radios

[Chappy4o]

so im looking to get a new crawler, but cant decide on a radio/reciever. i was thinking the dx3e but i kinda would like a 4 channel so i can run dig and remote diff lock. if i had my choice i think i would go futaba 4pk but i dont have 500 to spend on a radio. i was also considering the traxxas tq or tq3

what do you guys think of those radios. remember im on a tight tight tight budget and would like to keep cost of radios around 100 as i can always upgrade later when the need and money allows

so for a new guy just gettin into the crawlin game what would you recommend?

thanks

Don't bother with the remote diff lock. Once you have a dig you won't need it. I swapped axles with my scx10 so I have diff locks on the scaler and fully locked diffs on my creeper with a dig. Just look for something with a 3 position switch for the 3rd channel if you want full dig functionality. Otherwise a 2 position will work for locked or normal rear. That's how I use it. The cheapest route would be to get a traxxas tq3 and mod it if you are good with electronics.

yeah, im not really that great with electronics, which radios have a 3 pos switch? does the dx3e have it?
