Both Futaba and both at near the same price selling at my place... it just happened, obviously, the futaba 3PK is 2nd hand.

Crawling wise or probably with better mixing, which one i shud buy? the 3PM-MX is 2.4Ghz radio, new and with almost every setup for crawler but i also heard here that the 3pk is not a bad choice too... its selling with spektrum module too ...

im so confused...

if i have the extra, i go straight for 4PK.. no need to choose like this. :cry:

Pls advice this newbie for the "best" between this too radios. thanks in advance :mrgreen:
 
Get the 3PK, WORLDS OF DIFFERENCE! There is SO much more versatility with the 3pk over the 3pm. Much better radio, Yes, you can do mixing on a 3PK. Has true 3pos 3rd channel that is EASY to set up. Easier to tune, Easier to use.
The 3PK is just a better radio period.

If you are finding a used 3pk with spektrum module for the same price as a new 3pm-mx, GO FOR IT! Its a good deal.

The 3pk is a better radio but for crawling it really won't matter. If ya are doing rear steer or losi/moa dig the 3pm x is pretty simple to set up and use. If ya want to do axial dig or mix dual esc the 3pk is better. If ya are also using it for racing, no question, get the 3pk. The question is fasst/spekturm? The spekturn does have some bind problems but it also has some tiny receivers that tend to be easy to find and cheaper.

guys.. thanks a lot. i've been in dilemma with this choice. my heart says 3PK but its a 2nd hand stuff and quite many here selling it at the same price as the NEW 3PM-MX 2.4Ghz.

most of the time.. well currently coz got older.. wanna slow down after so many years gone faster with nitro racing from onroad to offroad racing. Still find nitro smells good.. hehehe...

but anyway.. yeah.. i guess i go for the 3PK for its many benefits.. i just hope the spektrum works... if not i will be deep shit.

thanks guys... wait.. i probably gonna post the 3pk pics.. just for assurance.. hahaha
