|  A good 4 channel radio?
what would be a good 4 channel radio? I am looking at the Spektrum Dx4s. Would that be a good radio? Mainly looking for one that I can use with 2 or 3 vehicles 1 being a TF2, and the others possibly being a scx10 and the Axial wraith racer. Just want to make sure I have enough channels to cover rear steer, winch, dig, transmission or any other items down the road. Also do the radios have the braking set up in them or do the esc's control that? I can't remember what it's called but it's a braking setup that crawlers like. |

+1 on the 4PL, I love mine and use it on many different kinds of RCs, from Super crawlers to nitro.

x2 on 4PL too... The genuine Rx is quite reasonable priced too. R2106GF and the new 3 channels antenna-less one are less than $30 each.

For a good radio from a major vendor....4PL. For a decent radio for cheap....hacked GT3B or GT3C. Extra RX's are $7-$11, 8 channels, sold by a vendor here as well as supported here. |

Lot of good info here, thanks. Also it looks like the gt3c has replaced the gt3b. What are the differences between the two?
