Could the "c" in DX3c stand for crawler?

Maybe Spektrum is listening?

Although, I thought it was a little strange to see it said "ultimate entry-level computer radio".

Still, I dont know if it will mix 2 ESC's....

You only need 3 channels to get the job done. Its just that so far only a 4 channel radio offers the necessary programing.

True....but I serously doubt that a radio labeled as "introductory" will have decent mixing...

The programming is upgradeable with a SD card, so no sending the unit in to have it upgraded

It could work?

maybe once its released, Spektrum/Horizon will get with the program and come up with some downloadable software for the 3Rpro and this, that will allow dual ESC mixing.

that would rule.

That's pretty nice though, a good step up from the DX3E with only a small jump in price. I like it, although I'm curious as well about the mixing capabilities.

Nice I really like the Futaba 4pl but I dont need and prob. will never use all the features it has. This looks like a great radio for the price, as long as it has a 3pos 3rd channel... I think DX3E sales are gonna go down, unless they drop the price a bit. you get alot more with this for $30 more than a 3E...

That would be nice....radio looks ok (I prefer screen on back facing user tho) but where's the EPA???

From Horizon's site:

* Rolling Selector
* SR300 Receiver Included
* Adjustable Steering Wheel Tension
* Inactivity Warning
* Exponential
* Assignable Switches
* Programmable mixes
* Interchangeable Grips
* SD Card Slot
* Marine Compatible

Overview
The Spektrum DX3C is the ultimate entry-level computer radio. With features of most mid-level 3 channel surface radios, it features a totally new design case and upgraded easy to read; dotmatrix LCD display. Offering mixing, capable of 4 way steering or dual brake servos, and a 20 model memory. The DX3C will also include an SD card slot, which will allow for software updates, similar to the DX3R Pro. Targeting sport drivers who are looking for a computer radio that offers basic programming features they need, without paying for things that they don’t. The DX3C also includes the SR300 sport surface receiver.

It says:
Assignable Switches
Programmable mixes

Hopefully you can assign switches to adjust mixes. That is really all that is missing to be able to run Dual's.

You sure can Spektrum set the Dx3C up with dual ESC mixing in mind.

The fit/feel of the 3C is a lot better then you would think for a budget radio too.

Can you tell us if the step is adjustable to control mixing. Can you set it to be like a 5% or 10% step or whatever you want?
