"top end" "pro version"...? As in the 3 and 4 R pros?

Are they better than the mid or lower grade Spektrum stuff, not sure, could be. I wouldn't know I don't buy mid grade radios regardless of brand. A radio is the highest dollar item most people own. It's the one place people shouldn't try and go 'cheap'

As far as TLR drivers having to run Spektrum radios, that's no secret but I doubt they fly home, walk in the office and say "I would have won XXX race but our radio just sucks"

Would I buy a 3E, 3C or 3S..No, do I have a huge number of very fast local drivers (some driving for TLR) running the 3R Pro and new 4R Pro, Yes.
