i picked up a Futaba 3PM-X 2.4 with Fasst


look here


http://2.4gigahertz.com/systems/futk2021.html


let me know if this is a good Radio


here are the Specs


3-Channel 2.4GHz Computer Radio


The 3PM you've wanted!


One radio for racing, crushing, crawling, bashing and boating!


There's no need to buy separate systems for every application. The 3PM-X handles them all for a single, affordable price and gives you FASST 2.4GHz dependability as a bonus. It offers all the conveniences and features of the original 3PM, plus these new performance and programming pluses!


Four-wheel Steering Mix


Two modes give you a choice of two or four 4WS options — and the ability to switch between them with the push of a button. Choices include: 1) Crab; 2) All-wheel steering; 3) Front-wheel only; or 4) Rear-wheel only.


Digital Trim Steps


16 settings — amazing ease. Set at 16 for coarse initial settings — or at 1 for fine-tuning finesse!


Adjuster Function


Ensures optimum performance by keeping throttle and steering throws and centering at programmed ideals.


2/3-Position Channel 3 Programming


2-/3-position soft switch is perfect for dig on crawlers and other functions.

Generally speaking, anything with "Futaba" written on it is a good piece. The 3pm-X is a very fine radio, you wont be disappointed.
 
I would say go for it futaba has very good radios the servos are kinda ok! just my experince stay away from Spektrum rob64n and i have had 6 or 7 junk receivers right out of the box i just test run my two recivers and radio for the first time after they have been replaced:eek:
 
Calm down racetruck in his post he said he already bought a Futaba Radio, so there is no need to be alarmed in him buying a crappy Spektrum radio that no one has said they have had a good experience with except for me and Obeast.......... :rolleyes: .........Geez!

My Spektrum DX2.0 is flawless.
 
Ive had my dx3.0 for over a year and a half, and my 2 friends that run Largescales have DX2.0s that work perfectly.

Going on a year and a half, actually. It's been used on a T-Maxx, Slash and a Rampage MT. Never had a failure, not even a glitch. This is with the original receiver (Which is discontinued) and an added SR300.
