Spectrum feels cheap ko feels cheap
They are both perfectly good transmitters

Personally I only like futaba or sanwa

They both feel quality
I run a 2.4 m11 sanwa. It's awesome. Has all the features. 5 programable trim switches and a dial. Which means you can have your six favourite adjustments to hand!!

Receivers are small and cheap. I've never had a glitch
Never interference. Its the most popular tranny in the USA
In my opinion it's the best steerwheel on the Market.
Only two downsides. Its big and by spectrum standards really heavy.
The other problem for me was getting used to the lower wheel position. It's in line with the trigger. It def feels weird at first but you get used to it!!

Still the m11x gets my vote!!

I've just moved from a stick 2.4 Futaba 3GRS to a Spektrum DX3R wheel.

Reasons:-
1. Receivers are much smaller and better fit for my Durango and TLR 22.
2. Arthritis (I am 62) my thumbs were getting too stiff (it’s the Viagra you know), whereas a wheel is less thumbs and more finger control.

I have to say after a month of use I like it a lot. One thing that stands out for me is that the speed of response on the 5.5ms setting is so much quicker than I ever had on the Futaba and I’m still getting used to the immediacy of it.
