Hey everyone,

We're looking for some input on what is the best 3 channel radio to run a dig set-up using an R2 tranny.

Thanks!

I run a Airtronics MX3. I use the third Chan for dig but not on a R2 (Doesn't matter). It works great has EPA and is programable for all three chan's and can support up to 5 rigs. Good bang for the buck and it's FM.

I love my airtronics MX3-S. All the programming and adjustability you need and its synthesized!

Anyone have any input about the Futaba 3PM??

i've run my hitec agressor srx for 4yrs now with no problems. epa's on all channels, exponential on thr./str., 10 model memory, spektrum ready, tiny rx, adjustable tension on trigger and wheel. all this for only $100. a better bang for your buck.

I run an old skool Futaba 3PDF. All kinds of stuff for the 3rd ch. It has 3 or 4 model memory.
Ch. 3 can be a momentary switch or a 2,3,4, or 5 position switch. You can make any of the positions be anywhere in the range of servo travel either direction.

I just use it as a 3 position swith and you can trim it on the fly say, for instance, the winch is drifting.

All this and they are cheap as hell and FM, you can't beat it.

I don't know about the best, but it's certainly the cheapest!
