RC Surface Transmitters

We stock radio control transmitters for surface vehicles like cars, trucks, boats, buggies and more!

There are two main types of RC transmitters for sale at Frontline Hobbies — stick transmitters and pistol grip transmitters. 

• Stick transmitters — Typically used for aircraft and sailing where the user needs to control 4+ inputs at the same time. These are the older style radios, that many enthusiasts prefer. Brands such as Spektrum are designing programmable radios that can be used to operate RC Planes and Jets.
   
• Pistol grip transmitters — Just like the name implies, these transmitters are shaped like a pistol with a trigger that controls the throttle and a mounted wheel for steering. 

So, which one is right for you? Stick RC transmitters give you more directional control and are often more comfortable to use, but they’re also more expensive. Meanwhile, pistol grip RC transmitters are easier for newcomers to use. Either way, there’s no wrong answer — choose whichever transmitter feels best to you! Feeling unsure?
