I'm also in the market for a new radio after my 40MHz Futaba 3VC developed a fault - not worth repairing, sadly.
I've looked at the 3GR and it has ALL the features I ever used on my 3VC - namely sub-trim, EPA, Dual-rate, EXP and the ATL feature to limit the brakes. It maybe doesn't feel quite as nice in the hand, but it is half the price and still listed as a current model by Futaba in Japan (the 3VCS has disappeared from their site).
You don't need those fancy features like ABS - I would actually avoid a lot of them for electric racing.
