For $99 its a steal and you know it. For people like me its perfect. I've been wanting a dig for my rig along time, but the price of a 3 channel radio was stopping that, but not anymore. The game just changed! Wow, and to top it off its a Spektrum.

Default Why title everything?

I wonder where the 3rd channel switch is. Sorta looks like the dial in front of the wheel. Most people have more than one vehicle, one model memory kinda sucks if you ask me.

I know it? I know I only paid $125 for my Spektrum DX3, so how is it a steal?

Here is one here http://cgi.ebay.com/NIB-SPEKTRUM-DX3...item3ef96c10cb

Another - http://cgi.ebay.com/Spektrum-DX3-Rad...item4ceb9c4c36

They could have at least put 2 or 3 model memory as most people have more than 1 truck.

If you got something against me, you need to let me know, because, I really don't like the way you are approaching me on this one. By the way if I'm doing the typing, Slowrockr why do you give a $h!t about me putting a title to all my post. I'm going to try to keep this nice, so back the hell off. Thanks.

Why can't the infromation be posted into other sections. Whats your problem. I see tons of repeats on this forum, and other guys just don't comment to them if they have already seen the info somewhere else.:?

You guys really kill me with your comments when you really don't even know what your talking about. Lets clear things up, first I didn't start this thread up 6 times, second I posted in the sections where I comp with my buddies in Cali. I never seen so many haters in my life. When I do post I'm always respectful. There are times when we all joke with each other, but thats nothing serious. This is a fun forum, but some of you get really bold with your words over the computer. Thats the problem. Hey guys I'm about to finish this post, I'm sure you guys will be following me to the next thread, so try your best to keep up.

obviously this radio isnt intended to be used by people that have multiple cars or trucks. those that do will buy a more expensive radio anyways.

That's a good point. This isn't supposed to be the newest high-end, last radio you'll ever buy. It's an affordable radio for beginners or those who may only have a single vehicle, but still want features such as DSM technology and a third channel.
