ok so im pretty sure this is the right place for it but i was recently checking out spektrums site and saw they have 4 channel rx and thought about upgrading from 3 channel i own a dx3c radio and saw 2 different 4 channel rx and was wondering if either one would be compatible with my dx3c cause i really dont want to buy a new radio just to get 4 channel

A 4 channel receiver does not give your DX3C 4 channel capabilities. The radio is only capable of operating 3 channels, using a 4 channel receiver (I'm pretty sure they are not compatible with your radio anyway) still only lets you use 3 channels.

I wish it was that easy. Use a 6 channel RX and all of a sudden my 3 channel has twice the functions. Buttons magically appear. Maybe there's an app for that.

aw fudge i kinda figured it was gonna be something along the lines of the tx wasnt gonna be able to cause its a 3ch but if i do decide to get a dx4c do u think the rx (srs4210) that adds a extra 40 bucks is worth the buy or stick with the standard rx it comes with and save the money

Doesn't the DX4 come with a 4 channel receiver?

it does but there is a option when u select the radio to have it come with the srs4210 rx for a extra 40

Oh. Stability control? That's for kids and girls.

ok now another question and its been asked a few times other than a dx4c what other cheap 4 or more channel radios are out the and yes i know i get what i pay for my goal is to have 4 wheel steering with the ability to turn my lights on and off and a winch all done from the controller also for the 4ws i have it setup to be 3p aux switch on my current radio and would like that to stay that way i saw that there is a person who maodded the software of a controller called a gt3b would it be smarter to get that and a appropriate 4 or more channel receiver for it of the dx4c
