Recommend me a radio! (4ch, 3pos, rear steer)

[Grimace83]

Hi All,

Looking at upgrading the DX3.0 that is currently used to control my Axial Wraith.

It is running the third channel as a 2 position switch at the moment which does not allow me to utilise the full capabilities of the Axial Dig, which requires a three position switch radio for 4x4, rear free wheel, and rear locked (front dig).

I'm also looking at future expansion so would like a radio that can adjust the 3rd or 4th for rear steer. I'd like infinite rear steer positions so a 3 position switch for this would not be enough/meet my requirements.

What pistol grip radio TX&RX is available in 4 channel to suit?
I'm not sure if any of the Spektrum DX4 radios can achieve this?


Cheers
Grimace

I've noticed that it's difficult to locate them, more so here in Australia.
Hobby king has a MT-4S listed but its pricey and come with servos and what not that I do not require.

Would any of the DX4 radios suit or a Futaba??? I'm reading reviews but getting confused!

 

[snapon boy]

I think some guys use a 4pl from futaba

I just picked up a new mt4s with 3 rx's for 300 shipped on rctech. Look there. There was several mt4 and mt4s radios. I thought amain and tower hobbies had the mt4 on sale for 199.

I'd look at a 4PK and use the scroll wheel for rear steer.

orsum! thanks for the suggestions guys!

I'm going to try hunt a MT4 or a 4pl/pk. Which ever is cheaper and does the job will be the winner!

Airtronics is no more. Look for a Sanwa MT-4 or MT-4s. I've got both. Excellent radios.

Flysky gt3c hacked can go up to 8 channels. Mine works fantastic and the 11 buck receivers are awesome.

Excellent thanks for the heads up! Hoping it is still available

Thanks all, somehow ended up with a DX4R Pro! Price was too good to say no!
Hope it was/is an ok radio!

You will love it. I have had my dx3r for years with zero issues and I love it. I just moved up to a 4 channel. I also wanted to try airtronics again. It's what I ran when I built my first kit in 94'.
