Key Features

• Dedicated Steering Wheel Form Factor — The transmitter features a wheel-style control interface, which is the standard layout preferred by RC car drivers because it provides intuitive steering control that mirrors full-size vehicle operation and allows for smooth, progressive input during cornering and high-speed runs.
• Complete TX/RX Package — You receive both the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) as a matched pair, meaning you have everything needed to control compatible FTX vehicles without purchasing separate components, saving you time and ensuring perfect compatibility right out of the box.
• No Gyro Configuration — This system operates without an integrated gyro stabilisation system, which means you get pure, unfiltered driver input and vehicle response; this is preferred by experienced drivers who want maximum control authority and the ability to add their own gyro if desired for specific tuning.
• Wide Vehicle Compatibility — The FTX EVO30 Radio System is compatible with multiple FTX models including the FTX EVO30 1/10 Brushed Street Car RTR (both Red and Black variants), the FTX EVO30 1/10 Brushless Street RTR Car (Red and Black versions), and the FTX MK2RS 1/10th Brushless Rally Car RTR (White and Black), giving you flexibility across FTX's street and rally lineup.
• Professional Build Quality — FTX radios are recognised for their durability and consistent performance in real-world RC car UK driving conditions, from casual gardens to more demanding outdoor tracks.

Technical Performance

The FTX EVO30 Radio System represents solid engineering at an accessible price point. This transmitter and receiver combination delivers the channel count and response speed necessary for precise RC car control, whether you're running brushless or brushed electric motors.

The receiver is compact, allowing for easy installation in 1/10-scale vehicles, and the overall system is built to FTX's quality standards, which have earned respect among UK RC enthusiasts and bashers.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which FTX vehicles is this radio system compatible with? — The FTX EVO30 Radio System TX/RX is designed to work with FTX5491R and FTX5491BK (EVO30 1/10 Brushed Street Car RTR in Red and Black), FTX5493R and FTX5493BK (EVO30 1/10 Brushless Street RTR Car in Red and Black), and FTX5470W and FTX5470BK (MK2RS 1/10th Brushless Rally Car RTR in White and Black). If you own one of these models and need to replace a damaged radio or upgrade from a previous system, this is the correct choice.
• Is this suitable for beginners to RC car UK hobbies? — Yes, absolutely. The steering wheel interface is intuitive and familiar to anyone who has driven a remote-control vehicle before. The straightforward operation without integrated gyro systems means there are fewer electronic variables to worry about, making it ideal for learners. If you're new to RC cars and purchasing a ready to run FTX EVO30 vehicle, this radio system will give you reliable, responsive control right from your first drive.
• What does "without gyro" mean, and does that matter? — A gyro is an electronic stabilisation system that helps counteract unwanted yaw (spinning) during cornering and acceleration. "Without gyro" means this system relies entirely on driver input and vehicle setup for handling. This is actually preferred by many experienced drivers because it gives them more direct control and feedback. If you want gyro-assisted stability, you would need to purchase a gyro module separately and integrate it into your vehicle's electronics. For most recreational drivers, the gyro-free setup is perfectly fine and actually more fun because you can feel the vehicle responding directly to your inputs.
• Can I use this radio with brushless or brushed RC cars? — Yes, this radio system works with both brushless and brushed electric RC cars. The FTX EVO30 range includes both brushed and brushless versions of the street car, and this same radio controls both types equally well. The radio itself is independent of motor type — it only sends steering and throttle commands, which work regardless of whether your vehicle has a brushless or brushed motor driving it.
• What do I need to have to use this radio system? — You need a compatible FTX vehicle that includes an ESC (electronic speed controller) with receiver binding capability. The receiver included in this package will bind to your vehicle's ESC. You'll also need to provide power to the transmitter using appropriate batteries. Once you have a compatible vehicle and transmitter batteries, you're ready to bind and drive.
• Is this a ready to run radio system? — This is a radio system component rather than a complete ready to run package. You receive the transmitter and receiver, but you need to pair it with a compatible FTX vehicle. If you're purchasing an FTX EVO30 or MK2RS ready to run vehicle, this radio system will work perfectly with it. Alternatively, if you already own a compatible vehicle and need to replace or upgrade its radio system, this is an excellent choice.
