Thank you guys a lot, really appreciate your help. AggieFlyer, Liked your 'coke vs pepsi' example
. etivac13 i absolutely agree with you about the difficulty of programming futaba transmitters, i used to use a 3pm for buggy racing, and i will say that i had to check the manual many times. But overall i would say it's a very good radio with a very reasonable price, and believe it or not, i like it more than the 4pks. i think i will go with the spectrum because i never used their electronics, and i hope it turns out to be a good trans.
thanks again guys
