Maybe Futaba warranty is better in the USA, because in Australia it was worthless to me and wouldn't cover what is obviously a design fault. (The Aus technician spun me some bs about he's been to Japan and seen their quality control bla bla bla, woop-de-f..n-doo!)

The Futaba has more range, Spektrum actually admitted to and fixed quality issues they had with the roller in the early DX3S radios.
