I've been reading where people suggest getting a better radio/receiver right off. What are some good not too expensive models?

DumboRc 6 Channel
You can save a few more $$ if you get the 4 channel but I didn’t see any with prime shipping.
If you want to add a second model of lights winch etcGotcha. Is the only difference the number of channels? Why would I need 4, let alone 6?
New transmitter/receiver is the number one recommended upgrade, many complain of a slight delay in the stock controller. I upgraded from the start, but you can drive the truck before you upgrade. Some people are fine with it.Got it. Is the stock radio really that bad?
I’m gonna have to dig my RC6GS back out and give it a test. I didn’t have good luck with mine, but it’s worth another shot if Phil is saying it’s worthy. I even have a bunch of Rx for it too.This one looks pretty cool. I have seen Phillip Jolley running it long distances for a 137mph Arrma

Brilliant radio for £55 off eBay!
Check out @razorrc reviews on YouTube!
Flysky gt5 is probably cheapest for spec your getting but if your after cheaper still then the Dumborc is the way to go (approx £30)... Whatever you do change the radio though!!. It might be fine for while & if you haven't any experience of RC radios then you may not see what all the fuss is about but trust us all... you won't look back if you upgrade & you always run the risk of lose of control using the stock!I appreciate the recommendation, it just seems like overkill for basic bashing, and is more $ than I would want to spend. I would prefer not to have to spend for something better, as the vehicle should come with a system that's worthy.
Was yours the same as the picture online with 2 antennas? I think that is what makes it special for long distances.I’m gonna have to dig my RC6GS back out and give it a test.

No mine is a single antenna. I will have to see what the dipole antenna entails. Maybe I could adapt it to mine?Was yours the same as the picture online with 2 antennas? I think that is what makes it special for long distances.
