Default changing radio

right now i run with dx3c and was thinking of changing my radio.
i mostly do onroad and find my self as a intermediate/ beginner
if i change to the new dx4c would i notice and difference?
would moving up to dx4r be better? would the dsmr be the same with those two?
how would the mx-v airtronics compare? has any one have any experience with those to compare
if i could get my wife/financial advisor let me spend more then 200 on a radio i was thinking hitec new radio
what radio would you guys go with if max bugjet was $100?

You can purchase a standard mt-4 for 200 bucks on the airtronics.net website right now. The Mt-4 is a great raido with so many bells and whistles to mentioned. I dont know anything about MXV but it should be a good entry level radio to run your car with!

If you can swing ~$200 keep an eye on the classifieds here for a 4PKS and you will be golden. Fantastic radio.

I ran a dx4r for awhile and I can tell you after switching to a KO it was night and day above the dx4r. KO, airtronics, Futaba (any of the radios mentioned above will out perform what you listed) when I ran the spectrum I loved it, but after upgrading it I will not go back.
