Hey Guys,

So here whats going on. I got a Futaba 3PK Super which I had been wanting for a while, had a 3PM 2.4Ghz, and finally found a great deal on a Futaba 3PK Super so I bought it and sold my 3PM.

Here the thing, its got more functions and features than I will every use . . . in my life.

Honestly, I'm to the point now of looking for a cheap 2.4Ghz radio system which has very cheap receivers (I hate moving receivers, I just want one receiver in each vehicle and be done with it).

I run almost purely Monster Trucks, Super Clod Buster, Clodzilla II, Juggernaut, and a Dual Hunter, looking to possible get a Blackfoot or Wild Willy in the near future.

I looking at the Tower Hobbies 224, mostly because of the following

A: I never have used the 3rd channel
B: Sold and Mailed from in the US
C: Its Tower so I get double the warranty with my Super Saver Membership
D: New receivers are 22.99 vs 40 ~ 60 I'm paying used now for receivers
E: It only takes 4 x AAs
F: Everything I have read about them has been the same, its a good basic 2.4Ghz receiver

I've been looking at hobbyking, but I just rather order stuff that is warehoused in the US, plus I do have a bit of loyalty to Tower since I have been using them for 10 years with no issues, they have been fantastic.

I like the 3PK Super, its an amazing radio but I found that I'm setting everything to the basic mode and turn off as much as possible. I don't race, all I do is bash, and I never use any of the features that come with the transmitter.

Any and all opinions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

I'd look at these -

receivers are $16 shipped

and that was just a quick look around, I'm betting you can get them from a US reseller if that's what you want.

I like the first one, but I can't find anyone that has given that radio an indepth review, and the both look . . . I don't . . . fragile . . .

I'm still leaning towards the Tower Hobbies 224 just because I know its going to be around for a while and its local in the US. Also only having to take 4x AAs is so nice compares to 8x AAs, makes the radio much much lighter.

i have the 69 dollar tower radio.. i use it for my drifters and such.
its a good radio and the receivers are cheap! 18 bucks i think.

i also have a spektrum ds3s and i love that radio. the receivers are 50 bucks but i love that it has model memory. so it remembers my trims and all other settings that are vehicle specific.

See I have the 20 memory (maybe more I don't remember) on my 3PK Super and the only thing that is different between each of my models is on thing . . . . the freaking name on the LCD screen , everything else is exactly the same.

When I get a new RC car or truck, I spend way to much time making sure that the steering will always be center without having to use the transmitter to center it, and I don't really need any other setting.

I think I'm going to get the Tower Hobbies 224, it just sounds like exactly what I want for what I do, a simple easy to use radio that has very inexpensive receivers to supplement it.

Thanks
