(They run about 1/2 the price of the normal spektrum receivers....)

However, once I'm up on the stand, it's flawless all night long. (190' indoor dirt oval)

Sorry, if I asked a redundant question. I just would like to have a confirmation on that... it is much cheaper...

thanks for the great info!!

Unless I didn't go back far enough, I don't see where anyone compared the Losi unit to any Spektrum unit. The only posts I can find ask if the Losi will work with regular Spektrum transmitters and modules. None of my posts mention the 3000 or 3001 anywhere. What started my series of posts was someone having trouble binding his 3500 receiver to his Futaba radio and someone advising him to push the bind button on the receiver.
