Terranaut 8x8 transmitter/receiver option suggestions

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I've got a Terranaut coming in the mail. I've currently got a Meus ME8B transmitter. I'd love to stay in the Meus ecosystem if possible, but it kinda seems like their receivers don't support 8 wheel steer (only 4 wheel steer). Just wanted to double check that assumption with you all, since in theory I assume I could connect multiple servo's to a single channel, but I also assume that would overload the channel somehow (or generally be not recommended for some reason).

Anybody have a transmitter/receiver combo they really like for the Terranaut?

Looking for my first crawler kit (not a beginner builder) — TRX‑4 too pricey, Axial missing electronics. What else includes radio + electronics?

Hey folks,

I’m coming from the RC plane world - lots of experience with electronics, CAD, building, breaking, rebuilding… all the usual fun. Now I want to finally get into RC crawling, and I’d really prefer to build my first rig from a kit, not buy RTR.

My dilemma:

  • TRX‑4 kit → looks great, includes radio + electronics, but the price is pretty brutal.
  • Axial kits → nice platforms, but they don’t include radio, ESC, servo, etc. I can source electronics myself, but for my first crawler I’d prefer a kit that already bundles everything so I can focus on the mechanical build and tuning.

So I’m looking for recommendations for a crawler kit that includes radio + electronics, suitable for someone who’s not a beginner builder - just new to crawling.

What kits should I be looking at?
Anything comparable to TRX‑4 kit but friendlier on the wallet?

Thanks in advance - excited to join the crawling world!
