Default Getting back into this need radio help

Been out of RC racing for about 10yrs and now I want to get back into it. I picked up a pair of RC10T4's to crash errr I mean race at my local dirt oval/off road track and they are pretty much complete minus radio/receivers so since I have been out forever I need help choosing.

Right now I don't want to spend more than about $100 and have seen a few nice radios on eBay (2PL, MX-3, etc) and would prefer the most modern in that range (digital, 2.4, synthasized, etc) that I can get.

Please help me out with the best you can with links or whatever to make this easy. Also ones that come as kits (radio, receiver, servos) would be nice.

Thanks in advance

I was in the same situation - my last setup was with a Futaba 3PDF. With the brushless setup I had in my car, the 3PDF was glitching heavily. I replaced the 3PDF with a Futaba 3PL. I had an e-coupon for $20 which brought the cost down under $100 (your posted target price). My bro-in-law has an Airtronic MX-Sport - which is currently cheaper than the 3PL @ $89.

Both radios work well, have good range and for the most part have not shown any glitches or range issues with brushless setups. Also - both radios have multi-model capability if you want to run both your cars with separate receivers. The binding process for both radios is also very user-friendly.

So if I can get an mx sport for about $75 new it would be a good deal? What about the full LCD digital eBay radios? The eucla or something like that.
