HOTRC DS-600 6CH 2.4GHz RC Transmitter and Receiver Remote Controller with DS 600 PWM 6 Channel Receiver for RC Boat (w/PWM RX)

Bought to use on a RC lawn mower that I didn't want to use my expensive drone controller for. This one is actually very well made and feels quite durable. The setup is very poorly documented and it's likely they didn't even use google translate to generate the translation for it. However it is fairly easy to figure out and basically has 2 operating modes. One is standard Channel one is forward and back and channel 2 is left and right on the joystick. mode 2 is differential steering for channel 1 and 2 (or 3&4 if you set that up) This is where you would set up a tracked or "Skid steer" control. if things seem to be spinning the wrong direction make sure to just change the direction your motors spin instead of trying to re-program the controller as you would normally. Range is great and the included receiver has device battery telemetry meaning it can tell you what the voltage is on your RC vehicle.

I haven’t used on a finished model yet. But seems to work well and should work well with my radio control boat.

The system worked incredibly well for my robotic arm project! I can control the full range of motion, and it features a button that is only active while held down, which is perfect for grabbing objects. Signal Performance The signal operates at an impressive range—I'm estimating around 200 feet—without any noticeable cutouts. Cost-Effectiveness Considering the price, it's a fantastic value, especially since I can bind two receivers. This setup allows me to control lights in the direction I'm moving, with the second receiver connected to LEDs that correspond to that direction. Overall, it has been a great addition to my project! UPDATE!!! controller dies after 8 minutes even after full charge

I'm using this with my 1/18 rc crawler. I love how small it is compared to the transmitter that came with the truck, which was almost as big as the truck! Perfect to have your rc car moving along with you while walking, since you can walk normally with your arms down instead of holding a controller with both hands. Was very easy to set up. The instructions are really poorly written, but there are some youtube videos made by the company that explain things better. One thing not mentioned in the instructions is that channels 3 and 4 work as toggles. This was perfect for me because I needed a toggle to change transmission speeds. If I hadn't watched the youtube video I wouldn't have known that and probably would have returned it.

I bought this controller for my kayak project. I use it to control my trolling motor, and with one hand I can do steering and speed. It is great for fishing, as it allows me to make quick adjustments without having to set my rod down. It has plenty of range, and the rechargeable battery in the remote makes it to where I never have to worry about the battery dying while I'm on the water. I can just plug it in to my battery bank on my kayak. It is small, light weight, durable, and the ease of use is amazing. It is a great, inexpensive way to get into building your own rc projects.

Both receivers are dead. They don’t power up. The transmitter powers up well and the display seems to work. Without the receivers I’m stuck. YouTube videos are useless. It has to be the worse purchase I have done in Amazon. I can’t return the purchase because I’m out of town.

Unique due to small size, not like many other controllers that are large with dual joysticks. Cruise control works well.

Not seen any other one-handed, wireless UI item like this out there and it works great, and is so low cost! Buying some backups and for future DIY projects. 1) Above the (2) throttle and stirring channels of the thumb stick, it actually has (4) more RC channels as ON/OFF buttons on it that can be used for whatever On/Off use-cases you want. 2) It has a very cool "carpal tunnel preventer" ... a throttle trigger button on the front that locks the throttle level for cruising at a set speed vs. pushing stick FWD all the time. Even has wrist strap so you don't drop it, or free your hands up while it hangs. 3) Hooked the RC receiver it includes to Arduinos and ESP32's and it receives standard PWM pulses and it is very easily a cool wireless UI device for DIY projects or even controlling standard (2 CH) RC vehicles.

Works awesome! Battery voltage telemetry is glitchy where it doesn’t get signal back all the time but other than that it’s good.

Fonctionne tres bien bonne distance facile à configurer

Worked great out of the box. The instructions were not great. I'm using it for a kayak trolling motor control and steering. Forward and reverse seem a little sensitive but I just lock it in a low speed and I'm able to toggle it up or down to increase the speed. The extra channels allow for a lot of additional outputs which is nice. For the price you can't go wrong.

Fonctionne très bien pour contrôler mon moteur minn kota de kayak

Junk. Won’t allow forward and steering at same time. . Tried every option to fix it. Watch out for return scam. Have to drop at UPS depot extremely inconvenient when there isn’t one in my town. Waste of time. Threw it out. Actually kinda mad about this one.
