Default dx3c question

I need a rx/tx. I have a chance at a brand new dx3c for 100.00. I run a honcho, I may get a winch I may not. I also run a ax10, I may get a rear dig I may not. so I may or may not ever need 3 channels. i just spent a shit ton on the honcho. every damn upgrade available. That means Im kinda on a budget. Sooo the million dollar question, can I run a winch and a rear dig off this setup. that is If I ever decide I need too....I currently am running 2.4 axial radios. will it be a upgrade? thanks in advance.

p.s. if i could afford a 4pl I'd be all over it.
p.p.s. I don't want a gt3b something about it just turns me off.

I am running my XR10 with a Novak M2 Dig on my DX3c. It works great. The switches are programmable to 2 position, 3 position, or proportional. This is my first and only Spektrum surface radio, but it seems to do a great job.

Its a waste of money even at that price. Why support a company that does not want to listen to what the crawler community wants/needs?

Yes you will have one channel available for EITHER dig or a winch but not both at the same time.



























P.S.Buy a hacked GT3B and you will be much better off.

SMR is probably right. That is a little high. I picked mine up for $80 including an RX.

However, just because they don't make a radio that is PERFECT for crawling doesn't make them a bad company. It just means they haven't released anything specifically tailored for crawling...yet. They crawler community has been growing like crazy so they will undoubtedly come up with something.

Well the cheapest online price I found was 129.00 shipped. I am going to trade out some hvac work so I will have a hour labor into it. I guess I will own a DX3C tomorrow. Im shure the hacked GT3B is a great unit, but I don't like it....

You are one bitter guy, get over the GT3B already.

I'm glad you like your Spektrum, I don't really like the brand, but I don't post all over slamming them either.

Sorry you had issues with your "other" radio.

Yeah I got issue's, I bought the gt3b, cause there are so many people on here recomending it. So I bought one from one of the guys on here that did a write ups about the radio.So it has the hack, firmware update,bearing mod,high voltage regulator.So I bought one to save money on a multi-model 3 channel radio. And after buying 5 recievers, and 11.1 volt lipo for it. It turns out to be crap,and I don't like it. And every one is so amazed and shocked that I think the radio is crap, and its me.Then I post a question in gt3b section asking what it worth so I can sell it.Cause it does work, but just not for me, and the posting is deleted. so yeah I got issue's, with the gt3b, be glad. that now I just got issue's now, cause I used to get mad and things would get ugly real quick. And end badly for them.
