DX3R good for crawling

[maui454]

I searched and found some good advice but, I have a Nomadio React I like it but Nomadio is dead. Is the DX3R a good replacement? what are the best features of the Dx3r?

IMO

Yes, its a great radio.

Best features off the top of my head are:

Easy to use
Light weight
Only uses 4 AA's
3 position 3rd channel
3rd channel can be assigned to multiple switches
Spektrum
Small receivers

So if you already had a react would you go to a dx3r and feel good about it? I want to go spektrum because I know support will be there. I just want to make a good decision. What should I do ahhhhhhh I am confused

Nothing wrong with the DX3R. If you are going to buy a new radio I would go with the 4PK. I have a 3PK and a DX3R and I prefer the 3PK for crawling. Using two esc and it has crazy # of ways to control for dig,lead lag on esc front/rear. The 4pk is just that much better.

One-eyed Jack, can you elaborate on your use with the 3PK? I also use this radio and will be adding a second ESC to my rig and would like to hear your points/tips with using this radio. thanks fellas.

Sadly i must agree with you. Nomadio is dead. Ill put my Sensor in a nice box and bury it by the garden. Im thinking either a dx3r or a 4pk.

I went from a React to a DX3R.

if your gonna upgrade to a new radio, it really depends, if u got money to burn, burn it with the 4pk, 4 channels and no problems, if u dont need 4 channels, go with the DX3r, I have both.

the 3r is a great radio for RC racing and crawling. i use mine for both. i have also used a nomadio react and it is a good radio, personally i think the 3r is better and it has the support

The PK has two PMIX capabilities. I use pm1 for running the rear esc. Set the throttle as Master and 3rd channel as slave. Rear esc plugs into 3rd channel slot. Set epa at 100% forward + and 100% reverse -. Use PS-1,called SW1 on the menu and set to prog mix 1 and Alt. This switch is under your thumb and easy to turn off and on. This will give you front dig. Use DT3 for subt3 and set at 10-normal. This will allow you to set the rear esc in a lead or lag configuration and be adjustable on the fly. -30 usually gives a 50/50 ratio since the rear is normally under more load. Need more help PM me.
