Traxxas TQi 2.4Ghz 2-Channel Radio System (Link Enabled) (Transmitter Only)
These are just fine transmitters. Their range is acceptable, they feel...fine, and mine has lasted me nearly 10 years at this point.

The main downside: configuration. The bluetooth integration is a cute marketing ploy, but its implementation is pretty poor. The phone app is clunky and tedious to use, making changes to a vehicle's configuration is so clumsy it would be hilarious were it not so infuriating. The worst of it: the updates.

These obligatory firmware updates take an absolute age to perform, and do absolutely nothing of value. They do not suddenly make the transmitter more capable, more user friendly, give it improved range...nothing. It is a pointless and exceedingly annoying technical addition to an R/C experience. This is made worse by there being zero reason to open the app when running the R/C 99% of the time. The only time you do open the app is to adjust something, and to be forcibly delayed for 5 minutes while some stupid firmware gets updated is ludicrously annoying.

So here's the rub: I have decided to remove this transmitter from my life. It isn't good enough to put up with the annoying technology they force upon you. If you want to have a transmitter that "just works", and you have a Traxxas receiver, pick up a regular TQ version. The non-"i" version of these transmitters performs identically in every meaningful way to this one, same range, same responsiveness, same feel in the hand. Its only missing the useless bluetooth integration.
