I’m buying a new tx/rx system tomorrow (Saturday the 10th). Sanwa MX-6 FH-E, Spektrum DX5C, or Futaba 3PV??

Thanks!

I'd stick with the futaba or spektrum. Older lesser sanwas would be the mt4 mt5 or mtr. Ect. Something similar to these. The mx6 was a dud for me and would glitch and lose signal. The car would dart left or right during a race and you will be unhappy. Lol. My exp with the mx6.

I second this sentiment. Anything but the MX-6.

My pick would be Futaba 3PV or RadioMaster MT12.

I agree to stay away from the MX-6, but the MT-5 and MT-R are not old, they are actually the latest radios Sanwa has released (newer - not better - than the M17). The older mid-range radios were MT-4, MT-44, MT-S.

The vast majority of racers in my area are running the Fly Sky Noble NB4, no other brand comes close in popularity by a long shot.

Any budget around 200 should always include a noble nb4 so everyone as an easy decision to recommend, the noble nb4

Dont care what you purchase! Its a personal thing. Go to HS and feel what is confortabl in you hands, and the function it covers, plus model memory that last you the nest 10 yeqrs!
