Default What's the difference between the Spektrum SR3001 and SR3500?

I'm looking to get a Spektrum Pro module for my Airtronics M11.

The Airtronics Module System (SPM1012) comes with the radio module and an SR3001 (Pro receiver). For additional receivers it looks like I can purchase either more SR3001 (Pro receivers) or SR3500 (Micro receiver).

Here is the question: is there any drawback to the SR3500? It appears that it omits the telemetry system. If I never intend to use the Spektrum Telemetry system, is there anything else I'd be missing? I race 1/10th onroad Nitro and Electric, 1/12th onroad, 1/10th offroad Electric, 1/8 offroad Nitro, and have a few minis so I'm all over the place in terms of vehicle types.

I'm just concerned that the SR3500 might not be intended for all classes of vehicles.

Anybody have any advice on this?

I have seen the 3500 series receiver in a couple of 1/8 buggies with lipo setups in them and they were useing them to get more balance out of the car rather than running the 3000 or 3001 receiver.

Ok, that's good to know that they work in high-power electric vehicles.

Thanks for your answer!

Yeah, other than size and lack of telemetry there is no difference. I have both that I use with my 3pk.

also, the original SR3000 receiver is compatible if you need a less expensive option
