3pk vs m11
 

Wich really is nice to have? is it just feel or features that make you buy? let me know guys im in the hunt for a good one i like them both just dont know wich one to go with kinda towards the m11.. or m8 if theres not much diffrence in them..

Ive had both i switched from the 3pk to the m11 and my only complaint is the wait of the m11. The m11 feels more accurate, could just be me. I also feel the the 3pk was easier to use, but i am willing to deal with the poor layout of the m11 for the precision it offers.

I own and have used both. To me a radio is all about how it fits and feels in your hand. I chose the M11. I don't think there is any real difference between any of the high quality radios on the market.

I haven't used the Futaba so I cannot comment but I can say this, I had an M8 for 5 years. I would have switched to the Futuba a long time ago but I didn't like the feel of the radio...I just wasn't comforrtable with the hand positioning after using the M8 for so long...no other reason than that.

I would have went to the KO but it felt like it was flimsy and made poorly compared to the M8.

When the M11 came out, I jummped all over it. It has the same balance and feel as the M8 however, I found the radio 100 times easier to use than the M8. The digital display along with instructions make for a really easy radio to use. I love this radio, it's truely a piece of work!

I am sure you will love which ever radio you choose but I just had to throw my 2 cents in on this.

keepem cumin.. I dont like the KO for the reason of it looks like my spectrum unit... i just read that there is a super3pk and that there might be a chance that futaba is going to sell there own spectrum like unit with there controlers? any speculations on that

Yes..there is a 3PK-Super. I just got mine yesterday.the synthisized version. improved software over the original. easier to access the menu. and very balance while I hold it.

and yes.. Futaba is coming out with there 2.4ghz system. a High Speed Response system. the reciever is super slik... no antenna wire to mess with.
I posted details on the Pro4 thread... ( I think ).. :blush:
should be released sometime this summer. the Module and reciever can also be purchased seperately if you already have the 3PK...

how much was you super3pk? also is this controler more balance then the regular 3pk because it seemd front heavy to me..

$350.
reg. $380 at Tower..less $30.00 discount code.
more bottom heavy now that it includes a vibrate alert in the handle.
it is slightly heavier than the original 3PK.
there is also a new nicad pack holder that the previous version did not have.
20 model memory..don't know any people that has 20 rc cars or boats... :lol:

yep just go my 3pk-s fully synth! very sweet and balanced. I like lowering the steering wheel to keep my right arm straighter.

what full syn mean? i always thought that was like the spectrum where it doesnt use crystals?

fully synthisized.. no crystals...not a full 2.4ghz system like the spectrum.
still uses the different frequencies that are used on 27mhz or 75mhz.
simply dial in the channel you want to run on.

will that get rid of twitching?

I haven't had any twitch problem with mine.

I have a M11 and swear by it, and my buddy has a 3PK and swears by it. I don't think you could lose with either one. See which is more comfortable in your hand and go with that one.

I had 14 cars at one point. I had my radio set for a different motor (Stock and Mod) for onroad and then set up different for each car with a normal and a slick trick set up. I think I had 27 set up's in the radio. You don't have to do that but why not take advantage of all the bells and whistle's?
