Radiomaster TX16s is the best thing you can buy as today. Cheap, comes with a multiprotocol module so you can use ANY brand of receivers with it including those you already have, 16 channels, color screen, and you dont pay overpriced spectrum prices.

I still stand by the flysky i10. Best radio I have and wouldn't trade it for all the tea in China. I use it to run my Jagdtiger and the extra channels come in handy for stuff like the servo operated bow machine gun, and I also run my jewel, the 1/6 Hetzer on it and it's just been a joy to use. For guys like Rad, that seem to have been born with a programmable radio in one fist and a TBS clone in the other these things are a piece of cake and the latest is usually the greatest, but for a Gomer like me that couldn't program my way out of a paper bag, this radio has been a Godsend. When I did the Hetzer there were several things I wanted to do but didn't know how, and believe it or not, the radio itself actually taught me how do do the things I wanted to do. It has a comprehensive, built in help section that makes life much, much easier for Gomers like me, and it's very easy to carry out the instructions in the help section. And to charge the battery I can use a simple phone charger. Once it's charged I can run it all weekend and still have plenty of juice to spare.

Walmart even has them for less than $150 delivered.
