Default Hi Everyone!

Hi guys/girls
Completely new to crawlers / scale rc

I been into rc for years , I fly helis all time and bash my trucks when I can
I just have a few questions or problems I would like worked out

I have a slash, savage flux, and some tamiya vintage cars ,
All have there own tx
I'm done with swapping and changing
So I'm in the market for a new radio

I want to buy a high lift , without mfc,
So I need a 3 position switch to run the gear box "so I'm lead to believe anyways "
Is there a radio on the market that will run all my rc cars trucks and crawlers ?
I really like the dx4 and the likes but it does not have 3 way switch ?

Any info would be great
I do apologise if this question has been asked before
Iv googled and come up with a guy called losikid or something , he mods these flysky radios
I want to try and stick to off shelf stuff if I can

Cheers

Welcome,

IMO I would say the Futaba 4pls. 40 model memory, 10 model naming......3 position switch. I used to have the 4pl......but broke it . So I will be getting the new 4pls. Great all around radio.
http://www.futaba-rc.com/systems/fut...pls/index.html

On a side note...the flysky radio's can be hacked by losikid or you can do it yourself....he has all the stuff to do the hack yourself......they are a great cheap radio system. And you can assign different buttons, switches etc. for 3 position. And to top it off the hack turns it into an 8 channel radio if you want

Cheers,
Wade

That sounds like a sweet TX . Does this come with multiple receivers? I'll be checking this one out.

Neither come with multiple receivers. The flysky receivers you can get for under $10 a piece. The futabas are more expensive, but you also will pay for quality. I absolutely love futaba radios....... But I also appreciate a good bargain, and the flysky fit that niche for me. I will say I would not buy the flysky if it wasnt for losikid..... He can figure out problems if they arise, where you probably would not get help from whoever else that sells them... Haven't had any problems though. The futabas are a really nice product and good warranty. Oh and your welcome Benny

Cheers
Wade
