3pk pros: rechargeable battery, more adjustability, upgradeable
3pk cons: discontinued model, not 2.4ghz
DX3 pros: 2.4 ghz, extra receiver, cool antenna
DX3 cons: uses alkaline batteries, not as adjustable or upgradeable
Anyone have any suggestions, since my current futaba magnum junior is over 12 years old and has seen better days.:007:

A lot of folks will have different opinions...but I like the Spektrum DX 3.0 so far. It performs well and offers quite a bit of flexibility in terms of adjusting exp/epa. I also really like the fact that you can add telemetry and get real time data from your car (e.g., motor temp, voltage, speed and RPM). By the way...you can purchase rechargeable batteries for the Spek and recharge them using your RC charger (all you need is a 9V battery adapter and an extra Deans (or Tamiya) plug. You can see my telemetry mounting scheme at

I have heard a lot of good things about Nomadio...but the React is significantly more expensive...especially if you are installing telemetry on several cars.
