| picking the right radio
looking to upgrade my radio. Want to add four wheel steering. I want to be able to steer rear separate from front. I will at a later date also add a dig system maybe double digs. Might add a winch . my ride is a gmade r1 rock buggy. looking for a radio that will grow with me so I don't have to buy another in the future. Would a stick radio be better. I would prefer to stay with a pistol grip. Any suggestion's would help.

Futaba 4PLS -- They are really nice radios and support mixing for steering and dual esc for MOA. They pretty much do everything but it lists for around $250. Hacked GT3B or GT3C from Overkill RC -- The radio firmware has been upgraded to support up to 8 channels and supports mixing. Depending on model/options you can get it for under $100. Flysky GT3B I have both radios and like both of them. I would be hard pressed to pick, if I had to pick just one. | |

spend the money on a good 4pls or 4pks. i went cheap with a rc4wd 4 channel and regret it know that i need more channels great radio just should have spent the money on the two mentioned radios. this is just my two cents.

GT3b or GT3c. Fully hacked from overkillrc.com. With everything you want to do I am counting 6ch needed, there is no other pistol grip radio out there that will do what you need. I have a 4pl and it's for racing. I use my Gt3b for all my crawling stuff. 4ws/2-speed trans/dual winch/dig, the hacked flysky does it all. |

| Re: picking the right radio X2, you can now or you will later. Both are great radios, I knew that I was going to be in the hobby for awhile so I bit the bullet and got the 4pk years ago. Never regretted it, has been able to do whatever I needed it to from go-fasts, to go-slows, to nitro, to whatever. They are the standard for a reason. |
