Yeah, the 3D is pretty well bananced i feel..
If you get the 3D w/ the Spectra, it does come with NiCad's & a charger. It is just a wall charger, but it gets the job done.
I know i'm silly... But if i don't have a reason to buy it... I will get something else.. most likely non-rc.. Now how could i let myself do that?
I'm looking into getting a comm lathe soon too...... Hmm.. *looks at wallet* ... Uhm... maybe Christmas ...lol

TSR6: All I use for my current futaba radio pack is a wall charger. Yeah, I guess I could make an adapter that will let me charge the pack with my Tekin charge since it can go down to .5amps. But the wall charger works fine and gets the job done in a few hours. Or I just leave my radio plugged up while I'm in the pits at the track. Either way, it does the job.

I accually broke my wall charger.... IT just happens to go something along the lines of something hanging out of my car going 65+ mph.... i kept hearing a clicking... and almost pulled over.... but yeah... i didn't... the one cord got chewed bad... but the one for the radio itself accually works still ( the RX pack jack is messed up pretty bad ) I plan on cutting the leads off and just using my PitBull to charge my radio from now on...

simulatedwood: Thanks for the info. But, again I state that this doesn't effect me. I have a Futaba 3PDF not the 3PJ.
I think it was marvi who was interested in that question.
Personally, I think the other radio companies, including Futaba, are lagging behind. Once people start to see others getting by without crystals, they'll demand the same from the big three. Futaba, Airstronics(Sanwa), and KOPropo.

thanks for the info i currently have a 27mhz module on my 3PJ and i plan to sell it along with some of my PCM receivers. im running electric now so i dont need PCM. i was looking at the hitec spectra module and the novak receiver to be used on my 3PJ.

Mr. Mayberry of Hitec was caught 
once saying on another forum about the 3PJ and Spectra module, "They are the same size and I'm not saying it won't work...."

thanks! well i guess im gonna have to rely on you people on the board because no one else on our track has the spectra. anyway, im just thinking of selling the module and receivers because they are still in very good condition. i would really lose a lot because of depreciation.

LOL Funny Guys,
Hey it is me again,
Marvi, I know it works because one of the guys at the track had to borrow my spectra after forgetting his radio crystals at home for his 3PJS. If you are in doubt ask the Hitec guys. Hitec and Futaba recievers are interchangeable too. The only hitch there is if you you have a dual conversion reciever you have to use dual conversion crystals.
At twincityhobby.com racetrack i would say there are at least ten people right now that have been using the Novak reciever and 3PJS w spectra for a month now with glitch free operation and no crystals. Btw: The discovery of spectra working in a 3PJ was complete accident by one the racers here. Go figure:
