You also forgot that pro drivers get "paid" to use certain equipment. If they signed with futaba or airtronics, they wouldn't use the spektrum stuff (against contract). I'm sure if airtronics or futaba work on their own dsm type systems it will be the best ever according to their factory drivers....basically I'm saying "wake up". I purchased the dx2 system and couldn't be happier. Send yourstuff in for the upgrades...caution though, you won't have anything to whine about.--Al
