The MX3X felt better in my hand though. I cant really explain it more than that. The backlite on the Fly Sky was very night and it has ABS, but the deal breaker for me was the trigger. I had noticed that the Fly Sky was hitting full throttle at 3/4 trigger pull. This was before and after the hack. I calibrated the radio and the esc and it was the same. The Airtronics uses the full trigger range. And it gives me a much better feel. I dont us ABS, so that missing feature is not biggie, but I do miss the back-lite.
Yeah the backlight was a deal-breaker for me on the airtronics mt-4. For $300 it should have a backlight, i mean seriously come on airtronics. There are kits and videos on how to add a backlight to the mt-4 but i just dont risk voiding the warranty if i solder something wrong. $300 phht....gone. Think the futaba 4pl is a good deal for my next radio.
