If you don't want a cheaply made Chinese budget radio that is fair enough, I don't either, but don't buy the same cheap radio at greater expense from a local company to help the economy, they will likely use much of the profit to expand their line buying more stock from China, instead but direct from china for $30 and give the other $20 to a homeless guy in your town, most likely he will spend it on food, drink or services all of which keep all the money in your own country, giving nothing to China which is better for the economy, I'm sure the homeless person in question would be happy about it, and you may get a warm feeling inside from doing a good deed, its a win win situation all round.

...who then takes that money and pays the workers and factory over in China to make the radio, pay the freight company in China to ship radios back to US, etc.

Anyway... with such expensive, high-end vehicles like many on these forums drive, there is absolutely no reason to use an AM radio. At the least you could screw up your vehicle and cost yourself a lot of money and repair time, at the worst your vehicle could take off and really hurt someone. Gotta go with the 2.4Ghz. I started off with a Losi 2.4Ghz system, and when I decided to upgrade my transmitter the Losi rx's are all still spektrum compatible.

Well maybe check into this one. Same thing plus $20.00 http://204.186.93.64/Radios-Servos.htm
Also they don't offer the separate $7.00 2.4ghz receivers Like Hk does.
