I have allway's used Futaba radios, I love my 4pk. Take a look at Futaba's new 3pm-x, it's a solid 3 channel radio for a good price. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXXRL8&P=SM Do your homework and find the best price. |

We have these also. Nice radio, but seem to sell alot more DX3R's though. The nice thing with the KO for a great price you also get 2 receivers. | |

Seems that most of the pros run DX3rs and Futaba 4PKs. I ran a DX3r for about a year and liked it alot (actually got it from RPP too). Took a look at the 4PK and how many options it opens up with dual ESCs.........and have never been happier with my switch to the 4PK. It is pricey but was worth the $$ in my opinion. HTH Andy |

You get what you pay for, especially with electronics in this hobby. Nomadio, Spektrum DX3R and Futaba 3pk/4pk are all top of the line. Its all in how big your budget is. I run the Nomadio now but i will be upgrading to the 4pk pretty soon.

Its all in how big your budget is. This is true, I ran a JR XR3 and recently upgraded to a Spektrum DX3 for about $160 NIB. I'm sold on Spektrum |

Ya get the most control for dual esc/motors with a good stick radio. I've been a futaba guy for 30+years and can't drive sticks so have a 4pk. Does almost as much as sticks. If ya aren't running dual esc/motors the 3pmmx is a great radio for a great price.

Im running the Futaba 6EX stick radio. They take a little to get used to but the control is unrivaled, IMHO. MOA & 2 FXR's
