I've had a lot of problems with Hitec in the past, in fact one of their servos stopped working conveniently at full throttle on my 1/8 scale buggy on the straight. This is after I bought a Lynx 3D that wouldn't even transmit a signal. I wont use them for anything anymore, and for just $30 more than that $80 price you can get the 357 and propably never see a problem.
