best 3-channel radio system for noob

the title says it. im looking to upgrade my scx1o tr
i was looking at the big offroader from rc4wd. is this a good one to get
not looking for anything tooo expensive...

What is your price range? Your best bet would be a Spektrum radio, I have had real good luck with them over the years.

price range is about 100

i just want the thrid channel for a winch no fancy dig or anything...

Youre good with the DX3E not unless if youre planning to use it with other rigs which you cant since this is only a 1 model memory radio.

Do yourself a favor and buy new Futaba 3PM-MX. It is the the cheapest 2.4 radio that is fully functional and set up for a dig system.

I agree with him on this one. The last time I talked about this Radio, I went on one hell of a ride with those guys called " Mods ".:? Spektrum in my opinion is the best system out there."thumbsup"

X2... I have the 4PK which is the big brother to this radio and I love it! And don't forget... you probably want to buy a TX you can grow into rather than out of otherwise the money you put in today may just be a waste tomorrow.

I have a DX6i for air and just bought the 3PM MX for surface. I looked into the spektrum but for the price and functions I couldn't pass the MX up. Great radio and price..

Totally agree the functionality of the this radio is great, plus it is definitely a radio you can hang on to for a while with all the mixing modes available.
The price tag is between 150-180. but well worth it.

In my opinion this radio seems to be at par with the traxxas 2.4 system, while it is a great radio to have on the market, and a great thing to see compared to the DX3R and its 300 price tag, I dont think its a worth while investment, the one model memory and quality it is made with just isn't enough.
If I were you I would be better off just getting a 27mhz system then a cheap 2.4ghz system. Seems like a waste of money to not get something you can hang on too.
Not to mention spectrums binding issues...
Just my opinion.

The futaba 3pm-mx fasst. I have it. Great radio & reciever
