I did the same thing. Ordered it but didnt get rid of my old radio right away. I figured if I didnt like it I could always toss it up on ebay and get most of the money back. The 265 w/ free shipping from Ultimate is chaper than they are selling for on ebay by around $30.

I think you will like it. The menus are great and really easy to use.

I hope I like it too. I did get to finally hold one at a new track that opened up. It is very light, made my z1 with lipo feel like an m8. Didn't get to try out the menu's though. The one thing I think I will miss is the drop down wheel.

if anyone is still looking for these. tiltedrc has a special today. $249

http://www.tiltedrc.com/index.php

Tiltedrc is out of stock on them. However, they can be found in stock at http://www.carolinasrc.com/webstore/...idproduct=7302 and with the use of coupon code MAPR825, the total would be $254.99 shipped. I'm not sure I've ever seen a better out the door price on that radio.

you are correct. guess I didn't notice the quantity left when I posted. anyways the one you posted is also a great price. I paid 270 2 weeks ago and that was the cheapest I was able to find at the time.

man everywhere I look for this radio it is $320.. Does the free reciever program work from any vendor I thought I read it had to be fro Horizon or something maybe I read it wrong..

Only licenced dealers I believe

yes licensed dealers listed on horizon website

I have not used the dx3r but im sure it is a decent radio. I currently have a Nomadio React and that is the best radio i have ever had. The telemetry is awesome for temps and voltage of lipos.

Does the DX3R have the same telemetry options as the Nomadio, ie. motor temps, speed and battery voltage? I've read the DX3R description on the spektrum site a few times but haven't really got an answer. I see you can get all the 'trim' and 'travel' and 'reverse' and 'exponential' displays which make no sense to me at all :lol: but my main want is the speed and the voltage data. Can anyone who has one chime in :whistle:

I think... not a 100% but they offer another lcd screen that plugs in that will report back the temps, speed, volts..

They also make one for nitro

I dunno if it works for the dx3r.. I would assume

Research the attachment LCD screen a little bit more.

I'm pretty sure I have come across some posts where they say that additional telemetry specktrum screen only works with the DX2, and DX3, but NOT the DX3R.

I think it is cause it clips on to the anettenna of the older radios, but cant clip on the new DX3R radio. But I dont know if that is the only issue. I think an e-mail to specktrum would be good for this.

I'm not positive about this, but research it alot before you buy it and think that it will work.

I was in the same boat after I read that part..

wow, it took me this long to notice that there were a few more posts after lucias's first one :lol:

i just sent Spektrum an email regarding my question, ill give you guys an update when i get a reply :yes:

thanks for your help

on one of my radios, I was using the telemetry and I just glued a small rubber "hose" on the back and slid that over my antenna. it sat right where I needed it to be. I almso shoe good some foam rubber to the side one attempt to get it angled and it was glued to the foam. shoe goo has to be the best invention known to man LOL
