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)

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.

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.

there is a HOT RC youtube channel by manufacturer which has like 20+ very detailed videos how to setup and use this. Search for HOT RC DS 600. Also this model is latest one, so called "Jan 2023", it does not use jumper for pairing but small push button on receiver to initiate pairing. Great unit, has ton of setting and configurations. Has normal (like car) and differential (like tank) drive modes, can be used easily by cars and boards. you can make like 10 different settings. The only option which this unit does not support is a "one way esc", it works with bidirectional esc only. Cruise control option is super. I actually use it to control my kayak with thrusted mounted. It can also be added to trolling motor with additional PWM ESC to to fine speed control.

Works really great and I love all of the functions. And it has a suprisingly strong signal and long range. Would recommend for the price!

This thing is preety great for the price and exactly what i was looking for, nice and light. two issues are the battery life and the joystick sensitivity, it seems to have a big dead spot turing in one direction and my brother has the exact remote and his does the same thing as well.

difficult to see charge light.

Went through 2 sets. Both recievers will not power up. Supplying with 5-8 volts dc as stated.... nothing. Transmitter seems ok

The transmitter feels solid, but light enough to hold one hand with no problems. It comes with some accessories, including wrist straps and the USB cable. Controller has a built-in battery charged by a USB type C makes it convenient than finding replacement batteries. The transmitter and the receiver pairing was straightforward and immediate and works great with servos and DC motor speed controllers.

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

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.

I wasn't sure if this would be compatible with my controller but I was amazed how easy it was to set up.
