I was using Spektrum as well, but not really digging them all that much. I had a friend recommend I try a KO Propo, so I bought the EX-5UR:

And OMG, HUGE difference in speed and performance. Granted, I was upgrading from a DX3S, but man, just to get use to the KO, I had to dial it back at first and slowly adjust to its speed. At around $190 w/two receivers, it was a better deal than upgrading to the DX3R anyway.

I have since bought the EX-10 and keep the 5 for home use and backup, although it does make it to the track sometimes.

I am slowly selling off all my old Spektrum stuff to local drivers that insist it is the best. Go with what you like I guess, but I would check out a KO before making a major radio purchase.

As much as the radio was priority, it is no longer heading the list. I bent the chassis brace back into postion. We had a BBQ after work today (friday) and after a few I decided to show off the brute power and speed of brushless to the boys (again).

I did a few wheelies then showed them how well it could jump over a certain pile of dirt. I knew it had a weaken point but I couldn't help myself. After 4 or 5 jumps it all came to

I use a Spektrum and love it.

Help me understand why you are having problems ?

I used a 27mhz airtronics on my high powered 6s custom RC and after a few runs I could not use the radio any more so I modified my DX6i and it's awesome !

Here is what I use on my crawlers, Shortcourse and 1/5 on road AWD.

If I knew why I was having problems I might be able to do something about it. The dx3.0 I have has never had much range. I just 'grin and bear it' but not for much longer. The bent chassis brace was *cough* the radio's fault and the broken chassis was all my fault. I did fit a new antena wire to the reciever like BG said. I even made it longer but it didn't make any difference. I think it is in the tx. The antena wire in the tx looks good so I really don't know why it has lesser range.
