I got the DX3R setup and fortunatly it wasn't as an extensive upgrade to switch as Duster would be looking at. I still have one more receiver I need to get. Usually 50-60 range on ebay for the sr3000. THe SR3100 run closer to the 100 mark. I the system works great no range issues and has enough model memory and bells and whistles for everything. I miss the flexibility of my old set up though and really had no problems with it. The DX3R just looked cool and was an impulse item walking out the door at the LHS. I use to run the Futabal 3pm FSpro and also had the JR XS3 and XS3 Pro. I ran all of the RC on the Novak XXtra's so swithcing between the futaba and JR was just a twist of the screwdriver. I liked both of theose setup. THe futaba had a couple extra bells but I ended up liking the feel of the JR better. They were flexible enough I could run three (me and couple friends) RC with out changing anything. I need a at least 2 DX2 to do that and then I can't use them with the new DS receiver. Man sound like I'm complaining. I did have a couple of issues with some interference but not sure it it was the receiver or what but don't get it in the same spots as I did before using the 2.4ghz.
The best is probably a personel preference. How does it feel in your hand make a big different. THe DX3R is cool looking is light and comfortabel. But a big disappointment for me is the steering wheel is farther from the grip then my old controllers. Got pretty good at steering with the thumb and holding a camarea or beverage in the other.
Anybody know where I can get a thumb extension?
I did have a problem with the dx3r LCD in temps below freezing. Lost the LCD completely but it came back about the same time as the feeling in my finger tips did.
