I had a cr4t lots of options but after half a year started to have few glitches but I went to a spectrum dx4s and was like driving a different car
Get the spectrum in ur price range as the dx4s is only a little bit more then the cr4t

I recently swapped from wheel to sticks and I too plumbed for the DX4s. Modelsport were doing a deal by where you 3 RXs with it. That swung it for me.

I'm about to get a dx4s but I'll only be getting the he controller as I already have all the receives.

I went from a Spektrum to a Sanwa MT4 and have been thoroughly impressed and never had an issue whilst I did with Spektrum. Some of the other guys I race with have also changed to a MT4 and they also found the same. All in all can't recommend it high enough.

Sorry, i meant from sticks to wheel, silly me.

Echoing what Badger5 said, the older (silver) radios are said to suffer the odd glitch with response times etc but the newer blacks are said to better. I've had not a sniff of a problem with the Dx4s, I've never used a silver radio though so can't do a back to back comparison.

The price of high end japanese recievers puts me right off the likes of Sanwa et al unfortunately.

I went from dx3s with no glitches/no problems to the cr4t problems lol and next too dx4s and bk to no problems

The only glitches I have seen are with poor electric setups or the spectrum modules as the terminals go bad in the bk plus spectrum like most other brands are on thire 3rd version of 2.4ghz now so old bugs would/should of been worked out
