3pk OR Dx3r. need help
 
ok i own a dx3r, used it for about 1.5 years, i have an opportunity to get a 3pk thru a trade, i know the guy, race with him weekly. My question is how is the 3pk. ive used one for like 5 min and i liked the feel, i didnt navigate thru it at all. can i just get feedback, i like my dx3r just liked the feel of the 3pk

unless it has an hrs spektrum system or the futaba hrs system, its a down grade.

I have a 3PK with the 2.4 FASST and have zero complaints. Its a good solid radio.

I would stick with the dx3r. It's top of the line in my opinion, while its still inexpensive.

I have a 3PK with FAAST and no issues. I also have modules for FM and snyth FM which gives me a lot of flexibility.

I have 2 3PKS and love them, best radio for the money. One has a FM synth module and the other has a Faast module.

What model are your spektrum receivers, and which transmitter module is in the 3PK?

in order to use those i think you have to have the pro module.

Douglas, i suggest an helios ex10 euros/helios!

now they are a kickarse radio. ;)

I hope so, I'm ordering my Eurus this evening or tomorrow. :D I debated between the 3PK, 4PK, and M11X. I am "upgrading" from my DX3R, that radio just doesn't do it for me. The reason I ended up going with the Eurus is the price of receivers. I can actually sell my used Spektrum receivers for almost the same price as I can get a new Ko Propo 210 servo.

I have both and like them for different reasons. I like the build quality and modular setup of the 3PKS but don't care for the weight and little more complicated menu system. Forgot to mention the backlight is a plus at times, too. I like the DX3R for its lightweight, uses less batteries, and extremely simple menu system. I think this is the best bang for your buck.
