The other Futaba dual stick radio is a 3VC Super or 3VCS is based on 3PKS radio.
This has been discontinued and now removed from their site just last month.

Here is my modified stick radio with 4PK antenna and 2.4GHz Fasst module.



Other brand dual stick radios:

Esprit III Universe, from Ko Propo.
Exzes X, latest dual stick radio from Sanwa/Airtronics.

there is a guy on here selling the KO Espirit III. Very good price and it looks brand new. do a search and it comes with 2 recievers.

You can always ship one in from Hong Kong if you want to wait.

I have been watching this old FF3 that is brand new. I loved this one wish i still had it.

Well I made a offer to the hong kong people on ebay.. We will see... I saw that guy with the KO on here but decided to go a little more modern. If I cant work out a deal on one of those Airtronics. I might get the futaba you have.

Yeah its pretty good. No fancy bells and whistles but it has a timer, lap counter, sub trims and epa adjustments which is really all i need.

Do you race at trackside ever?

Martin, I remember seeing your post about this mod on another forum when I was researching the Sanwa Exzes-X .... very cool - As a fan of driving sims on consoles I totally love this setup, just too bad I'm sh*t scared of ruining my radio... you have to cut the wires ....right?

Keep checking ebay for good deals on Sanwa Exzes-X, I got mine for £250.00 brand new from Hong Kong, totally awesome price and amazing radio.

Mostly MARCCA but probably will start.. Havent actually raced there yet but hopefully will buy a buggy or another truck depending on if the class takes off with the 22T. Do you race your off road cars with a radio like this?

And I don't ever see them on ebay that cheap!

Max -
Yes i race off road with my stick. My pref is 2wd and 4wd buggies as i'm kind of old school and i like the size of them. However SCT is so popular that i race a SC10 mostly.

2wd Buggies gets about 5 people on a Tuesday night but no one on Sat yet. As i race with my 11yr old daughter Tuesday night racing does not get us home until 11.30pm on a school night so we are sticking to Saturdays.

We race up in Green Bay at Victory Hobbies.

My 11 year old actually prefers stick radios as well! I tried her on the steerwheel as she is so new but she said she likes sticks better.
