When Tactic released the TTX650 a couple years ago it quickly became a hit among people looking for a computerized radio with plenty of features but not a huge price tag. Fast forward to today and they just expanded their offerings with an 8 channel version with even more features but still keeping an attractive price point.
The TTX850 is not just a radio for beginners. With a wide range of Tactic receivers available, 30 model memory, 6 programmable mixes and function options preset for Airplane, Helicopter as well as multi-rotor aircraft this radio can handle just about any aircraft you can dream up. The easy to use push buttons and intuitive menu system round out the TTX850 as a no hassle radio system.
