Good bad and ugly looking for good 3 channel 75mhz synthesized radio. Who has the best dog in the fight? Going to need a minimum 6 model memory.

Personally the new Spectrum DX3R I believe it is called is an awesome choice. I got the chance to actually hold one at I-Hobby a while back & it felt better than any I had felt before. Last week I got to see one in action & look through the set-up screens. It's the way to go in my opinion ! The way the scroll works on the side is great. The menus are labeled so anyone should understand how to set it up correctly.

The Nomadio system are also very nice. The set-up & menus are labeled & very easy to use. The coolest features of these models is the on-screen telemetry that is available. The React model I have used several times & I really like them as well. They are what I would consider a newer company & so time will really tell for sure. I still have to say watching your head temps. live as you drive is very nice. Not that you need to be looking at your radio while driving ....

In a 75mhz even more choices ... My 75 that I use is a Hitec SRX & it fits me well & I have driven with it for a couple years. I also have a CRX as well, same design as the other.

Good luck on making a choice. There are so many good choices. The Futaba Fasst systems are also very nice. Spectrum has just become a very well known name, with a very good reputation. I would say that the ability to run without confilct is worth considering a 2.4 ghz system over 75 mhz.

Just my opinions ....

I'm looking for the middle ground right now, not a pro radio, I just want to go play anywhere without conflict, I love the spektrum stuff I got to play with a radio this past weekend the $$ is a little steep, I'm looking for something older that I can find used in good shape.
