Spektrum DX5e.... Anybody thought of one for their Clod?

This looks like it could be a great budget radio. From what I've you can disable the mixing options so it SHOULD work. I might get one when I start my super build. 2 ESC's and independent steering sound nice, but what to do with the 5th channel? Give me some opinions guys. Is there a cheaper and better choice?

Just found out, no EPA. It does have Hi/LO rate on Aileron/Rudder/Elevator to switch between 100% and 70% travel. I guess I could just adjust servo arm to get the travel I want.

get the dx6 its cheaper and alot more support from this forum. ive seen alot of them last weekend at my LHS for sale from 40-80 bucks, it was a hobby swapmeet ofcourse but im sure you can get it like that in alot of places. I got my DX7 last week too and it was a VERY VERY SWEET DEAL

I don't have many hobby shops around me, and the ones that are here are expensive. It's usually cheaper to get stuff online even with shipping.:-(

Robot Marketplace is a good on-line source for RX/TX gear and servos.

Their prices are ok and they ship fast.

I just picked up a Futaba 7CAP for $230. It's primarily to run my Heng Long M41A3 Bulldog tank, but I've got I think memory for 20 different models so it will also be used for my Super Hustler project that is just getting started.

(After watching Ebay for months I finally stumbled on that elusive dream auction and scored a brand-spankin-new Hustler kit and a pair of Raptor axles for damn good price. YES!!! I still can't believe I was the only bidder)

I'm leaning toward a twin-ESC/twin stick control setup right now, for independant control of steering and throttle of each end. Probably a pair of Rooster/Fifty-Five kits (I love the Rooster in my 2.2, great ESC) But it will probably boil down to whether or not I can learn to drive the thing set up that way...
