Radio gear is one of those things that will really frustrate you if you skimp on the quality. The Japanese-engineered brands are generally the best (Futaba is my choice). Bad radio is more prone to interference, and the servos tend to cause problems with poor performance and innacurate centreing.

Agreed! Hitech servos are garbage.. A fellow racer went through 4 of these in two months before I convinced him to buy an Airtronics servo. Five months later he is still using the same Airtronics servo with no problems.
Go with the Airtronics MX-3. It's the same one I use today.. It has been working so well that I haven't had a need to switch to a Spread Spectrum remote yet. Airtronics also makes an MX-3s (spread spectrum version). Buy that one if you can and you will never have to worry about frequency interference.
The stock servos that come with the MX-3 are decent. If you can, try to pick up an Airtronics High Speed / High Torque servo. They run around $100.00 each, but are well worth it for better control and turning speed if you plan to race.
