I actually prefer this over my DX3S..MAINLY due to the horrible range I get from the Dx3s..I get atleast 300+ more feet in range with this radio, or even with my stock trx 2.4ghz radio...
ONLY negative I find atm is it uses 8 AA batteries...but I'm going to switch it out to a 2200mah 8c 11.1v lipo that'll fit right in :D
