Radio for brushless vehicles

[glassdoctor]

I recomend checking out the new 2.4ghz radios from Futaba and Airtronics... similar to the Spektrum and Nomadio DSM radios. Pretty loaded but not as pricey as buying the top of the line + DSM to go with it.

I'll second that...

All the radios that have been mentionend here have every function you'll ever need. And a few you'll never use. I've owned a 3PK, MX-3S, M8, DX3, Hitec CRX and EX-10 Helios. I like the EX-10 a lot better than any of the others. It's not about functions and screensize, but the way it feels when you use it and how accurate it feels. The Spektrum and Nomadio radios (yes, I've tested but not owned a Nomadio) are together with the MX-3S radios I'd never buy again. Spektrum and Nomadio put all their money in technology that you can easily add to the EX-10. The wheel feels less accurate and the grip isn't very good at all. Nomadio React has the same case as an old Multiplex radio. I also prefer to have a radio with a module system because I also need 27mhz for mini-z racing.

The best radios in the market (3PK, M11 and EX-10) will always be better than cheaper Futaba, Hitec, Airtroinics/Sanwa, Spektrum and even the Nomadio.

So if i can get a 3pk for the same price as a dx3, i should get the 3pk; it will be a better decision in the long run, correct. I agree that the "cheaper" radios do feel cheaper, but one thing i noticed about the dx3 is that the throttle travel and steering travel are less precise feeling than even my OLD futaba magnum.
