| dx3c good price?
i bought a spektrum dx3c today for $70 new. the guys at the lhs said they just had one, hadn't had it long, but didn't know much about it. hell i don't know much about it but it's a hell of a lot better than the rtr radio my wraith came with! now just gotta read the book and figure out what all these damn buttons are for! is $70 a good price for these radios? i've seen the 3e and 3r, but not the 3c. |

Google search is showing $110-$129....not sure what all it includes...So, $70 sounds good.

i have 1 n i paid 129 at my lhs n i love it. it has almost all the features that the r has at almost half the price. you can assign the 3rd ch to any of the buttons i have mine on the thumb button on the handle for my winch and i had my dig set there also i found it was the best spot cuz all you have to do is just tap it with your thumb |

Thats a great price! I too just bought one for my son. It is a pretty nice radio. I paid 100.00 for his.

I have one myself and I feel its the best investment in rc stuff yet. Does everything the other models have . I have right now 4 vehicles on just that one controller. The only bad thing I can say about it is.......the dx3c will keep you with boo coo extra controllers and rx laying around collecting dust!!! You know how I know..... Cause I have boo coo laying around! Seriously , you recieved a great deal over all! |

I bought one monday at my lhs got 129. you got a smokin deal, congrats. I took mine back though. Ended up with a 4pl instead. But the dx3c is a great radio from what I've heard. You should go buy more for that price and sell them on ebay. Lol... Sent from my uber smart, smart phone.... |

If it came with the RX then yes you scored. If not it's a fair price. I saw a DX4e twin stick for $70 TX only.

yeah full deal. dx3c, reciever, 3 sets of grips, AA batteries, bind plug, and an on off switch. not sure why they include an on/off switch, but what the hell!

I paid 100 plus tax at my lhs. I love this radio, simple, light and easy to set up. The price is excellent for tx and rx. Only thing I'd change, is to mod a backlight LCD just because it would be sexy.
