The 540 class isnt very big here in the US other then at the Tamiya Series races and only Tamiya cars race in that series.
I did a quick screw count for the Mi3 for anyone that is looking to upgrade to Ti I posted every screw, but there will be places you don't want Ti.

Crap; forgot 2 M3x6 csk screws to hold the servo to the mounts

You're right, it is a big investment. Especially with the micro receivers running $100. But in my mind, it was worth every penny.

I'm still weary of the Spectrum stuff personally, gonna stick to RC03 until I stop hearing any complaints about it whatsoever...

If you use a Futaba then spend in the Fasst system!!

I guess I was one of the lucky one regarding spektrum. I had mine on order when they first came out and I have had zero problems. I switched over to the Pro system a while back, but to be honest, I can't tell a huge difference.
In my offroad equipment I still use some of my original 2 year old Rx's - and both my wife and i can't complain one bit.
I love my spektrum equipment, especially the new small pro receivers!
Just my worthless $0.02
