Yeah, i'm unsure which way to go myself,so that probably wasn't much help,i'd like to go to 2.4GHz but i'd rather not spend $500 for the Nomadio because i'd need to buy a couple of recievers on top of that so i'm not changing recievers over all the time.

So for me,depending on how much i want to spend, it's either the DX3 and do without extra model memory and all the throttle curve adjustments or KO EX-10 Helios(you can buy the transmitter for about $210 )plus the spectrum module (around $160).The KO is the same as the Z-1 but without the synthesised FM module,so it makes no sense to buy the Z-1(more expensive)if you're going to add a spectrum module.

The Futaba looks good but you can get the KO and 2.4Ghz module for the same money(ish).($370)At that money that's my choice,or for less money the DX3.

Edit:i agree with Metal Man,if you want telemetry as well then the Nomadio makes most sense,it's cheaper than a similarly high spec radio and then adding an eagle tree,even then for live data the Nomadio is better,the eagle tree does have a dash but i don't think it has the beeps and vibrations you can read while driving like the Nomadio.

The one thing the Eagle tree seems to have over the Nomadio is current reading but the Nomadio may have this in the future.
