Need advice on radio equipment
Hey everyone I just bought a ofna x1 crt truggy to start a project on. I have a futaba and an AE servo that came with the car that I will use until it needs replacing I need all the other electronics though battery reciever and remote this is my first project and I'm still pretty new to the hobby so bare with me please. I was looking at traxxas stuff to use because I'm not a racer I play in the yard and occasionally go to the track so I don't need anything fancy or expensive so is the traxxas stuff the way to go? I appreciate your suggestions and comments a link to a complete set up I can buy would be awesome here is the link to the stuff I'm currently looking at to buy. Thanks again

that one u linked no...
U really want to find a 2.4ghz controller they can be as cheap as $30, but id recommend looking into a FS GT3c they are $58 including postage... its a little fancy for what u want. but for the price u cant go wrong. u could get something less fancy but its not going to be any cheaper and wont have all the needed adjustments

Later on if u ever get another car, the receivers are $8

Personally I would steer clear from Traxxas stuff unless u get a great deal on something second hand. like a TQ 2.4ghz for $20 or something...even then they are a pain to set the steering endpoints....The only Traxxas controller ive found easy to set up is a TQi with a ipod docked... but that gets expensive
