Hey fellow RCIndians,
I'm quite new to this forum, only been a few months, and I needed some help with my controller, so here goes.
I currently have a 27Mhz Carson Reflex Wheel controller to erm.. control my Tamiya TT-01. However, recently I have been faced with rather unusual interference problems, and the receiver does not detect the controller until its 5 com away from the antenna... (not exaggerating!). So in my searches of the mighty internet, I stumbled across an Ebay item sold by a shop called "Rcforall", somewhere in Chennai. The ad read 2.4 Ghz trigger style controller (exactly what i was looking for), but what really caught my eye was the price tag: Rs.2100 + delivery. To confirm, i went to their website, and it said the same thing. So i decided to do a bit of research into this controller.
The model name is FS-GT2... its apparently a good controller for beginners(kinda what I am, really...), and the price is frankly amazing. So what say you, fellow forumers?

p.s. Should mention, my budget is tighter than jeans soaked in water overnight  ;D  ;) ...

I'll ask some people I know and let you know more.But from what I have read,the GT3B is good.Haven't read much about the GT2.Will let you know.

Hey Gandhar!...
yeah, the GT3B... I did hear about it... let me do a bit of snooping around, and a lot of convincing parents, and that may soon be my weapon of choice. The GT2 is $20 abroad, but here its more like 40, so if the 3B is similarly priced it may be in the $70-80 region (i.e. Rs. 4000), which is a hard hit. ;D
Thanks a lot btw :)
