3PV or Dx5C
I thought i was done with racing, but we now have a 1/5 dirt oval track now. I am looking at replacing the rtr radio with one of these. leaning towards the futaba.
I have never owned a spectrum so....
I am a little concerned over the size of the futaba.
Thoughts.....and thanks.

I have no experience of anything else remotely recent, so my opinion counts for little, but I'm perfectly happy with my DX5c. It has more than enough adjustments than I could ever need and it's going to take me a while to work my way through them all. Took my buggy to the park today and got far further away (other side of a full-size running track) than I would ever want to on a regular basis with no signal problems.
It does feel slightly plastic-y in my opinion, but I don't know that any comparable radio would be any different. It's super lite, so I can't imagine any long-term comfort issues.

Oh, and despite official specs saying otherwise, I'm fairly sure a rechargeable battery pack could be installed pretty easily. Whether or not it'll handle the higher voltage of a 2s LiPo is the question...

I would recommend Futaba 3PV or 4PV, Since 1/5 scale is so big.

Run a 3PV myself. use it in both my racing vehicles and its great. not as well built as say a 4pv or 4psl but it does well. I was even able to get mine with the 4 channel telemetry receiver so its great wit that added feature. heaps of different things to tune, change, etc. For the price i love it. dont see myself upgrading anytime soon to be honest.
