Default Best Cheap Stick Transmitter

I am currently looking to purchase my son a cheap stick transmitter and receiver set. He currently uses a Sanwa Gemini X Transmitter which needs replacing.

I was looking at the Core CR151 transmitter and receiver. Are these any good? Or does anyone use one and can give me some feedback please?

Is there any other brands of stick transmitters out there, which are not expensive and come recommended?

Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same conversation on another thread about the etronix, code (same tranny) or looking at futaba t4grs as next best but price difference is quite big 70 quid against 260 quid, or for sticks Sanwa and ko are 500 quid!! seem to have similar features only difference seems to be feel, materials and no one can tell me difference between response times for me to make a decision as to whether worth the extra cost, bit lost really.

Also if you have an etronix buy the core rx's as exactly the same but nearly 10 quid cheaper!

Buy a second hand Sanwa ExzesX or Z. you can get them for £150 in receiver. Also look for Sanwa GeminiX.
KO Espririt 3 are also great.

Nothing wrong with second hand if well looked after.

I wish the z was 150 quid

My lads use a code and etronix both perfectly good for beginners

I use the code radio. Its a great bit of kit for the price with lots of settings. The build quality is a bit to be desired but other than that it's a great bit of kit with a 15 model memory to boot! Plus the cheaper hobbyking receivers work with it.

Sanwa gets my vote. I was told a long time ago when I was flying model aeroplanes that there’s nothing more expensive than a cheap radio
