New to this hobby, but don't have too much money right now. Want a cheap RC remote with atleast 600m range and >5channels for a start.

Rcb6i (6 channel)is the best transmitter from rcbazaar and available for 3250.

Anything above 4ch will cost you atleast 2500-3000
At best price .... try flysky 6 ch radio or go to rcbazaar. Com

If you want even cheaper then you should look for a second hand radio

And FHSS protocol radio which is frequency hopping system will give you half KM easy range

Avionic RCB 6i good Tx for 3250/- ...I had a great beginners experience on this one.

Well, it shows that the shopping cost is 810. I contacted them, they don't ship via ems speed post, and the lowest available shipping cost would be 590. I think the shipping charge is a bit high. If only they could lower it

My advice would be to buy the very best radio you can afford, even if you have to save for a bit. The radio is a major investment and I would suggest you buy one that will last. I bought an Avionic RCB6i and though it was a good beginner's radio, I outgrew it quickly.

I got myself a Turnigy 9XR with a FrSky DJT module. It has a 8 channels, a easy to read 128x64 screen and supports very powerful open source firmware. The FrSky module is reported to have 1.5 km range and it supports telemetry, which displays information such as signal strength and battery voltage on your radio screen (though the 9XR itself does not support this). If it had fit my budget, I would have got the FrSky Taranis, which probably is the best radio in its class.

you could go for futaba T6J tx at a price of Rs.9000 from irshad delhi.
Its a good investment and lasts long in the hobby.
