How does everyone feel about the MX-3 as a starter 2.4G???

Just to clarify...the MX-3FHSS

The Mx-3 series of radios are very good! All the adjustments you need. The 2.4ghz version with it's price point is awesome!

Just remember that the receivers are not compatible with the M11 2.4ghz DSS.

Go for it!

I had the original fm version of that radio and it was really a good radio for the price. The MX-3's are really easy to navigate and very user friendly. Plenty of adjustments for most racers and they don't eat batteries too fast.

It says 8 Alk batteries...but can I use my nimh rechargeables?

Yea you can use your rechargables i have the mx-3fhss and i think it is great and the reciever is small so it can fit anywhere

That is an awesome radio for the price. It is a great radio period regarless of price. Perfect for someone starting out and you can use it for a long time.

Only bad thing is it doesn't have no expo.

So maybe a DX2.0 would be a better starter.....???

NO WAY, take the MX over the 2.0 every time. the 2.0 is also a very castrated radio in terms of useful features, even over the 3.0 which gives u an extra receiver. so the pricepoint makes the 2.0 an even worse deal. GO MX!!!

It does... "arc" is similar to Expo... not quite as percise as Expo but it gets the job done

OK....what's "Expo" and "Arc"?

2 different nomenclatures for similar adjustments on a radio. 'ARC' is an airtronics term
