I got to see the DX3R in person this past weekend and it is a very comfortable fit for my hands. I haven't really liked the feel of any radio since the Airtronics Caliber, but this one felt VERY nice right away. I didn't get to drive it, but I'll be likely to grab one when they're available.

I wonder just to notifying us in the beginning of release.
In the case i am totally unpatient to await in this whole time.

Then there's 1 more question which is from my friend, i hope someguy will try to answer:
If Spektrum will release DSM2 pistol grip radio, why didn't release stick radio as well?

Best regards

Spektrum has the DX7 and DX6i which are DSM2 air radios, so technology is out there already.

This radio does not have ABS breaking but on the other hand you can manage a separate breaking curve depending on your driving style.

Hope this helps

Unfortunately i don't understand nothing about air kinds, why didn't release convenient 1 for surface?

Sorry, I thought that what you meant for sticks were air radios, which are the DX7 and DX6i.

Oh, there is it, if they made radios for air, so why didn't do the same for surface?
But i am confident will not be in short moments, in the case nor dx3r is already so they will not touch yet in other kinds, then i will tell it to my pal, thanks.

No. Well, mine doesnt at least, i dont know if that will change when the production models come out. But I can imagine that a backlight would be quite a drain on the 4 AA's, just my thoughts...

hmm...can you do me a favor? Can I get a reasonably accurate measurement of the battery compartment? I've been looking at potential lipo conversions and I've found a few close ones. shhhh...don't tell anyone I'd hate to void my warranty when I get one.

whoops

Couple photos from the manual, batt box and a view so you see the trigger.

Dang that's tight in there. I found a couple possibilities that you could fit a 6V regulator in too but just a little on the long side. I wonder what is under the plastic to the left of the batteries...I'll probably get one anyway since I need a good lefty radio.
