Kronic is running a DX5e with an Orange RX, thats in one of the top heavyweights in the country! :)
Will probably get an upgrade soon though.
It all depends on what you need your TX to do in terms of functions etc. I would go for a DX6i, they're really cheap at the moment as they've been replaced with the new DX6. Every function you're going to need for a robot.
The combo of a Dx6i and an Orange R620 works perfectly fine for any weight class, and as for failsafing, a lot of folks don't know how to make them failsafe (not just beginners, I've had to show people who've done it for years), but there is a reliable method.
The OrangeRx receiver has proven itself on many rc disciplines with very few errors. I would not hesitate to recommend one in a heavyweight or any other robot.
I'm running dx6i with an orange rx, no problems.
Ok no worries, will try and find a good price on a dx6i and an orange :)
