Now I'm looking to buy a new radio and was thinking of getting a Spektrum DX3C, especially b/c I have a 15% off coupon that expires at the end of this month. I don't want an expensive radio but I just looked at the Airtronics MT-4 and it looks good.

So if I buy a Futaba or Airtronics radio, can I buy cheap receivers (i.e., Orange) for my other two cars that I don't race?

I don't want glitching issues again as it has cost me money buying new parts b/c the car goes full throttle when it gets 25 feet out or less. So I really need a good radio but I don't want to break the bank! The DX3C is $100 or $85 with my coupon but now I'm not so sure this will fix my problem after reading through this thread.
You could look into the Sanwa (Airtronics) MX3X radio. This was the radio that eventually replaced my Spektrum, and besides offering quite low latency time, it also operated flawlessly. It is an older, but still current model, and it can easily be used for racing also.

The MX3X should not be very expensive and the RX's likewise, alternatively look at ebay.
