Why does Spektrum make it hard to find out what receivers pair with their radios? I have an SLT2, and I can't find anywhere what non 2-N-1 receiver will pair with it. I want to use that radio with an HPI Blitz I'm building for a teenager to use, and, can't even figure out which 2-N-1 brushed or brushless ESC matches it, let alone what stand alone receiver matches it.
 
It's a SLT radio so any spektrum SLT protocol receiver will (should) work. Like the SLR300 (SLT) and SR315 (SLT and DSMR, on newer models/firmware)
I emailed Horizon about it, so now it's just a matter of waiting a week for a reply. I don't want to buy a bunch of different receivers and find out they won't work with it.

Yea I agree. Horizon isn't that good these days on that aspect. Haven't really used their radios before but I hate when they have a part and it's literally the same part but 5 different P/Ns. Super confusing. Or they discontinue one part and make a new one but it's the same part just different P/N.
 
I actually got a quick answer back from Horizon. It's compatible with the SLR300, SR315, SR215, SRX200, and, oddly, the Tactic TR325, but, Spektrum receivers are expensive. I can get a radio and receiver from Jenny's for less than the price of a Spektrum receiver.
