Default I need a new radio.

So I have a 3PL now and I need a 4ch radio. I have a TF2 and would like to run a winch off the radio. So I guess I need a radio with an on/off 3rd ch and a fwd/off/rev for the 4th. Does anyone know of a pistol grip setup like this? Also I've used Futaba for ever. How does spectrum compare? Or am I wasting money on a radio when I can just buy the rc4wd wireless winch control.

Thanks.

Get a hacked GT3B or GT3C. That way you can have up to 8 channels depending on what receiver you have.

I wouldn't get the Spetrukm 4r; it is way too much for the needs of crawling. Go with either the 4s or 4c.

Airtronics MT-4 for the win!
I had the winch setup on my scx with the lever, then used it for 4ws and a button for the winch.
I use the lever on my TF2 for shifting and still the button for the winch.
You could also doing shifting with the button and the lever for the winch..
It's very simple to use, zero issues, and lots of options.
Cheap in price, high on quality!
205$ shipped for the tx/rx to start with. Rx's aren't anymore then any other system and they have waterproof rx's for 45$..
