Some love them, some hate them. Son has an etronix one ( same, just a different brand) and we've had no problems. I know of at least 2 other users at kiddy club who are using them without issues.

Makes sure you get the newer one with the blue receiver, lots of people moaned about binding problems with the older black ones.

My only significant observation is that is a little small for adult hands but that is good for younger drivers.

the lcd one is very good value. lots of adjustments. the non lcd is a bit too basic cant even adjust endpoints AFAIK.

I used the lcd wiyh no problems, Nori and his lads use them and seem to like them

I also found the pointy bits a little sharp so sanded them down a little

I had one for a month it failed. Got a replacement and it was going berserk was inference constantly. It now resides in the bottom of the cupboard never to see the light of day again.

I've had a go of people's cars helping them find out what's wrong handling wise and found that there is a delay between the car and Transmitter even in HRS mode. So if the backend of the car steps out then you will struggle to catch it.

The transmitter is the most important piece of RC equipment. No point in throwing money at a car when you can't control it.

Save your money and put it towards a Sanwa Genimi 2.4.
