The DX3R sucks nads as far a features for the price
I have a 3PK Super with FASST, and I know the 2.4 in my radio is heaps better then the DX3R, only thing that I like about it is its super light.... Its not smoother, I have no doubt in my mind there.....
IDK features on the 3PM, so I cant comment on the fail safe...
there both good radios yes, but the 3R is overpriced for what it is.....
I vote the DX3R as that is what i have. I will admit the Spektrums are a little on the expensive side but well worth the money in my opinion. I have never been a Futaba fan myself, i just don't like the feel of them.
