Between the 3pmFASST and the DX3.0 which is a better radio?

wallot · 12:56 PM

futaba as it uses the second generation of spread spectrum with frequency hopping to reduce interference even lower. (only DX3R has this from spektrum)

also futaba has few more features than DX 3.0

Did you check their all new 4pk radio system?

smokyracing · 02.28.2008, 03:27 PM

if I made them I might think about it.

Get something with FASST!

Its way better then spektrum! IMO

on the other had DX3R is better than 3PM fasst.

several people have confirmed that the response is smoother

also on 3pm radio remembers failsafe setting only in HRS mode that does not work with most ESCs and also many servos

bud 3PM is $130 cheaper than DX3R. I really liked my 3PM till i switched to the new spektrum :)
also futaba recievers are quite big if you have any 1/18 scale cars with limited space

The DX3R sucks nads as far a features for the price

I have a 3PK Super with FASST, and I know the 2.4 in my radio is heaps better then the DX3R, only thing that I like about it is its super light.... Its not smoother, I have no doubt in my mind there.....

IDK features on the 3PM, so I cant comment on the fail safe...

there both good radios yes, but the 3R is overpriced for what it is.....

Mike_D · 02.28.2008, 07:52 PM

I vote the DX3R as that is what i have. I will admit the Spektrums are a little on the expensive side but well worth the money in my opinion. I have never been a Futaba fan myself, i just don't like the feel of them.

Is the nomadio an option?

02.28.2008, 07:58 PM

I do have to add

I am a racer, I dont have any bash cars.. All up racing, so that could be why I prefer what I do...

captain harlock · 02.28.2008, 08:25 PM

You guys are rotten french fries....;) lol!

I already posted a pic of the best radio that mankind has ever created for surface purposes and still talking about those inferior tx with old spectrum devices.

I say a 4pk and you are the winner....go for it, dude. Even if you have to save every single penny for this trans, you'll never be disappointed.

Al,

I could of ordered one, but I dont like it... Someone at my track is a futaba driver, and he as one, its nice and light, but other then looking weird and running on half the voltage, its the same radio, that is supposed to cost 500 bucks, and I paied 390 with my 3PK S with FASST

Its always nice to have a good radio but can you justify the price for it? I mean are you really going to notice the difference in the features? I use the DX2.0 Spektrums. They work great for me. One of my friends has the DX3.0. He asked me to come over and help him program it for his RC. There is a ton of features the DX3.0 has compared to my DX2.0. I was lost on some of them. I could not tell the difference in some of the features after we had changed them up. I can't justfy the money to buy that nice of a radio if I am not going to use all the features it has. I am not a pro by any means (not even novice). Just my 2 cents but buy the radio that best fits your style and features you like then put the extra cash into your RC.
