The hacked GT3B is the cheapest, the hacked GT3C is a bit more. Extra RX's are ~$10 ea depending on how many channels you get. The hack gets you 8 channels plus a lot of programming options. Click on "OverkillRC" in my sig. There is also a support thread in this section. I run a hacked GT3B on a dual ESC 2.2 MOA. A lot better than the "servo dig" I started with and a little better than the Futaba 3PM-x & WantAmix I went to next. | |

Yes I've heard good things about it but I have a couple of questions. Is it hard to operate and program? Also is it dependable and what upgrades available on the overkill rc website are suggested?

Mods, I would suggest the VR (voltage regulator) mod, you get longer battery life, even with the 8 AA's. I've run my hacked GT3B for a little over a year, this includes comps and practice time at home. I've yet to have an issue. I do have the steering bearing kit, but have not seen a reason to use it yet. You should be able to order a hacked radio, with whatever mods you want done, all at once. If you also get the programming cable, you can do firmware updates down the road. | |
