recommendations for good 3channel radio

[ctsthoncho]

what is a good 3channel radio for relativley cheap but still good?

Spektrum DX3c...

[Charlie-III]

FlySky GT3B or GT3C. If that is too little down the road, you can hack it to 8 channels.
Unhacked they are less than $50.

Check out OverKillRC (link in my sig), he does hack kits.

So the final two choices are the futaba 3pl and the DX3C which one would be the best for scaler and a winch??

He's got a credit with RPP so he has to get something there. Any help is appreciated

i kinda like spektrum over futaba but its personal preference and ergonomics.

my honest advice would be spend the credit on something else, and buy a flysky.

not only is the radio inexpensive, but so are the receivers. about 8 bucks or so for a 3ch rx, and 15 or so for the 6ch. you just cant beat that. all the guys in my club are seeing the light and switching over.

flysky hack isnt needed if all you want is a simple budget 3ch radio, but it really opens up what the radio will do.

So does the flysky work with 4ws, I'm pretty new to rc also & i wanna upgrade to something good for 4ws but im also on a little bit of a budget so this looks good to me but i really know nothing about radios

Yes, when hacked

[Dtempleton]

He has in the past, maybe limited now.

But, you can always buy your own radio and the OverKillRC hack kit and do it yourself.

Tonight 4 will be posted on my website, won't be anymore for afew weeks

[Dtempleton]

Ok i will have to get on that then!

[ctsthoncho]

i got the DX3C

Not sure about 3PL but DX3C has 3 position 3rd channel switch which is good for winch operation. If you only have 2 position sw, you have to get a device from heyok.
