Which Stick Controller?

Dazzle · #1 20-11-2013

Hi. Im on the lookout for a stick remote to get me back into buggy racing. Ive been out of the rc scene for over20 years now, so as you can imagine, just about everything has changed!! Ive been reading how important it is to have a decent remote, and so im looking for a bit of advice please. Ive been looking at the etronix gt3pro, is this any good? Or could anyone recommend something better second hand? I have a budget for the radio and receiver of around £ 70 as I still have everything else to buy aswell yet!! Lol. Thanks Darren

I'd try stretch and get a second hand KO Propo Esprit 2 or Esprit 3 Universe. they are excellent. old 40mhz variants can be easily converted to use the FRSky 2.4Ghz system, with £13 receivers available, or you can find them with spektrum or KO modules. There are plenty for sale if you look.

I would deffo try any you were thinking about, if you can.

Not all sticks feel the same.

You can get a used Futaba 3GR 2.4ghz for about that price. Fantastic computer radio without a massive price tag. Mine has been faultless for 7 years.

Personally wouldn't waste my cash on any of the budget brands.
