4x4 slash or crt .5?

I have been kinda curious about the traxxas radio myself. From what I understand you don't have to tune it everytime, just turn it on and the truck on and it recognizes all the settings for that receiver, up to 20, as for endpoints, channel reversing, whatnot. For the trims, I don't really know how they work from model to model. If they are just a knob with no endpoints so the trim still changes with every vehicle, or the trim of the radio stays the same and you would have to adjust it to every vehicle, surely its not like that. It does seem like a nice radio, the lack of the screen does really suck. I am probably going to pick one up and at least put all the traxxas vehicles I have on it, to free up some room on the dx3s. On another note, I know you said you wouldn't have the crt without some sort of extended chassis, and 2.2's but to me that really defeats the purpose of the .5, I think the coolness is in its unique size. The one in my pic has the ofna extended chassis on it, and is still that small in comparison. What about a thunder tiger sparrowhawk? They are pretty much a standard 1/10 4wd truck style. Havn't heard much about them, or even seen one in person, but if they are durable seems like a pretty neat truck.
