I've decided I'm too indecisive, so I'm asking everyone else to make up my mind.

Should I go with the CT6B from hobbypartz or the Turnigy 9X from HobbyKing?
At this point, I am only into off-road, so number of channels isn't an issue. I currently have 1 buggy, but will be getting at least 1 more in the future. I may also get into flying, haven't completely decided on that, yet. I've narrowed my radio choices down to these 2. I'm just not sure if having the screen would really be worth the cost, as it would be 3x the price of the hobbypartz one.

Cost is a the main concern, but I also want to get the most for my money. So, what would you do?

What about one of these for the cars? Then you could worry about the airplane stuff later.

they have some in the US warehouse for a few bucks more. I'm not a car guy, but you only need 2 channels for most cars, right?

Thank you, but

I need it to be a stick radio. I have a disease that makes my hands shake (similar to parkinsons) and I've had issues with pistol grips. So, by holding the tx with both hands, as well as using a finger and thumb on the sticks, I will have much more control.

I like chocolate milk. From Fosters home for imaginary friends.

Of the two listed, I would say the 9X. It has a lot more useful features and will do a lot more. If you can wait for it, I would go that way. Plus there is a ton of things you can do with it. You can reprogram it for better mixing and add features.

Ok, I understand now. This one looks a lot like my Futaba 9C. Looks like it could be a good radio for the money.

If only it was instock I guess it gives me an excuse to pick up a few other things first.

Do NOT wait to order it until it says "in stock" or you'll never get it. When they get them in they're gone in a heartbeat!! Just order it now and you'll have one in a few weeks.

CreemCheese

Thank you for the advice. Do you know if they charge now, or when it is shipped?

If I can remember, and it was 6 months ago when I ordered mine when it was out of stock and received it within 3 weeks, I think my credit card wasn't charged till they shipped it but don't quote me on that!!!

Sorry no! They charge at once, infact one order of mine had out of stock materials, I paid for them but after a month waiting I cancelled the order and get a credit for the same ammount.
