We have awesome sticky threads for batteries and chargers, didn't spot one for radios. If there is in fact a thread for radios please inform me and I'll delete this thread and redirect.
Interested in hearing people's experiences with radios. I'm thinking about upgrading but not sure if it'll be worth my while.
Currently my best radio is the Spektrum DX5C. I can't really fault it all too much, aside from finding it slightly sluggish in response. I bought it for the model memory, I quite like AVC in some situations and most of my cars came with Spektrum receivers so it was a logical choice.
However as my fleet grows, I'm trying different brands (with non Spektrum electronics) and I'm getting into roller models, I'm looking for a final solution to bind multiple cars to. The DX5C is performing okay however the cost of receivers makes it an expensive option as the number of cars I have grow.
So I'm looking for a transmitter with inexpensive receivers, gyro capability, multiple model memory, responsiveness, and a range of adjustment options beyond the RTR radios. Super long range isn't really necessary but I'll take it as an added bonus. Likewise with telemetry capabilities.

Been researching the:
- Futaba 4PM (seems to tick all the boxes sans a neat gyro integration and the most expensive option)
- Flysky Noble FS-NB4 (same caveats as Futaba)
- Flysky GT5 (cheap receivers with gyro built in)
- Radiolink RC6GS (as per Fkysky GT5)
