Kraton Looking for suggestions on upgraded RC controller

[Jarrma]

Looking for recommendations for a controller that I can use for multiple cars also will I have to outfit each car with a like reciever. New to the RC world

Not sure about RV controllers, but for RC cars I would recommend this short list:

Radiolink
Futaba 3PV
Spektrum DX5 series
Flysky Noble

You will need to purchase receivers for each RC to work with the new radio.
For that reason, part of the decision process is how much do you want to spend on recievers?

While I personally am a advocate for Futaba radios due to feel and range abilities.... you may not want to spend 40+ per receiver.

For that reason lower cost receiver/radio options might be a wise choice for you.
I have seen RadioLink RC4GS mentioned often on the forum lately. They are available on Amazon and receivers are 1/2 or less price of Futaba.

There is also Spektrum DX5 and other similar radios that are fine if you don't need long range. (beyond 600ft)

I would suggest checking out the Futaba line-up. I have their Futaba 4PL and am in absolute love with it.

Fly sky gt3b. It’s an older model flysky but it works great, stores 10 receivers, and is cheap! Also the receivers are 5 bucks a peice last time I checked

good suggestions here.
like said, all depends what you want to spend, and how many receivers you plan on getting.
Having a receiver for each car is a lot nicer than having to move just one around and change its settings each time.
Tons of good radios on the market now.

whats your price range/budget? how many receivers do you need?

I upgraded from a DX4r Pro to the DX5 Pro - which is a really nice transmitter - I like the various options the previous 4 gave me and the 5 does now - receivers depending on the model you have can be in the £30 range to more expensive with all the bells and whistles like on the Kraton 8S which gives you AVC, SMART and stuff ... still exploring the capabilities but it fits like a glove if not you can make it fit by altering it ...

here is a review

I was a loyal Spektrum fanboy. Then I wanted something different. I went with a Furaba 7px. Love it.

When I change everything over will go with Futuba, probably the 4 series.

Is the ability to adjust the AVC gyro function on the fly important to you?
For me I typically get it set the way I like it and never touch it...

If you are good with setting it and never adjusting on the fly, this is a simple and relatively low cost solution SkyRc GC301

I have the Yeah Racing version of that SkyRC gyro and I gotta say it’s pretty useless. You need to turn it up to about 50% for there to be enough travel to make a difference. Problem with that is that once you get moving it’s too sensitive and it makes the wheels go back and forth. Turn it down a tad and then there’s no effect at all. I’m going to be removing mine going forward.

Ill recommend the Flysky FS-GT5 again. I love it. Best radio Ive had. Use it on all my Arrma's.

After the poopy stock one, took a futaba3 . It went better but software is like the stock transmitter... poopy! One step you do the setup is great! Actually you dond’t need something else! The problem with the 3pv is only to reach an acceptable setup but it will be definitely 1000 times better than stock one! I took used on eBay a futaba t4px for less than 300 box(new 650) and I must say... now I am happy
