Alright Ladies and Gentlemen!
Here is the official Group Buy on those super sexy Hoyt remotes.
I got one of these right away when they first came out as I haven’t been satisfied with any of the common thumb controlled remotes on the market, and boy I am glad I did!
Right away you notice that this isn’t a generic rebranded product. It is made from CNC’d Bamboo and has a circular array of LED indicator lights. Everything feels great in the hand. The thumb wheel is a piece of aluminium instead of dinky plastic and has little to no slop and a good amount of throw for people on more powerful builds to better control speed.
The remote has 3 different speed modes. You need to do the PPM settings in the third (fastest) mode and the other modes will fall into place accordingly. Also a nice touch is that changing between modes gives a distinct vibration so that it is easier to tell what mode you are in while riding in louder city conditions (versus just some quiet beeps).
The remote is also easy to switch the throttle direction for any of you lefties out there.
As far as connectivity, it has been great. The range is insane and I have experienced 0 dropouts even in high traffic areas that have given most other remotes issues.
Some people have asked why this remote is so pricey, I honestly thought the same thing at first… until I used it.
I would say this is the first truly premium remote and I encourage you guys to give it a go.
CUSTOM ENGRAVING OPTION
As you can see on my remote, Hoyt engraved it with my avatar name, SENDER. This might not be a big deal to many, but i think it is awesome. There is no limit in characters (within reason) the font will just be smaller if you go for more.
Just imagine, nicknames, build names, personal mantras, or hell, maybe even the lyrics to your favorite Nickelback song.
I am going with my next build thread name, but that’s just me. Personalized engraving will be a $15 fee. Monies well spent.
So here is how this is going down unless something changes:
The price on these is $189 on the Hoyt site right now.
Here for the group buy, they are giving them to us for $149 shipped within the US.

BTW, I am not affiliated with Hoyt; they just have some awesome products and I wanted more people to be able to get in on this!
TL;DR: Too bad.
Hopefully they’ll ship fast haha
