Hi all


Trying to get a idea of what radio I should upgrade too. Tax refund coming in the near future and would like to get something better. I currently have the Futaba 3pl.

The radio works good, but to me feels like it comes from toys R us, to toy like and plastic like if you ask me. Would like to stay under 300, hopefully under 200 or as close to that as possible.

Also can use either a Lipo or some kind of LIFE battery for the Reciever.

Thanks

Andrew

i would say go for the 4pl or the mt4 both within 300 and both great radios

I've been pretty happy with my 4PL. Receivers are pretty darn cheap too. Makes it easier to have a reasonable crop of vehicles at any one time. You should be able to get one pretty close to $200 from tower if you use one of the coupons.

Thanks, Most likly get it from my LHS. Even if it costs me a little more, I try to support them. If not my track might just disappear.

even better! always support your lhs in ever way possible

How are both these radios? I mean the Futaba 3pl feels like a toy more then a rc remote.

I went all RadioPost and do not regret it.

I just got a Futaba 4PL for the son and it's a nice radio. And like said above receivers are cheap and small. It has all the features you will need too. Picked it up from the LHS for $239.

I love my 4pl.

I love my 4pl. My only complaint is no drop down wheel. I was amazed how much better my friend's radiopost and my other friend's 4pks-r felt. The drop down wheel just feels better period. That being said, the 4pl has a great feel to it, best trigger in the industry and the grip is very ergonomic. Still a great radio and i'm very satisfied with my choice.

4PL!!!

Now does the 4pl feel like the 3pl? I mean to me the 3pl feels like a toy from walmart.
