the mars "feels right" when you hold it.
that gold thing looks dodgy. the jr, if it comes with the stuff pictured seems like a good newbie radio. looks like a well weighted design also.

both don't really have a different design in it...
Is the JR meant to replace the XR3?
no wonder RMS are trying to get rid of their JR's, no doubt to make way for the new one (looks like XR6 or XR8 in the pic?)
The JR is better looking than my XR3
I quite liked the cobra, just ashame it's not in FM....
The EX-5 was on my list, but apparently RMS advertised it @ the wrong price when I placed my order ($268 incl servo's and all!)

I've got an XR2(nice little radio) right now but when I come home in a few years I'll have to upgrade since you can't use 75mhz at home. Ko radios and esc's are sweet. I really like the mars.

ahhh, that's right the USA use 75mhz eh?
oh well... What's the benefits of 40mhz over 27mhz if any?
and again FM against AM?

I have heard that JR might be going synthesised tx and rx so no more crystals.
