Thoughts and experiences of the Spektrum DX3C

[RogerM]

The day will very soon arrive where I have to consider either changing to a steerwheel transmitter or give up racing.

As the latter isn't something I want to consider at the moment it looks like I am headed to a steerwheel. I used to use a KO steerwheel many many moons ago but went back to sticks as I prefered the feel so although not totally alien to me it will certainly take some getting used to!

I don't want to go splashing big bucks out on a transmitter to start with as it will only be used for VRC Pro and to practice initially so I was considering a Spektrum DX3C as it seems to have everything I need (end point adjustment, steering rates & greater than 5 model memories) and will work with my existing Spektrum recievers.
I need another RX anyway so once the price of that is considered it's only about £45.

Anybody used one of these? Any comments or observations that might help me decided either way?

If I do indeed migrate to steerwheel I'll probably look at something a bit more high end as we all like to have radios with dozens of settings we never use

Feel cheap, but work well IMO

I have no personal experience in using one mate, but there is a hell of a lot of guys at the club that do use them. On that basis, they must be quite good.

I'm not so worried about a cheap transmitter feeling cheap, been using a KO Universe which is an expensive transmitter that feels cheap!

Seems like a good way to go to test the water ... thanks for the feedback

I have been using one of these for about 4 months and they are great, only criticism is that the spring for the wheel can pop off and it requires sending the radio back or taking it apart and fixing it yourself but voiding the warranty

Have you considered the Ansmann W6, very capable radio, receivers are very cheap too.
