I have a DX3R and I absolutely love it. I purchased it when it came out earlier this year. Before this I ran a JR XS3. I was debating on weather to wait for the 4PKS or not. Futaba makes excellent equipment. The 4PKS was a lot heavier (I’m glad I didn’t wait). I never fatigue when running even a 45 min main with the DX3R. The radio has never glitched and never ran out of range. I run the tinniest antenna which barely sticks out above the body. Plus it only takes 4 AA batteries. The menus are easy to navigate through and I rarely consult the instruction manual. The radio just works. Spend the extra cash on the DX3R you will be glad you did. No question the DX3R is the best radio out there for any level beginner to advanced.

Default 3rd channel

Waiting on my Losi Comp crawler to get here and trying to decide on what radio to get. I also have a T4 so I want one that has multiple memory.

3rd channel has to be 3 position for the dig tranny in it. (front lock, 4WD, rear lock)

I have been looking for 2 days now to find out which ones are 3 position 3rd channel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


thanks

M11 is what i use and love it. Although i also really dig the dx3r and the helios isn't too bad either.

I don't like the 3pk or the ko ex-1 ur that thing was weird with the steering.

I like my DX3R. I used it on crawlers, Slash and on road cars and it works perfectly.

I got it from www.thebarnfloor.com for $250 (the price lowers when you add it to your cart, IIRC).

I'm running Futaba $pk, Spectrum DX3R, Airtronix MX-3 and I like all three. But for the money the Axon 3 Qx system looks to be the deal.

Does anyone able to set fail-safe on DX3S using SR3300T receiver? I'm having problem setting it on this receiver. The other on receiver SR300 no problem at all.
