I use a spektrum dx3c and a fly sky gt3b. No problems so far.

1+ on the fly sky gt3b. best bang for the buck holds 10 cars $35.00 radio receivers $8.00 a piece caint be beat and the radio works great for me so far I have 2 of them full and I have never had any problems so far.

I just upgraded from the 4PL to a 4PK. The 4PL is an awesome transmitter and I'd suggest it to anyone.

The distance is as good as my Futaba. It beats the Spektrum by a mile (literally).

hmm any place you reccomend buyin it from?

+1 on FS-GT3B. I have not owned a radio that performed any better. For 35 bucks you can't beat it. Receivers are only like 7 bucks. It has memory for 10 cars. Binds very easy. It has a port to recharge it, just need rechargeable AAs. IMO best for the buck. Even can be used as a game controller

how did u get the wheel n tire thats on urs? im gonna get it and give it a whirl what kill switches do u guys run?

The wheel is this.

It comes with 4 adapters. One is very close and needs a small shim placed on the flat side of the radios shaft. I used a small c-clip for a shim. This snugged it up nicely. The wheel comes with the smallest Allen screws in the world. LOL. I don't know if they are even 1mm. I had to use a tiny flat head to assemble it.

I use the killer bee from killer RC.

nice! i hope this works out

Spektrum DX3S

I have 2 of those one is 140 hours use time the other close to 300 hours.

Lightweight- 4 AA batteries only and Telemetry so you know battery level at your models or temperature of lipos of electric,gas,nitro motors. Range is good for quarter mile telemetry for 150 feet . Futaba range is more then 1/2 mile due to 6-8 batteries and higher voltage but do you need more then 200-300 feet?.
