Found everything
 
Hi there

I just recently purchased a Hot bodies cyclone S kit and now I am in the market for a radio and what goes along with it

Anyone have any opinions, I am looking to spend about 200 to 250 dollars

thanks Mike

Start with the best, and get a spekrum DX3R.

IIGQ4U 01-06-2009 09:47 PM

I have one! :)

It is a very simple radio to use with practically no learning curve.

pantherblack 01-06-2009 09:54 PM

hmmm, i was looking at the DX2S

what are the major differences between the 2

for about 175 i would look into the airtronics mx3fhss better than dx2 IMO

futaba 3pm is nice and comfortable. 200$.

myrxseven 01-07-2009 10:43 PM

DX3S would be my opinion, at only 249 bucks........ and you get 2 receievers with it!

all of the above radios are good and will do more than most of us will need.

Good 2.4ghz Radios in the $200.00 to $250.00 range are:

Airtronics fx 3
Futaba 3 pm
Spektrum DX3.0
Spektrum DX3s

If you step up to $300 you can get an Airtronics M11

$350.00 will get you a Spektrum dx3r or a Futaba 3PKS w fasst

$450.00 will get you a 4pk

All of the above are great. There are other choices but these seem to be the most common.

pantherblack 01-10-2009 11:58 AM

okay so here are the receivers that I am watching right now, and I will pick the one I am going to get out of these

remember I am pretty much a beginner, lol

Futaba 3PM
Spektrum DX3.0
Spektrum DX2.0

there is also a KP propo EX-10 for a great price

so in your honest opinion what do you think would be the best for me??
the car I have is electric and I will probably only have 1 or 2 cars
