I guess it comes down to the same old question. What do you prefer? And in this case. How well is the Radiopost backed up by the manufacturer?

I missed the servos.

Yeah, I don't know what that counts for.

I'm waiting for the moderators to kick this one onto the Radio/Electronics forum.

That's a lot of batteries, besides performance, that was one of the reasons I dumped the stock gear from my truck, it went thru batteries like AE was paying for them.

Well I use energizer rechargables, and when it dies I plug it to my venom pro and it charges them in like 10 mins lol, I only put the nonrechargables cause i got a mins grace when I went onto the track to race and it was glitching, so I put them in it to race once lol

Always good to have a backup plan.

Spektrum only takes 4 so it's not a big deal. Almost not worth the effort to use rechargeables.

I've been using a ProTek LiFe 2100mah battery with my Futaba 4PL. I can't even begin to tell you guys how awesome it is to run off of a LiFe battery. Highly recommended if your TX supports it!

Thanks, looks like my DX3E does, I'll have to wait till my DX3C comes back from Horizon to see if that does.

Broke the steering return spring. It's still under warranty. Shouldn't have been bragging on it.

I've heard that too, supposedly the one they replace it with is more durable, we'll see. I never had this happen with my 3E. I'm researching for an upgrade, either Airtronics or maybe Radiopost. Should have done that in the first place. I guess hindsight being what it is. The advice I would give to anyone starting out is, don't pinch pennies on radio equipment.
