Default best 3 channel radio

hey guys whats up, i want to get a new radio and esc combo for my losi, converting it to a comp crawler and thinking about doing the dig trans and need to upgrade the radio. i dont know much about any brands or what to stay away from, but i really want something that doesnt feel so cheap like the stock radio. and maybe something with rechargable batteries and a lcd screen or something easy to change around

I use a Futaba 4PK, in my opinion there is no better radio.

X2 on the 4PK being the best radio. I whole heartedly agree, I have had mine for 5 years. They are pricey, but totally worth the investment. A little overkill for just the Losi, though.

Really depends on your budget. 4PL is a great radio for less money. It will also serve you well if you want to go MOA.

If you are looking for just a 3 channel, with the Losi you will need a 3 position 3rd channel.

People have had good success with the Spektrums, I just did not like the feel. Hit a hobby shop and put them in your hands. That is what did it for me.

Futaba has great radios along with Airtronics and Spectrum.

Hacked GT3B from Overkill RC. Easy to setup and has 8 channels. I love mine. I had no trouble setting it up for my 3-position dig. It cost me $50. You really can't beat that.

Airtronics MT-4...IMO....This is the best radio for the money, yes Futaba is marginally better quality, but for the price and capability there is no better radio than the MT-4.....look into it i feel if you are into the RC hobby and want to maximize your dollar to get more than look into the MT-4..FYI think they are on sale for less than 200, new.

A hacked GT3B with all the fixings is remarkable for the price.
