I was late to the Spektrum band wagon, but I'm impressed, nonetheless. The radio feels great and operates very smoothly. I actually bought a second receiver to use this one radio in two trucks that I own. A Savage, and a Vaterra Ascender. Works perfectly in both trucks, and I've had zero issues with it. Using only 4 AA batteries keeps the radio light and the steering wheel feels solid in your fingertips. I think I'm still using the same AA's I installed when I bought this radio!
This is a great radio. I use it for my Tamiya Hornet EVO and it works perfectly for that application and for the price you can’t go wrong. If you are serious about racing this is not the radio for you, but if you are just bashing in a dirt lot and don’t want to spend a bunch of money this radio is a great option.
This transmitter is a perfect entry level transmitter. It’s cheap, probably could be cheaper, but cheap enough. It is not confusing. The best part is that it has a throttle limit switch for 50/75/100 percent throttle which is great for my six year old. As another person mentioned, the power switch is recessed which makes it slightly inconvenient but not unmanageable. Overall this is great and the quality is much better than a mega cheap Amazon unit.
I did not buy this radio directly, but it came equipped in my Arrma Fireteam. For a cheap RTR transmitter it gets the job done, but it does feel about as cheap as any pack-in RTR transmitter. The worst part of the design is the power button. It is recessed into a hole and only about 1/4" wide. If you have adult-size fingers, it is difficult to press the button and turn on / off. I can just about press it by pointing my pinky finger straight into the hole. I will give it a bonus point for having a steering dual-rate knob, so not as bad as the cheapest of the cheap radios. For high powered vehicles (like a 6S Fireteam) it would be nice to have a throttle rate knob or 3 position switch to turn the power down for novice drivers, but maybe that is asking too much.
Four reviewers rate the Spektrum SLT3 3-channel surface radio highly for entry-level use, with three giving 5/5 and one 3/5. Reviewers say it feels solid, operates smoothly, and works well across multiple vehicles, including a Savage, Vaterra Ascender, Tamiya Hornet EVO and Arrma Fireteam. A throttle limit switch is praised for novice drivers. Reviewers agree it is inexpensive but feel cheap for the price, and the recessed power button is the recurring complaint, described as hard to press for adult fingers. One reviewer notes it lacks throttle rate control for high-powered vehicles and is not suited to serious racing.
