I am about to do the same thing. I am going withe the DX2 because you still get the 3 channel reciever and for our cars you dont't need to control a third channel. AND it's about $90 cheaper!

I have raced nitro and electric on and offroad for years and have yet to ever use the 3rd channel on my Futaba 3PK. If i could have saved $90 on the radio to not have the 3rd channel i would have taken the money!

not sure bout nitro on road but in nitro boats a third servo is used for the air/fuel pin

so unless you plan to run a nitro boat you dont need to worry bout it

i'm pretty sure you would use the third channel on the reciever to power a personal transponder but you don't need it on the tranny

im pretty sure you can run a personal transponder of the aux power input

Boosta

Your right there Pie_robot you may also need the third channel for a Capacitor just incase you experiance the voltage drop some people have encountered when using certain digital servos (ko etc) you an check this by holding the car in the air and going full throttle and steer left and right whilst listening to hear if the motor slows up.
