I am a big guy ... I have big hands .. so when I went radio shopping last yea comfort was a big thing for me ... the best feeling radio I found was the M8 I had to do a little dremeling to get it so I could hit the brake adjustment easily and a little for y thumb on the top piece but thats just because I have huge bear paws for hands .... the best balanced that I have found is the M8 but hey this is just my .00002 opinion .. but I love mine and the ability to be totally crystalless is awesome ... I wont change unless a better balanced totaly crystalless radio comes out ... and I dont think thats going to happen for a while ... not without a huge price tag .... and I only have $300 my crystalless M8 ..
have fun racing
