Just picked up a deal on this guy. Transmitter, lithium battery and two gyro receivers for $50 on Amazon. Finally i can ditch my SLT3 and bind my Granote BLX and Felony to one transmitter. 👍🏽👍🏽

Hopefully big brand companies adjust their prices accordingly, not saying they should sell for the same price bit the gap is getting thinner 😅

I just bought the HotRC version of this (no gyro). I haven't done a test yet, but the naming of the functions is hilarious. I hope I can get firmware that corrects it. If not, it will still make me laugh!

I dig it. I have most of my cars set up with a Flysky GT3B. 2 1/8 race cars, 2 drift cars, TT02R, and a crawler. For the same price, there seems to be a lot more ability to fine tune the radio. Do you do any on road racing? I bet with steering adjusting, it would be great for my TT02R. Great video Troy!

Nope - I have not tried. I actually purchased 2 more of these controllers - and they are now coming with a new gyro program that makes it useless. I have contacted Rlaarlo, but received no response.

Dang, $40 for a color screen and all those channels? I'm gonna be honest, I wasn't thinking too highly of the radio throughout your review bit being that affordable makes it easy to look past all the quirks and odd settings. Check out the dumborc ddf-350 next. I've been using one on a loaner drift chassis for a while now. It works great. Being a dumbo its got great range and is very reliable. Its got a nice screen and alot of easy to use buttons, with all the buttons and receivers that are cheap and included lighting controls I think its one of the best crawler radios on the market for any price. Its even compatible with futaba 4pm steering wheels
