Default what radio system for ax10?

was wondering what I should use for a radio sytem in my AX10. I have been looking at the spektrum dx3 system because I may go with a rear steer in the future and I may get a second receiver for my HPI Savage. is this overkill for a crawler? I am currently running the futaba system from my savage and it seems to be a little glitchy.

The DX3 is an AWESOME set up for a 2.2. Works like a champ. The 3rd channle can be used for front dig.....or rear steer if you REALLY think it's needed. It ain't legal though,just incase your gonna compete.

yeah, i am going with the straigh axle from RCP for now but wanted to keep my options open in case i want to add the dig or rear steer. I guess I'll have to keep watching ebay for a good deal!

The Futaba 3PM is a great radio also, worth looking into.

Which DX3? the original or the DX 3.0 the 3.o doesn't have the 3 position switch which makes rear steer difficult

The DX3 is great, and can be found relatively cheap with a receiver for around $100 now.

They have any and all features you'll ever need for a crawler, I think...

What ever you buy you'll need a 3rd channel for dig sooner or later. I have Airtronics MX-3

Default dx3r

im running a traxxas tq3 but am going to switch to the pro model dx3r. ultimate hobby has it for 269, which is like 70 dollars cheaper that anywhere else. but on the other hand the tq3 has been just fine.
