I do race, but its not as if I plan to go pro. Anyone have input on these choices?
Futaba's FASST stuff is indeed very fast but their "regular" speed stuff is also faster than most people's perception is anyway. I would not recommend the 3PMX because the extra receivers are very expensive ($80ish instead of $35-40 for the other ones). In other words, unless there is a reason for you to look at going all the way to 4PLS, it sounds like your decision has been made.
