Default What receiver for spektrum?

Hi guys. I've got a Clark board on the way for my HL PzIII. I have a new in the box DX6i radio that i'm going to use with it. I thought it came with a receiver, but I guess it doesn't. Any recommendations on what to buy? I've only used the Heng Long radios up till now so this'll be my first time using hobby grade stuff, so something easy to bind/setup would be ideal.

thanks in advance,
bhop

For the price of a genuine Spektrum receiver you can have three or four Orange 6 channel receivers that Hobbyking sells. I use them alongside my Spektrum with identical results.

Agreed. Have used them and sold them with no issue of any kind.

You may also want to consider a stick centering kit.
I didn't bother to start with until a few friendly fire incidents!

This is actually something I was planning to look into.
