Upon receiving my new ARRMA Typhon 3s last week, the first thing I notice was how cheap the included Spektrum SLT3 radio felt. It feels like a cheap plastic toy I might've gotten out of a vending machine at Chuck E. Cheese. Heck, when I went to put the batteries in it, I couldn't get the stupid battery cover back on w/o sanding down the edges so that the cover fit back in!!!
However, I've got to wonder... is it good enough for my needs? Other than how it feels in my hand, would I benefit at all from a more expensive model?
I'm a hobbyist at best... it's likely my Typhon will only get run a few times a year, especially since it's nearly Winter and I have no where to drive the car for the next 6 months. As such, is there any reason to "upgrade" to a more expensive model like the DX5C or what that be a total waste of money?
