its lookin like a 3pm-x will work fine. Will it do speed control mixing? I think the video said yes.

If he is running duals there is no point in getting a 3PMx.

Get the 4PL so you can use your crawlers fullest capabilities.

No! 3pmx will NOT do what you need. 4PL or 4PK only.

Josh,
Lots of good info in here. You've saved hours of programming for us. Just bought a 6EX not too long ago, looks like I'm getting a 4PL now.

They will get it tomorrow.

Neal already has the template for the 4PK case so all you need to do is let him know what you want. He also used my 4PL to make a template so if you need a skin for that too then you know what to do

Glad I can help DJ. Just let me know if there are any questions you have on possible setups.

Ok guys,
My radio was delivered today:

Your item was delivered at 9:16 am on December 20, 2010 in CHAMPAIGN, IL 61826.





On pins and needles now!! LOL Cant believe they have not sent my radio back yet!!


Sent Neil a PM last night about the skins hopefully has some cool designs for the radio.
Oh and BTW my DX3r fits the case nicely too without cutting away any foam. Might just have to pick up a second case for my '3r.

Jason said a couple day turn around. So about 3-4 days shipping each way if you paid for good shipping to them plus the two days there you are looking at about 8-10 shipping days.

that's pretty much what I am doing by posting the progress of my radio, so everyone can see what the time line might look like.
