do you think this is a good deal

Looks like a great deal for the budget racer.They even have receivers to suit for $22.95.Would be best to check if they have end point adjustment etc.

my question is what is a bind cable? hopefully you wouldn't have to use this every time you turned the system on. not a bad price but i would be interested in knowing how well it does before i picked one up.

Probably like the bind plug Spektrum uses on it's airplane receivers. Only used to bind the TX/RX, then it isn't needed again until you want to re-bind the system.

ok.. my m11 don't use one so that's why i was clueless on them.

I am liking our Traxxas Link radios right now. I got three (2 for the kids)... folks are parting them out from kits for about $75 on ebay (tx & rx). The receivers are about $38 each and you can run 20 models off one transmitter. Not all fancy, but at only 4 batteries in the tx I am saving from having to charge 96 AAs before we go out for the day.
Plus if we ever break a transmitter I know we'll be able to find a replacement... some of those knock-offs are truly disposable. To each his own though.

I am happy with the TowerHobbies model 224.

I picked up a new Losi handset for my micro crawler, and 3 sr300 spektrum rxs for $100 the lot, which pair to the Losi fine, all in all a good system for all my micros for around $150.
The Traxxas Summit radio with 4ch is avaailable in 2.4 about $100 on ebay as well.
