Yep the second run on my brand new notto and i cut it on and five seconds later it took off wide open for five seconds then stopped then went backwards. I wouldnt trust a stx2 no more than i would trust a fart.?

Iv had this sitting around for a while and was going to throw it into the infraction but after what happend yesterday, it’s going into the Kraton.
This is whats left of the rear left tyre. It happend so fast I didn’t even realise what happend. Thank god my kids weren’t around.

Old news.

I’m making people aware of the issue.
People who just joined the forum yesterday may not have a clue about the TX.

Possibly......... This is probably the second time in a year since iv owned the vehicle iv flicked this switch.
On N she runs fine.

That is true! I understand what @arrmadillo means by "old news", but really not many people know HOW BAD these radios are. Everyone know about the delay but not it taking off on you!

At least the new V5 models are coming out with better radios from what I've read

Thr SLT3 is light years better.

Hopefully....The STX2 has its lag issues but what happend in the garage yesterday was full on. Especially when you’re not expecting it. The car was out of control!!

Keep it civil man. We have plenty of post for newcomers to get info on it. So relax it's Xmas.

Makes me glad I bought the Kraton EXB and purchased my preferred radio ??

Hello! I am pretty new to RC in general and I picked up a v4 outcast and I have this radio system. STX2 and I'm noticing a lot of lag, especially in reverse. Is there a user guide on how to adjust your radio?

Also I am interested in buying an upgraded radio transmitter and receiver, any suggestions? It'll only be used for this one truck. I don't mind paying a little extra for a nicer setup.

I ran the STX2 for nearly a year. The delay issues didn’t bother me enough to swap the radio out. It’s when it becomes a safety issue like in the video posted is when it becomes a concern.
I ran a TTX300 with the Yeti XL. That radio wasn’t too bad or you can go the Flysky GT2. I haven’t used that TX before but it’s cheap and more than likely better than the STX2.

This isn't the answer you wanted to hear, but it's inevitable.
There's no fixing the delay (to my understanding) nor would I trust that radio, I honestly would suggest you look at something better.
I'm positive people have affordable and very good radios they can suggest, I was plagued with range issues until I bought a Futaba T4PM (also had an adjustable 3rd channel so I could run a torque limiter)
