Default 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.

they had another spektrum but it didn't have a display on it. it was $70 and the guy said "hell i'll sell ya this one for the same price, i don't know anything about it we just got it"

hell yeah!

i just got into this hobby, and i think i've already paid the lhs bills for 2 months!!

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...

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.

For nitro powered cars or anything that requires the receiver to run off a receiver battery.
