Whats the price on that?

[stegger]

Well isn't that just great I've only just bought my 3R under a month ago

Glad I didn't buy a 3R last week! Is there any news on the RRP?

EDIT: Spektrum site says:

Retail Price: $479.99
Available For*: $339.99

compared to the DX3R

Retail Price: $449.99
Available For*: $319.99

So looks like it hopefully shouldn't be TOO much more expensive.

I would imagine they will release the drop down separately for those wanting to convert previous DX3R.
As Grid have just released one made from Ali.

I personally think they should have changed the colour to a carbon graphite or something different.
I also don't like the labels.
But thats just me.

Oh and I want a drop down for my DX3S please Mr Spektrum
