Delinx 4 8 Channels 2.4GHz Long Range RC Transmitter and Receiver Remote Control Motor Controller kit for DIY Kids Toys Projects (8 Channels)

This is great for DIY projects. It's cheap (affordable) for a reason. The initial rewire to put it all into an old toy boat for my kid was fairly easy. Simple. Straightforward. To get the antenna range it is capable of, I had to do a little bit of research into the correct positioning for a 2.4ghz receiver antenna. I also pulled the controller open and used a soldering iron to remove buttons in the controller that were not needed for the boat. The boat ran perfectly. Then? A couple of my son's younger friends SANK the boat...and put the controller in the bottom of the pool as well. The electronics are not waterproof. So....I'll be buying a second one soon. :-)

I have a remote control car that I made. I used this transmitter and receiver to connect to motor controllers which allow the car to turn left or right. I found it easy to figure out what channel matched what wire with a volt meter. My car runs great and can accept multiple signals at the same time with this transmitter at the same time. I recommend this to a hobbyist that wants 8 channels with a 3volt receiver. I ended up using a step down buck module that turned 12volts into the correct voltage not to fry this device as the voltage it needs a lower amount.

For the most part it preformed as hoped. Perfect for a tracked vehicle. The only reason I took a star away was because one motor will not drive reverse. When I look at what similar units go for, at $16 I really can't be to hard on them. Overall, I'm pleased.

I was very existed trying to make a rc for the first time and was met with disappointment. The receiver was not fully soldered on, I had to add my own solder because the led was wiggling and about to fall out of the holes on the board. The controller and receiver would also not connect their was barely any information to google about the receiver to see if there was any special things needed to be done. Over all I had to return it because I could not get it to work.

I bought this in order to control two dc motors for an RC boat. The left d pad works as it's supposed to 90% of the way. Forward and backward make it turn in opposite directions of each other and so does left and right. However the full power output button does not work at all on the left d pad. This is made up for in the right d pad as the full power output is the only thing that works. In fact no matter which button you hit on the right d-pad the only thing you'll get with the right button is full power output that makes it so the left d pad is completely unresponsive and the other motor stops working entirely. I bought two of them and they both act this way. I wouldn't recommend anyone buying these.
