Just got back into RC and went with the ground game this time. When I flew giant scale planes I always used Spektrum radios. Not sure what all this SAFE stuff they have now is. Literally bought a cheap 1/16 scale 4wd truck off Temu and it was over. Had to get something big. Bought a 30DN BWS-5B buggy which I am very impressed with. If it holds up well I will want to upgrade my radio first. Servos probably second then go from there. Was looking at the Futaba 3PV with R304SB receiver. Good choice? I have no clue on the ground stuff. I don't need an $800 10 channel surface radio or anything but want something pretty good. Gotta have a screen for programming too. Would like to use same transmitter for multiple models. Everything almost seems RTR nowadays or bind with Spektrum. Don't wanna start a war, if it's anything like it used to be lol, but what are pros and cons of Futaba and Spektrum. Is one actually better or just personal preference. $179 for the Futaba and receiver seems fairly cheap to me. Haven't looked a lot into the Spektrums yet. Keep in mind I'll probably go electric on everything else if that matters at all. I'm all ears and have very little experience with surface radios.
