So I decided to upgrade from my Futaba 2pl and 3pm radios. So I bought a M8 specal edition, and a M11. Both have the cool backlighted screens. Paid less than $300 for both, and I got some receivers and bags and crystals, and the lipo for the M11. Great deal that I could not pass up!
Modded the M8 to have the spektrum antenna in the stock antenna location, and not out the side of the module. Looks alot cleaner. I will use this radio with my electric 10th scale vehicles, and possibly with the boats.
The M11 is mainly stock, save for the upgrade skin. I am going to use it for my crawlers, and the nitro conversions. It do quite a bit of channel mixing, and has a ton of adjustability. Great radio, and easy to use too.
Both radios have lipo batteries, the M11 has a common sense 2800mah 3s lipo, and the M8 has a home made 2500 3s lipo.
