Hmm. Where are you seeing the MT-44 at $275? I'm seeing $325.

OP. Do you already have receivers? Will you be using this transmitter with more than one model? Do you have a need for more than two channels (throttle and steering)? Do you care about telemetry (temps, vehicle batt voltage, etc.)? Do you have abnormally large or small hands?

Airtronics MT-S
Futaba 4PV
Spektrum DX4R Pro (comes w/ dropdown, adj. steering/throttle tension)

Out of curiosity, what will you be racing?
