Default Airtronics/Futaba/JR???

I currently run the JR XS3Pro and am looking to upgrade to a new radio with a plug modules so I can run Spectrum stuff in the near future. I am thinking about getting either the 3PK or the JR Z-1. I'm not too crazy about the design of the M-11, but am still considering it. I like that I can still use the Z-1 with the JR 310 receivers I have now, but am kinda leaning towards the Futaba. Any input from those that have used these would be greatly appreciated...pros/cons, likes/dislikes etc. Thanks.

I have had my 3pk for two years now without a problem.For the past year I have had the spektrum unit with it,not a single problem.I think it is the best radio out their.

I've had my 3PK for over two years and the Spektrum in it for over a year. No problems at all. I replaced the NiCad Tx with 2500mah NiMH AA and can race all day in 1/8 scale buggy (long mains) without a worry.

I tried the multi wheel position adapter since I was used to an Airtronics XL2P and a Hitec 3D Lynx but found that the standard wheel position actually felt better and more balanced.

The new super version enhances all the positives about this radio.

These days all the radios can do the same thing as the next. I run Futaba 3PK as well. My opinion is run what ever feels most comfortable to you. I am used to the feel of the Futaba throttle and wheel tension. Although it is adjustable I leave it at the factory setting. It just feels better to me. So run what feels best to you.

I am using a Z1 with a Spektrum Pro setup for my nitro vehicles. I like the Z1 for the $$$ b/c it comes with a synthesized module and an RS310, which I keep in my electric vehicles.

Anyone of the 3 mentioned should be fine...I would try to hold them first, if possible.
