Perfect for what I need, Documentation sux but is easy to figure out.
The media could not be loaded. 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.

CONTROLLER THAT WORKS GREAT AND STILL FITS IN YOUR POCKET!!!
The system worked incredibly well for my robotic arm project! I can control the full range of motion, and it features a button that is only active while held down, which is perfect for grabbing objects.Signal PerformanceThe signal operates at an impressive range—I'm estimating around 200 feet—without any noticeable cutouts.Cost-EffectivenessConsidering the price, it's a fantastic value, especially since I can bind two receivers. This setup allows me to control lights in the direction I'm moving, with the second receiver connected to LEDs that correspond to that direction. Overall, it has been a great addition to my project!UPDATE!!! controller dies after 8 minutes even after full charge

Solid build quality and easy to use
The media could not be loaded. 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.

Good product with setup issues
A good compact RC, simple to use but difficult to configure, from time to time one of the channels can't be configure.

A slick (6) Channel one-handed vehicle piloting via standard RC PWM signals device!
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.

Dead receivers
Both receivers are dead. They don’t power up.The transmitter powers up well and the display seems to work. Without the receivers I’m stuck.YouTube videos are useless.It has to be the worse purchase I have done in Amazon. I can’t return the purchase becauseI’m out of town.

5/5 would recommend
I bought this controller for my kayak project. I use it to control my trolling motor, and with one hand I can do steering and speed. It is great for fishing, as it allows me to make quick adjustments without having to set my rod down. It has plenty of range, and the rechargeable battery in the remote makes it to where I never have to worry about the battery dying while I'm on the water. I can just plug it in to my battery bank on my kayak. It is small, light weight, durable, and the ease of use is amazing. It is a great, inexpensive way to get into building your own rc projects.

one of the best units out there
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.
