There are better radios, but that one is Ok. Years light ahead than the Fuaba anyway, and for a fraction the price.

Receivers also easily available and affordable.

Any radio in the market will work with that tank.
That radio will come with the receiver.

All the radios work with all the tanks.

The more channels the better.

Of course I meant with hobby electronics, not those.
BUT all those boards have a flysky chip receiver inside, so it means it is possible to control them with a hobby radio, we just need somebody with interest in cracking the code.

At least that is what Kevin from RC tanks australia told me.
