Default Looking for good radio

I am looking for a good 4-6 channel radio for use on a crawler with 4ws. Want extra channels for lights,winch...what-ever. I understand that 72 MHz is only for airplanes but it seems that all 6ch that I have seen are 72 MHz and not 75MHz. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Also need to get servos, want it to be high torque, waterproof...?
Thanks

your best bet for a radio is to get a Spectrum DX6

Xs 2 The spectrum dx6I is awesome. I use mine on 3 crawlers ,a mini T, a airplane. Helicopter is next. And you can hook it up to your computer for use with flight simulators also.

Is that considered a surface use radio? I know Air uses 72 MHz and surface is to use 75 MHz, can 2.4GHz be used legally for either?

What about the DX5e by Spektrum? Only $99.00.

The only issue with the DX5e is it has no endpoint adjustments for your servos. That can be big issues if you are looking to run high $$ servos. Greater chance to fry them. Just a thought.
