But yeah feel them out. I chose futaba because of the good pricing , easy to get ahold of , there somewhat lighter weight and fast response. They also have nice servos.
Statistically more pro drivers use the m8/m11 , but they say a lot of people are starting to switch to the 3pk. I personally think the m8/m11 is too large for my tastes. But then again who cares what I think. Its all about you.
Good luck.

I love my M8, not planning on upgrading to the M11 for a while. Best thing is, right now you can get an M8 dirt cheap on ebay since the M11 is out. The M11 has a lot of nice features, but I dont even use half the stuff on the M8 so why spend all the extra coin? But whatever feels good to you is what counts. The VRX Li-Po made a big difference on weight also for the M8

I love my 3PK!! Alot of people here in San Antonio use the Helios.... Just like cars, it's just the one you prefer..

I run a Spektrum based 3PK and am very pleased with it, although it is a little more battery hungry when running the Spektrum system compared to a standard Futaba frequency module.
Some people have commented that the 3PK feels a little heavy in their hand.....probably the best thing to do would be to get a feel (demo in your LHS) of the various transmitters youre considering and then make a decision based on what feels most comfortable and user friendly.

I have a 3PDF, but I'd really like spektrum and the other features. It also kinda destroyed two of my Hitecs mysteriously . The JR is settling in and it seems to work great! I love it. It's still a KO helios in my eyes and it clearly says at the bottom...Ko Propro! HAHAHA!

I prefer the Futaba 3VCS myself. It's basically a 3PK, but in a 2-stick verson. With a pistol grip radio my throttle hand gets exhausted during a long main. With the 2 stick I run a neck strap, so I don't really even have to hold the radio up. I can concentraite on driving more. It also allows me to be a little more precise on the throttle and steering inputs.
