Default any need to upgrade? spektrum d2xs

currently rocking a spektrum dx2s for the past 3 years for indoor, outdoor, boats, front yard ramps/"bashing" with our centro c4.2 and boat-32" mono.

no issues whatsoever. considering going to airtronics m12 for the buggy.... used, about a $300 upgrade.

real question is, big upgrade in "feel", ergonomics, etc...? or more just marketing hype?

thank you and happy holidays! - peace one earth...? maybe someday.

For bashing, you won't really notice the difference, especially if you're happy with what you have. For racing/track use you'd want to consider it but for what you're doing, I'd pass on a $300 radio.

Yeah, if you're happy with what you have, just keep it.

Not knowing what a faster radio feels like can be a good thing.

Thanks for the response. I run and race 2wd buggy at sdrc - nice indoor SoCal track. just bought a futaba 4PK here in classifieds.
