Budget is around £150 max, and I have the following requirements:
  • £150 budget
  • Steerwheel
  • 2.4GHz (obviously)
  • Minimum of EPA, digital trims, dual rates. Don't care about exponential
  • Rx must take 7.4V

Any ideas? Back when I was racing, Futaba's 2.4GHz Rxs used to overheat and fail, is this still a problem?
I have just bought a Spektrum DX3C (I had a DX3R and changed to a KO Mars) and it is absolutely awesome. The price is £79.95 rrp and comes complete with a SR300 receiver. Has all the properties of the R and at a fraction of the cost. Check out the usual outlets for deals.
