Now as for radios I flew airplanes professionally for a while and used JR they are amazing and as for now i use Futaba and really love eveything about it. so go either Sanwa, JR or Futaba like the 3PL.
Spektrum brown out all the time? I don't think so.
Hey did you know that five or six years ago JR 2.4GHz radios and Spektrums all came out of the same factory. Yes, it's true they did and the biggest difference was the name label on them.
I'm not a fan boy of any radio but I have had very good service as does many of the racers I race with using Spektrum. Is the DX3R as adjustable as a 4PKS, no but then it is $150 less too. Does it have all the bells and whistles for 1/12, 1/10 and 1/8 racing, yes.
I have a question, why use a 400oz/in servo in a 2WD buggy when a good 100oz/in servo is more than adequate. Overkill is popular because of the attitude if a little is good than much much more has to be better, not true.
However, you are entitled to your opinions as I am. Remember that these are opinions and not fact. The bottom line is that you get the best performance from a radio that you are comfortable with.
