from the one I got.
Airtronics were always the best for me back in the 90s with the old RC10s. I believe they are Sanwa now but I may be wrong. Whats a good transmitter the pros use these days?
Love my 7 and 10px futaba.
49 mhz all the way baby !
Could you recommend a transmitter that would work for traxxas, flysky and redcat racing receivers?
Sorry, I don't know of any transmitter that will work on all three of those systems.
-Brett
Ya remember the box style of first controller's lol, tow thumb toggles lol
You four get to tell about the range!!,way i up graded because the range was to short!!!
Only been doing RC for about a year now, so apologies if this question seems silly. I am looking a buying a Spektrum DX5 Rugged. If I bind a vehicle to the DX5, will the stock transmitter still work with that vehicle if I want to let someone else run that vehicle while I run another using the DX5? I recently bought my first plane and picked up a Spektrum DX8. Really happy with that transmitter so that's why I was thinking of the DX5 Rugged. I currently have 5 ground vehicles and am looking at picking up a couple more and really found this video insightful.
By the way, just wanted to say I love your online store, the videos and info you guys provide!
Whichever radio a receiver is bound to is the one that will control it. So if you rebind to a different radio, you can certainly run it with another truck.
Really happy to hear you enjoy the store! Glad the video was helpful for you as well. For the radio, like Henry said, the receiver will only respond to the transmitter it is bound to, and the receiver can be bound to only one transmitter at a time. You could bind a new vehicle for a friend, but it's a little bit of a pain as the ESC should be calibrated to the new transmitter, and trims should be adjusted as needed. Hope this helps.
-Brett
@@puzzleluvr thanks for the info, that answers my question.
@@AMain_Hobbies Thanks for that info, answers my question. Definitely would make it tough when sharing different vehicles with family and friends.
Looking to get back into this I was dragracing RC 10’s 20 years ago.... I use to love Futaba... but starting fresh over again I have a DR 10 and I’m looking to get a transmitter that I can customize a little bit change a tune on the fly But there are so many choices what’s a good transmitter that won’t break the bank thank you in advance
When should I upgrade my transmitter I currently have a 3pv have 3 cars on it and I've been racing with it for 2 years
I'm thinking about either at DX5C or DX5 pro. Haven't been able to find much comparison wise. I live in the sticks so my phone is my only internet
I have both, the DX5R/PRO is a great upgrade over the DX5C/RUGGED. Either will be great, but if you have the extra money I'd get the DX5R/PRO.
Does one drain the battery faster Henry?
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies Brett, I would say the DX5R is better on batteries, even with the backlight. They both use batteries fairly quickly, but the DX5R seems to be more efficient.
@@puzzleluvr I heard that the DX5C/Rugged was for trails and crawling because it is waterproof and all others are not. You can play in rain or if you slip and fall into the mud boggs with your radio in hand all you have to do is rinse off and not buy a new transmitter. It was made for that application and not racing
4:51 "Sometimes its really stiff and bounces back. Sometimes its soft..."
Im looking to get the new v5 Arrma Typhon 6s. I know it has spectrum electronics and I'm planning on using the spectrum battery bundle as well. I think I may want to upgrade the radio from the RTR package to a better spectrum radio. Maybe a DX5? How easy would that be to swap it over with the New V5 Arrma having spectrum stuff in it? Any extra parts I would have to swap or buy?
That should work. You just have to ensure the receiver and your new transmitter work on the same technology. Since the included SR315 receiver is compatible with both SLT and DSMR technology, it will definitely work with the DX5, which uses DSMR. High Five!
-Brett
Hi just found your channel.I bought a Bezgar 1:12 scale mt.I was wondering what you might think a transmitter would be for this mt.Thanks so much for the video to.Stay Safe Stay Healthy
Looking at pictures on google, the included receiver in the vehicle looks to be a part of the internal circuit board, rather than a separate piece, so you cannot swap it out for another, or use a different transmitter. Sorry man.
-Brett
@@AMain_Hobbies thanks so much for your looking in to that.Stay Safe Stay Healthy
i forgot one other question, What do all the different channels do or mean? like the 4 to 5 and up? Why so many? I would like to run different lights via my next radio if this is what some of these channels can be used for? Maybe the excess channels are to run extra fans and other accessories? Thanks.
I have a 6 channel transmitter and i use the xtra channels for shift servos if the model has a 2 speed trans,the extra channels can control winches,lights,servos but you will still need some type of controller for each channel you want to control.
New to the hobby and run an Armma Granite, Reflex Buggy, and Tacon Bulwalk. I’m left handed. Like to have one receiver for the mentioned RC and future RC. Which controller and receiver would you recommend?
Hey Rafael. That's a great question. Pretty much all transmitter are configured for right handed use, but some higher end transmitters allow you to swap the steering wheel to the other side. Without knowing your budget, here are two options which are the least expensive. Both of these options features model memory, so if you equip each of your vehicles with a unique receiver, all the trims, throttle calibration and any other settings will be saved, and you can swap between the vehicles in the transmitter. The first option does not include a receiver, it must be purchased separetely; the second option does include one receiver.

AMain Hobbies thank you! This gives me a great start. Since I am new to the hobby, I don’t need championship professional grade top of the line controller...am not competing and most likely will not use all the bells and whistles for now. Just need a controller to be more comfortable as a left handed and to experience a much better play time, race and off roading.
If you think of other controls, let me know. Also, for receivers, where is a good place to buy receivers to install in the buggies? Are all receivers equal or are there some better then others?
@@juliuscaesar8801 Well, you'd want to buy them from AMain Hobbies of course; www.amainhobbies.com . We sell all the transmitters, receivers and everything else R/C. For picking receivers, they're all pretty good. It needs to be compatible with your transmitter, but they usually vary in how many channels they have, but they typically work equally as well. I'd recommend getting the same receiver that comes with the transmitter to play it safe.

Amazingly informative …. But I’m still a little lost … I have a “jet bandit from Tyco 49mhz” from the 80s my mom gave it to me and I lost the remote when I move out… can anyone help me find a remote that work with it or is there a way to link any receiver?
Thank you 🙏
Very cool! To get it going, your best bet might be to find an exact transmitter, in the same frequency as the receiver (easier said than done). Swapping out the receiver would be the easiest method but I'm afraid the receiver in that car is part of one circuit board that controls all electronic functions, rather than using separate and independent components. If I'm wrong and the components are separate, the project should be much easier. To find that transmitter, I'd start searching electronic recycle websites and eBay.
