i am gonna buy this remote as well, they have new remote for singer and dual drives , but they dont mention if it comes with a receiver or only the remote, their communication isn’t that great either, do you think they send it with the receiver or just the controller https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Electric-skateboard-refitting-parts-remote-control-bench-technology/1967440_32731985084.html?spm=2114.8147860.0.0.3wSLiF
They are not selling them as a bundle at the moment otherwise you could select receiver+remote
Those options are actually pretty new, it used to say “remote” or “remote and receiver”. Not sure why they have those “color” options now. My guess is the more expensive one comes with a receiver, but honestly, no one knows since they literally just changed the options on aliexpress. Best bet is to contact [email protected]
well they just changed them today i was checking since yesterday cuz the remote is all i need now to ride my board, the other options are either for single drive , or dual drive , or penny board if you put the mouse over the option you will see what it is
Ah I see. I’m still not sure why they have the two right options. It just looks like the same remote with different labeling.
yeah i guess they are all the same with different settings i guess, i just dont know why they have the remote with the receiver in there, it doesn’t make sense to sell a remote without a receiver , i wann place the order but i am not sure if i should or wait
Remote’s are more likely to get damaged or lost, so I see why they sell the remote stand alone, but yea I bought out the rest of the remote+receivers a couple days ago and they haven’t restocked yet.
maaan why didn’t you leave any for us lol i am stuck here with no remote , i got a wii nunchuck but it turned out to be the one that doesn’t work , i have to wait another month now for a controller , do you think this remote is better than the nunchuck? i am thinking of getting the right nunchuck
if you want a great remote, that fits the hand great, has great response and plenty of travel on the trigger…

Haha sorry, gotta make sure my builds have remotes for them. For thumb remotes, this would be the only remote I recommend. It’s comfortable, has great throttle range, doesn’t have connectivity issues, has 1+ week battery life, and, as an extra, has two acceleration/speed modes.
I don’t recommend the winning remote at all since it caused me a few nasty scrapes, and while the nano-x is more reliable, it’s just not very comfortable and the throttle range is very lacking.
yeah i know the GT2b is a reliable controller but it just so big and bulky and not practical for me
yeah i did read about the winning and nano remotes, that’s why i really wanna get this one, i guess it is the best choice so far, i am wondering if you could do me a favour and sell me one of them now if you have many and you order it when they are back in stock again , i just can’t wait to get this thing rolling lol
Let me know in a couple weeks if you still need one. I just ordered them and they take a while to get here.
Oh ok thanks mate, this guy in amazon has them do you think its the same ones ? https://www.amazon.com/controller-receiver-benchwheel-electric-skateboard/dp/B01M9AGD65/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1479142368&sr=8-7&keywords=benchwheel
I second the Benchwheel. Been using one for a few weeks and it’s pretty rock solid. My favorite remote so far besides my EGO’s, but it’s a very close second.

Yea, bench technologies is the only company that makes them so you should be okay. Just make sure not to buy the remote for the actual Benchwheel board as I don’t think there’s any way to make it work with a DIY board.
yeah i know , this one is a remote with a received so i guess its the same one , the pictures are the same as well so i am safe i guess , should i go ahead ?
My benchwheel remote & receiver is on the way, yeah! Today I had again dropouts with my winning remote at the known place. Btw. it’s possible to pay with paypal at aliexpress but the seller charges 5% for that. I don’t have creditcard so I did via paypal.
