XS3 Pro or Spektrum?

[UE-Maxx]

I am looking to get a new radio when I get the cash because I am looking to race and need a good radio.

After doing some reading I am undecided on what to get. Either the XS3 Pro, DX3, or another radio with spektrum module (don't really know what my options are).

I don't need a top of the line radio. What different kind of radios could I use with the spektrum module? What do you think that I should do?

I would probably go with the specktrum dx3, I had a jr xs3 pro its a great radio but its the same thing as the xs3 except the colors and the grip

[Ponch]

Yeah, I have the XS3 now, and if I could do all this again, I'd get something spektrum.

[UE-Maxx]

Ok. I will see what other people say. They are both in the same price range. $250

Go Spek. you will never have to wait for a open Chanel at the track.

[UE-Maxx]

Ok. Should I go with the DX3, or what transmitter should I get with the spektrum modules.

[BlackWolf42]

I really have to recommend the Spektrum radio. If you go to the track, you won't have to wait around for a free freq and you nearly eliminate the chance of glitches.

[dentguy92]

the DX3 is good but not alot of adjustment. you can look on ebay for a good used M8. I have seen them for $125 to $200 but then you will never need a new radio

[UE-Maxx]

So if I get an M8 where could I get the spektrum modules and what exactly do I need?

[Ponch]

You can get them off ebay (not sure how much though) or at just about any hobby shop i'd imagine....You'll need the module and the receiver.Correct me if I'm wrong.

[UE-Maxx]

Ok. Maybe I'll just get he DX3 first then learn how to use it and everything and if I really get into racing I'll go with the M8 or M11.

[Sh1nn3r]

I dont think a m8 or a m11 is going to be a world diffrent from the dx3, the dx3 looks like a great radio.

[Michowski]

the m8 and m11 are a world of difference over the dx3. Lots more features and there a lot faster acting then the dx3. If you ever tried both of them you can instantly tell a huge difference.

[Sh1nn3r]

How would they be more fast acting?

[Michowski]

there a high end radio and the response time on it is just a ton faster compared to an xs3. And with spektrum the m8/11 radio's become even faster. The response time was a very huge improvement when I got my m8. I would say the response time was twice as fast compared to xs3. To me it seemed like that anyways. Lets just say i had to turn up my servo's speed with the xs3 and with the m8 i had to turn it down a lot.

[Sh1nn3r]

Awesome, thanks for the info mich. I will be looking into a m8 or a m11 now.

[cemeb4dk]

I agree m8/m11 spektrum

YOu will never outgrow this radio

[Michowski]

im actually probly gonna be selling my m8 and spektrum to get the m11, il keep you posted if i decide to do that.

[dentguy92]

you can find used a used m8 with spek for 200 on ebay all day

[Sh1nn3r]

If you find me a m8 on ebay with spektrum in it, send me a link i will buy it.

Ok thanks.

[UE-Maxx]

As I am thinking I need new servos also. I know that the servos aren't great that would come with the DX3, but its better than old stockers.

[Sh1nn3r]

m8 with spektrum and reciever with a bag worth 240?

[Tex]

if it's in very good condition, I'd say ...yes
