Default Radio for 4ws/Dig?

Hi.

What Rx is out there if you want to have independent rear steer or a 3pos dig?

I have a futaba 4pl. Love it like my wife.
But my m8s want to buy a more budget radio.
So what budget radios is out there that meet our 2 demands?
Thanks.

I actually run a hacked GT3B from LosiKid/OverkillRC. I run a dual ESC MOA with dig & proportional. Works great and the support here is also great (LosiKid & other users).

For the money it's hard to beat, if you run multiple rigs, extra RX's are ~$9 ea.

I'm also on the GT3B bandwagon. Use it for my LCC my MRC and my Wraith. All with different features.

Well seeing as the hack originated from a member over on RCTech and that's where the most information is I just thought I'd point the OP in the right and cheapest direction. Unless he just wants to pay more to buy an already hacked radio or likes buying kits at inflated prices.

Where do you think all the special crawler features came from? Me and psx collaborated ALOT in the "key-mapping" and mixing features. And, almost no one on rctech can help people on how to setup their radios for those crawler features. I'm also starting on a more crawler specific firmware and to support some hardware stuff i'm working on for the 3b/3c radios.

When you buy a pre-hacked radio you're paying for the experience and support. I hacked my 3B myself, but when I bought my 3C I wanted it ready to go. Once I get my 3C sorted out I'll probably buy another one and sell my 3B. I do like how the 3C is a bit lighter and I like the rubber grip. Other than that though, the 3B is a fine radio.
