few questions on a spektrum dx3s
 

a friend got one of these. nice radio.. pretty expensive. i would like a 3 channel radio. that i can use for 4 or 5 cars. not looking to spend that kinda money. sure it a great radio.

what other options do i have? thanks

with the dx3s's 2 position 3rd channel, it fails in a lot of crawler applications (digs, winches, etc...) the dx3r has a 3 pos 3rd channel, as do the dx3e and dx3c. for the money right now on a spektrum radio, i'd be looking into the dx3c more than anything else.

I was in the market for a good radio and went w/ the dx3c, so far I am very pleased...

Futaba 3PM-x may fit your needs. For a little more, a Futaba 4PL is great.

If you already have Spectrum RX's, then stick to them.

any other radios to look at. any of the ones on hobby partz any good thanks

Yeah it's a great radio and now fully hackable, and it does have 10 model memory. losikid has started selling hacking kits. Check out this thread:
