Ive got the standard b4.1 and its had every single piece on it upgraded now apart from the radio system

Its a standard xp setup but now as i have some advanced kit in there i want to look at upgrading

I want a short aerial and some advanced features but on a lower budget, ie not over £150 for a system

What ideas do you guys have? Never had an issue with the xp system

I think you mean the DX3s which is £160 and come with two recivers with short ariels. The DX3r is around £250 and comes with one reciever and one servo.

Anything by Spektrum is an excellent buy. Also consider the Core-RC model which is quite a bit cheaper but has similar spec and is sticks (although I am more of a wheel man!)

Thats the radio I use, along with others at my club - cannot fault it:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: It has manual trim adjustment, and no multi mode memory or LCD screen but is still a high quility radio.

Just to be pedantic.... the DX3R doesn't include a servo.

If it does, it's a blummin' small one, and I haven't yet found it in my box. :p

My fault.:eh?: It's the DX3e that comes with a servo.

There's just too many different ones to remember!

I just recently upgraded to the DX3E as I'm on a tight budget, and can't fault it. It has most of the adjustments that the higher spec versions have, but easier to use as they are all analogue (dials).

I'd definitely recomend it, unless you plan to use it for more than 1 car, as it can't do that.

or you can buy the 2.4g steer wheel system from hobby king its basically the same as the dx3e but will only cost £20 quid delivered .. and its not as pretty lol ;)

from what i gather you are looking for a steer wheel? i used the dx3s it was great until i stuck it in an offroader and was pants, telemetry etc only worked when you were right next to it.

if sticks, 3vc,3gr, things like them. if u are interested ive got a 4 month old futaba 3gr-2.4g radio that is for sale.
