My kids and the neighbor kids use them and love them (mx-v's). I have 4 of them......lol

Nick Maxwell is trying to get Futaba USA operational any day now:

As far as budget systems go, Radiolink isn't half bad, I keep one in my pit box at all times to have as a back up and loaner, kinda lacks on ergos but electronics are very reliable for club racing:

I have Sanwa MT4S and my son uses Futaba 3PV. We also have a few other budget radios. The Sanwa is obviously out of that price range, but I really like the 3PV. It has all the features you need. My only complaints are the menu is a bit of a pain as you have to cycle through every option rather than having sub-menus. Not a major issue because once its set up you don't really need to change it much. The other is that it could be a bit small for people with bigger hands. I find it fine but do know people who struggle with it. Otherwise build quality, performance, ease of use is all great.

I would vote against Sanwa purely based on the price of receivers, the cheapest Sanwa rx is the same price as the most expensive Futaba, or around 30% more expensive which makes a difference when you're setting up multipe cars.

I would say get a spektrum dx5c is $109.99 and for the money offers alot of features I get mine tomorrow

Got my new spektrum dx5c today got it binded to my Tekno sct410 after just using it for a bit today I would tell anyone get spektrum dx5c it is an excellent radio for $110 has alot to offer

IMO:

I used the Radio Link RC4G too, excelent long range radio with good response and some extra function. Had few video on it as shown below, bang for buck. btw i have Spektrum and Sanwa...colleting dust:

3pv or mxv
