Kraton V4 FlySky GT3C to replace my STX2? Range?

[Yonic]

What's the issue with older protocol versus new?

as I wrote in the response above:

I would choose the newer version, mostly because in two years when you’ll need more receivers or a replacement remote, it will be more likely that you’ll find it.

oh wow, it's you! Funny, as I just watched one of your video comparisons. I read your blog thank you. Good detail. Futaba 3PV is a strong contender, but it's pricey in my country. I am now leaning toward the Flysky GT5... but it's a risk as I'll need to ship from USA to NZ and support will be nil.

Cool, yeah I post a bit on this forum and a couple of others. Used to have a blog, but switched to YouTube a few years back.

The RC community appreciates you man! Thank you for your videos. Good, solid info.

update:
The internet says that of the models I've narrowed it down to, Futaba is the winner.
However, I can get a flysky GT5 from overseas (3-4 week shipping gamble and basically no warranty) from amazon for cheaper.

Then last night I had a run at another carpark location and it was fine on the old STX2. Who knows when it will next malfunction..... I suppose, common sense would suggest that I upgrade my radio gear before I damage the kraton, someones property or a human.

I have bought a flysky gt5 overseas also, no problems or disfunction whatsoever, great radio to replace the stock one.

And rebranded as by hobbyking.

If your in oz, I'd just get the Tatic TTX-300 and receiver from jrc on ebay, good value for money and very reliable
