Remote recommendations for VESC6.4

Hello,
I got this VESC 6 (http://www.trampaboards.com/vesc-6-complete--vedder-electronic-speed-controller-trampa-exclusive-p-24166.html)

and this remote control, the maytech one with the thumb push button: http://www.trampaboards.com/remote-control--receiver-p-24243.html

I am disappointed by how flimsy the remote feels and I can not get a good connection between the remote receiver and the VESC. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

It is so frustrating.

What sort of remote + receivers are people using with a vesc 6 that they are happy with.

Thank you
