I bought one of these and have it on the way, but I got it for a plane. I agree it's a good deal, it will have to work pretty crappy to not be worth 30 bucks lol. I bought a extra rx to try and use it on my crawler, but it will stink having to readjust the trim each time I guess. Problem with using it on regular cars is that it probably doen'st have the spring to return the throttle etc

yea, the spring thing occured to me, but maybe i could program the esc to recognize the other stick for forward/reverse and the throttle stick for left/right. lol. i will probably get it anyway.

Well sure it's coming from china, so the shipping costs a bit. I was already getting a plane and a few other things, for a airplane, that tx/rx, several other parts, and a battery charger and supply it cost me around 50 something for shipping, but yeah, might not be the greatest for cars. I wish they would make a surface, pistol radio, I'm sure it would be around the same price or maybe even cheaper since it would only have to hve two or three channels etc

Look at the postage table (at the top under"customer community", it looks like it is actually pretty cheap shipping. But maybe I am missing something.
