I would stick with the dx3r. It's top of the line in my opinion, while its still inexpensive.

I have a 3PK with FAAST and no issues. I also have modules for FM and snyth FM which gives me a lot of flexibility.

I have 2 3PKS and love them, best radio for the money. One has a FM synth module and the other has a Faast module.

in order to use those i think you have to have the pro module.

Douglas, i suggest an helios ex10 euros/helios!

now they are a kickarse radio.

I hope so, I'm ordering my Eurus this evening or tomorrow. I debated between the 3PK, 4PK, and M11X. I am "upgrading" from my DX3R, that radio just doesn't do it for me. The reason I ended up going with the Eurus is the price of receivers. I can actually sell my used Spektrum receivers for almost the same price as I can get a new Ko Propo 210 servo.

I have both and like them for different reasons. I like the build quality and modular setup of the 3PKS but don't care for the weight and little more complicated menu system. Forgot to mention the backlight is a plus at times, too. I like the DX3R for its lightweight, uses less batteries, and extremely simple menu system. I think this is the best bang for your buck.
