Default Airtronics MX V or futaba 3pl

I am looking to get new controllers for my son and I. I really like the 4pl, but have a hard time putting out $450 for two. The 3pl seems like it is sufficient and at a decent price. Seems like I see mostly spectrums at the track that I go to, but all I hear is bad things about them. Do not see many Airtronics there but hear good things in forums.

What is are your thoughts on it.
Thanks Dave

If you get the 3pl you can use the same receivers as your 4pl, which is a plus.

Just bought the 4pl and to me was totally worth the extra money
Besides that tho I personality say go futaba, I've owned both brands and even tho I've never had a problem with any airtronics gear I've felt the futaba was just a tick above on the quality.

Just my opinion tho as pretty much anyone who comments will usually just suggest what they use.

I run an mt4. Bought a mxv for my grandson and it is a super radio. Communication speed to receiver feels the same as my mt4. Wheel is firm compared to my mt4. Bought at tower for super price. Feel that it is the best deal out there. Good luck with your choice.

Am thinking in getting a mt4, i got a fut. 3 pl no problrms at all with the remote, i just need one with telemetry, 4pls it look good and i heard good thing about it, but do not incluedes any trlemetry sensor, and the airtronics include 2 servos, rpm sensor, temp sensor for the same price
