You have seen many of our machines but we rarely talk about what radio gear and FPV gear we recommend to people who are just starting out. I think by now everyone already knows that if you want the best gear you would pick the FrSky Taranis and the FatShark Dominator Goggles. The biggest problem with that is the set up costs more then the quad package itself. Now that this hobby has grown there has been a lot of competition and innovation that has been driving the entry level gear prices down and quality up. Now you no longer have to spend over $600 on the ground station side to get started. It is no secret that there was always cheaper alternatives out there but the quality has never been up to RushMore Mods standards, until now. Now, We are happy to recommend a package that only cost around $150 for the Radio Transmitter and FPV Goggles. Lets start with the Radio Transmitter side first.
