I could not tell the difference in some of the features after we had changed them up. I can't justfy the money to buy that nice of a radio if I am not going to use all the features it has. I am not a pro by any means (not even novice). Just my 2 cents but buy the radio that best fits your style and features you like then put the extra cash into your RC.

I completely agree. It's really not worth spending the extra money if you don't need to.

3PK is just another level and you cannot compare it to 3PM or DX3R and competes with M11.
DX3R is more of a classy radio with some nice features (left handed for those who need it, great display, simple operation - no extra system menyu to switch profiles or change profile settings, profile names, just 4 cells, more responsive than 3pm,

The best value radio right now is 3PM Fasst but I think those extra features on DX3R are worth the extra $120
and i sold my 3pm for $280 so DX3R cost me just $30 :) - futaba is so overpriced in europe

I know a 3PK isnt in the same range

But you could buy a used 3PK Super, or even the normal 3PK for the same price as a DX3R, or on ebay, you can get a 3PK S with FASST for 360

I know thats not much more money then a 3R

As far as features, I said im a pretty hardcore racer, so thats why I say what I do....... But if your going to get a 3R, its isnt much more money to get tip top of the line

The 3R's extra features arent worth an extra 120 bucks IMHO, (key point)

There ALL miles ahead of crystal's and all that stuff, so go with what you can afford, and what feels good in your hand

Mainly I'm looking for a decent radio to replace my TRX in my new Brushless E-Maxx. I have poor range and glitching. Price is always an issue of course so I'm looking to spend wisely on a lower priced new or good used. I'm really open to all options on a budet under $150 maybe?

I'd drop a little more and get a DX3.0 if it were me. You can pick it up from ultimatehobbies.com for $209.95 shipped and it comes with 2 SR3000 Rx's.

I bought a cheapie one, the Airtronics MX-3FHSS 3-Channel 2.4ghz. Got it for 150 brandnew at my LHS.

[notnodak]

As an alternative, whats a good fm radio for under a hundred?

[skellyo]

A used Airtronics MX-3 is always a good bet.

Is this a good radio for the price and can I slave my second steering servo to the third channel?

I have been thinking about getting that radio, how do you like it?

[snellemin]

The radio is great. Responds is smooth and fast. Makes my high speed driving more controllable.
