thanks didnt know thought they were huge nip covers:lmao:

I plan on buying one here in a couple weeks. Did you get it from Horizon?

na my lhs here in jersey had it

Woah....I guess I shouldnt be shocked considering your screenname. Are you a carnie?

na worse im from new jersey lol. n i love being outside i was gona go with the name nature freak but it sounded to tree huger and ghey

Agreed. Good choice. "thumbsup" :ror:

i guess they ment the dots for the onroad and drifter guys cuz u cant build a rock course or even a sc course with 2 markers

Yeah.....take the dots out to the parking lot.....throw one down on the ground......throw the other down 100 yards away....then race around them.

eh i think ill let my kids use them as a Frisbee "thumbsup"

What do you think about the radio now that you've had it a few days? I'm gonna order one Friday.

He's been happy (he is at work so I'll chime in.....) with it. Easier than his older model to set up & it does more.
As a bonus, he can reuse all his RX's!!"thumbsup""thumbsup"

I love this radio. Very budget friendly, and has all the basic needs of any crawler.

EPA's, sub-trim, 3 pos 3rd, 20 model memory, etc. Plus it only requires 4 AA's to power it.

thanks charlie.

i had my all my rigs set to the new radio with in 5 min each. the menu is so much easier to navigate than my old original dx3. im so glad the wife let me get it as a early fathers day gift"thumbsup" and so well worth the 129 i paid for it

Not sure exactly what Spektrum had in mind for them, but if you want something to use the black discs for that's actually useful, put them concave side up under the front tires of your crawler while you set up the steering end points.
The wheels won't drag on the floor so you can see exactly how far the steering servo is moving and you don't have to try to hold the crawler in one hand and adjust the radio with the other.
