Default Dual esc wanamix?

I'm looking to change some things on my xr. Currently running M2 works ok. I'm unsure to go dual esc with wanamix I'm running a 3pmx tx. I am not super hardcore w comps but like good reliable setups. So big question is single esc (CC or tekin) and punk or rc4wd dig, or wanamix and dual, or duals and hacked GT3C? Any thoughts or opinions would be great. Thanks

Don't think Punk dig can do proprotional, its only front or rear dig. Wanamix can have both (dig and proportional) depends on Tx. Don't want to sound too cheeky but I do have a wannamix that I dont need (i got 4pl now), so if you are interested I can let it go for a small sum of $, only problem is I am in Australia so will take a while to arrive. PM me if interested.

I have a 2.2 Bully with dual FX-R's, 3PM-x & a WantAmix.
I have a XR-10 with dual CC Sidewinder Micros on a hacked GT3B.

Both work well.

I say do dual ESC's, then decide if you want to do a radio change now or later. WantAmix is cheaper now, hacked GT3B is cheaper in the long run.

I started with a single ESC and a servo dig. it worked, but not as well as the other 2 options.

PS, I ran a M2 for a while on the hacked GT3B, I could never get a decent set-up so I sold the M2 off.

Dual ECS's is a must if you want proportional mixing. As far as getting the dual's to operate. You can use the want-a-mix with many different radio's, or the GT3, 4pl, 4pk. You will have to look into each of these options to figure what you like best.

Dual esc's all the way!!! Get some sidewinder micro's and the gt3 and be done most cost effective option on the market!!! If money were not an issue I would go with the 4pl or 4pks but nothing wrong with the gt3, I just like the feel of the 4pl better is all. Do some research on the radio's to see if and when some of the other functions may come into play in your future because if your gonna get a wraith and want a winch with rear steer and lights that work of a switch well a hacked gt3 is the only 1 that will do all those functions!!!

Its not a GT3 its a GT3B or a GT3C. Please don't forget the letter. I've had numerous angry emails because people buy a gt3 thinking it can be hacked.

Thanks for the input guys, seems like the hacked gt3c or b will be my best option. Pick up a new tx and buy dual Esc in a couple weeks. I imagine losikids website is best ordering route, just a couple questions regarding all the differences available.

Yep, buy it through www.OverKillRC.com already hacked and add the VR mod.
I have no issues with the steering bearing yet, so mine is still stock, it's your choice though.

It's a voltage regulator mod which is a whole new one which makes the tx able to run off 2s lipo and makes the battery last much longer between charges as it is more efficient
