I learned the hard way after buying multiple radios - "if I get this I won't need anything else" - there will be a need for something else that needs that extra channel.

Right now I am getting into rock crawling and I am getting a 7 channel radio for it (the radio can be carried over to flying if I ever decide to go that route).

What would be great is if the radio makers stepped up and made a 6+ channel pistol radio...

I think if they are going to do 4 they might as well do 5 or 6.

They have the means, I think they just need the demand.

I would buy a spektrum 5 or 6 channel pistol grip in a heart beat.

I concur, I've been patiently waiting for this to happen.

If they are going to bother, it should be 5 channels +. Then they would have something. But I think A 6PK would be better.

Yuck can't stand those things.

The 4pk reminds me of a 1980's super computer.

I liked my dx3r, but needed the 4th channel for my super. Its the mixing that puts the futaba ahead. I have heard there are other companies working on radios. I would say the least should be 5 channels, but 6 would be even better. With all the mixing options of a 4pk, and it could run droid like my HTC Evo with a touch screen, and built in wifi so it could be programed with a laptop. That would be the ultimate radio.

its a shame... i would love my dx3r to be a dx4r.

tried a 4pk, sweet radio but it lacks the one thing i want which is momentary buttons. gradually converting over to flysky...

Yes. If it would do the proper mixing for dual ESC's.

The comfort of the DX3R is unmatched.
