Kraton Best radio / transmitter system for Kraton 6s

[Dukeofpeckham]

I’m new! Just bought my first proper RC since getting jealous of my sons FTX Outlaw.
Seen a load of reviews saying that the transmitter (is that the right term?) isn’t that good that comes with the Kraton 6s as there’s delay. What would anyone recommend as the best one to get? Cheers in advance!

There’s a bunch but I tell you one thing I’m running this redcat remote it’s a great controller feels good in your hand got decent range, to where i cant tell if it’s stopped or still going. I’m a dirt guy so distance ain’t all that needed but I sure don’t lose signal and crash at full throttle into a curb with that Stx2 I had.

Few more hours till daybreak, the day shift will be arriving soon $30-500

There are tons of options, but if you only want to control one RC and on a budget, look for the Dumborc for under $30. If you want to control more than one on a budget, look for the Flysky GT5 for under $80. If you want more features and quality, sky is the limit.

Hello everyone. Thats really helpful. I'm going to check out all of the above.

If you have money to burn, I've been very happy with my Spektrum dx5 pro. But there are cheaper dx5 versions too.

For what you get I think the pro isnt that expensive - the 5C is surely an alternative but I switched from the 4RPro ...

 

[Dukeofpeckham]

Again, thanks everyone. Super helpful. I'm going to try a week with what comes in the box then explore more. The 5C does look like a good option too. Keep safe all!

I've got the same buggy too and have just bought a Flysky GT5. It's relatively cheap but feels premium and has a gyro and 6 channels. Great handset with lots of features.

Best = 7px for sure

Will the stock receiver on a 6s bind with a new spectrum tx? Like a dx5?

no every model that comes with the STX2 will need a new receiver - most TX however come as bundle and the TX only is typically the exception

That’s crappy. Kinda figured though. It’s too bad it’s all garbage!

you can go with a TX/RX combo and already have one or buy a SR215/315/515 and newer/bigger ... or find a DSMR on ebay or so - I equipped most of my trucks now with the SR215s and they are only ~£25 so not that much of a dent

I don’t need it. I run a futaba px7 but for those that do. It sucks! I have a box of 2 stx2 and two DX2E ready for the garbage bin.

 

[r4nd0m]

you'll be surprised the DX2E is a pretty good TX actually - I assume you are US bound otherwise I'd take one

Best one is subjective, like asking what's the best car, best chick, best beer. Plenty threads in here on radios, do a search and decide for yourself. Possibilitys are endless. Youtube has some very informative comparisons, good luck with your choice. ?

Totally agree!
