Thanks for this post. I was actually debating on the same radios. I currently use two different radios: a Spektrum DX3C and a Futaba 3PM 2.4. While the 3PM is an older radio, it just feels more solidly built than the Spektrum. I also have had issues with glitching when powering on my Spektrum in my buggy (sr300 receiver and savox servo), but after blipping the throttle it goes away. The DX4S is a nice looking radio, but I think I'm going to go with the 4PL.
