Radio for brushless vehicles

[squeeforever]

Thats one thing I love about my M8. Its very precise, throttle and steering.

The only thing I don't like about buying the 3pk is that it is a discontinued model (which is why I can get it kinda cheap), but the new model(3PKS) does not have any upgrades that I find worth the extra cost to me. I have come to realize that the way a transmitter feels in your hand and being comfortable with it is more important than smaller functions, since it is your hands that are doing the driving, not the controller.

I wouldn't worry about the fact that the 3PK is discontinued. I assume that the warranty is still the same. There's one very very important thing you have to remember if you buy the 3PK/3PKS - don't buy the first version of the Spektrum system for it. Get the Spektrum Pro version or Futabas Fasst system. They had a lot of problems with the first generation of Spektrum modules for the 3PK/3PKS.

The "old" 3PK is still an excellent radio. The top drivers where I live use it, and they could easily afford to buy the 3PKS if they wanted to.

Squee still uses his M8, also an excellent but discontinued radio. Don't worry - the 3PK is an excellent choice.

I ended up buying the 3PK, and I am way more impressed with the throttle and steering "feel" than that of the DX3. The Futaba FASST system is just their version of 2.4ghz, correct?

Fasst and Spektrum are basically the same thing. 2.4ghz but there might be differences in latency. Check out www.spektrumrc.com and www.futaba-rc.com.

Enjoy your new radio :)
