RE: What Radio Control Systems do you all use?
I didn't like the feel of the xs3 it felt a bit cheap and nasty. If you want a decent radio then you can't go wrong with KO propo. They have a good budget set, the Ex 11 presto ( i had one of these when I bought a 2nd hand car and got a set with that). You could always try getting hold of a second hand Ex 1, they have all the toys you could need. I used to have a Ex 10 helios. That is a really good radio pricey but it has a unprogrammable 3rd channel so I had to get rid of it so i could set up my lst properly.
I now use a futaba 3pk it's really top notch, includes batterys and a hrs reciever.
Check on ebay and don't be afraid to get stuff shipped internationally, i have never had a problem just make sure whatever you buy it is either 27mhz or preferably 40mhz. 75mhz is illegal in the UK
