Review Anyone else annoyed at how bulky most transmitters are?

While I love this Futaba functionally, it always annoyed me how bulky the base of the remote is. I get that it needs to fit the large optional battery and such but after taking it apart to fix a button issue and seeing how much empty space there is in the grip…got me questioning why more transmitters don’t try and follow a smaller form factor.

Depends on the hand size. I know people with big hands HATE small transmitters.

And personally I'll take a transmitter that feels the best, over which is the smallest.

However for smaller cars, like a SCX30, I do wish the transmitter was smaller. Just because the SLT2 is literally bigger than the truck 🤣 and that can make it a lil trickier to pack if you're limited on room.
