for cheap independant 3 channel there is no better option than the tq3, why don't you want that. $65.00 to good of a deal?

the TQ3 is the low-buck king for rear steer. A small microswitch and you're set.

Other than that, any radio that ends with a "3" should work.

The Futaba Skysport4 (2-stick, 4 channel) will also work, is FM (and on ground freqs), and gives you a 4th channel for, say....a winch.

I seriously can hardly understand your post. Remember: http://www.m-w.com/

You can get a TQ3 for dirt cheap, open your eyes, look on ebay. Come awn. As for how to set it up... If you can't figure that out, I am going to go over to your house and beat you with a stick. Twice. Honestly, its really straight forward

Or support those fellow RCCrawlers here on the board. You can buy that radio above, and the kit from the crawler store to mod it. Or you can buy one that is already modded for, like I said above $65.

And here's the link for that...

That is waaaay to easy for him. He already said that he does not want the best value/quality for his money.

Just any 3 channel may not work the way you want.the 3rd channel needs a 3 way switch and it's best to have end point adjustments on the 3rd channel.all radios don't have this.if it doesn't have the end point adjustment may as well use the tq3 with the modded switch on it.as a note,you can do that mod to any 3ch radio that only has a 2 way switch.i use a jr xr3 and it works good

Bigred, sorry you were having problems with thecrawlerstore.com i'm not sure why there were any difficulties ordering. Those radios are in stock. Did you have a problem with getting a response to email? Did buy it now and paypal have an error? I'm just trying to find out if there is a problem somewhere so i can resolve it before someone else has this issue. Sorry for any inconvenience. You can PM me back about this issue.
