Default New radio controller

I have a exceed .16 one speed buggy which I think is the Redcat Shockwave or the Tornado XP. I would like to purchase a better controller since it appears that I am having problems with my controller. It appears that I am lose the signal when often. I have already installed a fail safe. Thanks in advance.

its an upgrade from stock, if i has limited money (most of us do including me haha) i would just get that, its not the very best but you will have less problems. Ive had 5 of these rc's and ive had no problems with any of the radios

keep an eye on ebay for a jr xs3.... sometimes you can get sweet deals on them new....most I payed for one was like $80 and I have 4 of them....they are a 3 channel fm system that has no crystals...you dial in the frequency you want to run on between 30 channels...much better radio then what you posted...and like I said if your patient you can get good deals on them (thats if I dont see em first..lol)

I found one on ebay that comes with the following. Will these servos work on my 1/10 buggy?

JR XS3 Synth FM Pistol w/1 SZ590 & SZ270 JRP317275

Yes, those servos would work great. Any standard sized servos will work in your buggy.

to use the servos you will need to use different servo horns...but the servos themselves will fit in the buggy
