personally id suggest the Nomadio React. 270.00 from DDM with free shipping. you can get 5% off if you use promo code HBF or LSF. VERY capible radio, but it does need to be setup via your computer prior to use. can also double as a pc controller for Virt RC, Need for Speed series cpu game, or any other driveing game that allow the option of a joystick addition. 4 chnnls, all telemetery built in (just need to buy the inexpensive 25.00 sensors of choice) onboard LED readout of TX and RX volt *(with optional battery sensor). the Radio has EVERYTHING on it, can run Digi and analog servos together with NO ISSUES. all 4 channels are LOADED with tuning options like EPAs, EXPOs Servo Speed setting, Trim/subTrim, ect..... more than the average bear could ever use. |

Hey Zach Buy the DX3R if you want 3 position on the dig. If all you care about is locked and 4WD then go with a DX 3.0. I would highly recommend going with 2.4 Ghz whichever way you decide |

If you are running a 3 position dig setup, I recommend the Nomadio React. I love the DX3r because of the big screen, tiny RXs, easy programming and AA batteries but in the end I got really aggravated that my dig couldn't go right from dig-lock to 4wd without pausing in dig-free while I hit the switch again. the other option was I had to hit a second button simultaneously and that was awkward. It cost me points in comps so I went to the React. Now my 3rd channel is still 3 position but one button can take it right from 4x4 to dig lock and back (goes 2 steps). Another botton can select each position by taking 1 step at a time still in the 3rd channel. |
