Which Radio?
#16
The 3PK is the most reliable radio I have ever owned. Not only that but setup is a TOTAL BREEZE with it. The menus are so intuitive and easy to access you won't bother reading the manual until you have spare time. ITS AWESOME.

My last question is about their receivers. Can I use hitec rx on futaba tx and vice versa provided their rx crystal is the same brand as the rx. I saw on another forum that Airtronics, Jr and KO belong to another group which means they can share radio receivers provided of course the rx and rx crystal have the same brand.
Im leaning towards 3PK. But I have to know more about this before I make my final decision. I have to know first it's advantages and disadvantages.
Oh and many thanks to those who replied. You're all a great help!

Is the KO EXI a good one? Compare to HSR and PCM. Will there be any interference with HSR or PCM tech.? HSR is better or PCM is better? Anyone knows?

Here is what I think: if you are not running 3 channel system, ie, 5th scale with front independent brake along with rear brake mixing and steering angle releasing then you probably dont need 3pk(This is one major feature only 3 pk has but other dont)
and honestly I think if you are running 10th scale or 8th scale all the radio out there will do the job since you only need a few function and features.
1. Independent left and right EPA(end point adjustment)
2. Dual Rate
3. Expotential
Basically those 3 are the only feature you really need on a 2 channel system! and of course Fail Safe.
Get one that you like the most, the one that you feel good holding it, and may be something light! it is a task to hold the TX for an hour main, not an easy thing! and Of Course the one that fits your budget
Just my $0.02

Having said that, I have actually not noticed anything different using HRS and normal PCM on the 3PK with digital servos nor noticed any difference in the tendency to glitch. At least for me, both are the same.

Apparently the earlier batches of the 3PK had the LCD screen problem but I have not since heard of that lately. Perhaps they have improved.
If anything, I only had problems attributed to my own receiver pack and the 3PK antenna that came loose a little which gave some glitching problem. Once that was fixed, no problems at all. I'm a happy owner as it more than fits my needs.

Yes, the Futaba radio case is sweat.

Ok, that itself would limit you to 3 controllers... 3PK, 3PJS and the JR R1.
