Default looking fpr new radio need help

Hey guys, I'm looking to get a new radio. I have 4 trucks two scx10's and two Losi's. I'm wanting one w 3 channels for winches and dig and was wondering if the spektrum drx3 would do the job or not. I would like to get a pl4 but with a baby on the way I'm trying to go cheap as possible for now and I can bind the Losi to the spektrums and save some money on rxs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

If you want cheap and good, FlyskyGT3b. get the hack kit and it could be as good as the 4pl.

If you want to stick to Spektrum (since you say it will bind to existing RX's), you may want to look over this.... Vote on most liked/universal Spektrum 3 ch Radio

There is also some discussion of pro's/con's of the various models in the same thread.

if you want cheap and spektrum, get the dx3c. it works great. personally i would look at the flysky gt3b from losikid tho. with scalers you will want more than 3 channels later on. winch, lights, dual winches, and so on.

I agree with the GT3B. Since you have multiple vehicles, the receivers are dirt cheap, it has multiple model memory, and it's an awesome radio for the price.

I have looked in to them a little but seemed like every thing as far as manual was in a foreign language... Are the simple to set up and user friendly?
