For a budget radio i can recomend the flysky FS-GT3B cant beat it bang for buck.

That's good to hear, i bought one for my cars or trucks but didn't dare to use it on water because i remember sometime ago there was some problem with 2.4 ghz radio used on water crafts. (primarily the first generation from either Spektrum or JR--don't remember exactly which brand but Horizon Hobby carried them). I compared this to a Tactic the only thing i found which was interesting was that the servo channel was not as smooth. ( ch.1) I had ordered five receivers so i tried everyone of them, same thing. For boats i guess it is not much of a concern, for slow precise Rock Crawling might be a different story.
