DX3R Radio
 

I just got the DX3R radio and I got it all set up and started plugging things in, and I noticed when I got three of of the pluggs plugged into the reciever it seemed cramped, the fourth plug won't really even fit in there. I'm sure it would fit but I feel like something is gonna break if I just press it in there really hard. Its like there is not enough space between the plugs, they are to close together. Has anyone else expirenced this or have any advice?

I managed to get 4 in my spektrum receiver. Plug in the outer plugs first, then insert the middle 2 plugs last. If you are using different brand plugs, it can make it tougher. I had to change one of mine to a JR plug from an old novak or tekin esc (when they used to give you all the different plugs).

I had these problems even with my old 3PM 2.4Ghz radio. some plugs are just bit bigger

Ok thanks. I'll see what I can do.

and BTW - spektrum is giving out free receivers - http://www.spektrumrc.com/giveaway/

I wish i got my radio after 15th of february and not as soon as it was released :)

Wow, I just got my radio this weekend, does that mean I can go buy another reciever and then get one free? That would be great!!!

Damn! I bought my DX3R on Jan 20th. Now i wish i had waited.

wow thats a pretty good deal. I was thinking of replacing my jr z1 with the dx3r and this might just do it. now I will just have to see if I can come up with enough cash for a radio and an extra receiver.

whats the average price for the DX3R's??

anyone know who gives the lowest prices?

$269 with free shipping. Thats the best Ive found and where I got mine. There may be better. I haven't searched that hard.

hmm... doesn't look like they ship international. Might just go impakt rc for $275, plus what type of shipping i choose

as jhautz listed ultimate hobbies is the cheapest I have found. I am actually just trying to make up my mind now on if I should buy it or not. I would like to see how it feels but lhs doesn't have any.

I really like it. Fits my hand great and very light and easy to use. I dumped my M11 in favor of it. Not quite as many features as the M11 I replaced, but they were all the options I never used or didnt really know how to use.

The DX3R is much more "intuitive" than many of the other high end radios I have seen.

One the downside.... I dont feel like the fit and finish of the DX3R isnt quite up to the standards of the M11 or 3PK IMO. Dont get me wrong... Its not bad at all. Just a little short of the mark set by the others IMO.

thats the one complaint I hear about it. I have a jr-z1 now and like the feel with the drop down wheel but this radio has caught my eye. Just wish I could hold one and see if its comfortable for me before spending for $$$

well, I ended up ordering it anyways. figured with the receiver deal they are doing it would be the best time to try it.

If I dont like the feel of it then I guess I will just keep the z1.
