Nice price but BEWARE, i don't think they are the genuine article.
Compare the targethobby pic with the horizon hobbies pic...not the same unit. I think the Target Hobby pic shows a "6400l" not the unit with the brushless esc.
I have had issues before with a targethobby "Spektrum" 6100 ...would not bind
Also the specs from Horizon rate it for 3 amps continuous not 6 amps as claimed on the Targethobbies site.
And the genuine AR6400lbl dsm2 is discontinued, replaced by the 6410lbl dsmx

Target hobby is a known clone/counterfeit reseller. I've bought Spektrum Rx from them before that are obvious fakes although they did seem to work.

Hmm, very tempting.

I have been holding off on the purchase of the Spectrum real-deal units due to the outrageous price. If these Target Hobby units work, then it would be worth giving them a try.

Anyone else had any experience with them?

I've had several orders from Target, including HiTec servos in the original packages. Also tried the very cheap Spektrum cloned Rx's with reasonable success.....just don't put them in a prized possession. Their 4 hex drivers for $7.03 have lasted for years..!

This combo unit may not give much grief if used indoors.

Shipping is fast, pgk values are "likeable"...!

And it can be converted to two cell brushless using a diode in the power line after initiating in brushless mode by holding a certain stick configuration.
