Hey, I am looking for a cheap AM radio that comes with a reciever. I saw the Hitec Aggressor, and that looks decent. Any other suggestions? Thanks

please send pics to [email protected] . I do not need offers, but I will take them serious and allow them. I also want more suggestions on some cheap radios, like the brand and model and I can look on eBay. But once again, I will accept offers... and send any pics to [email protected] Thanks

Why AM? What are you looking to spend? Are you looking for programable or dial type settings?

AM, because FM is to costly for me. I am looking to spend $20 shipped. I am looking for a dial settings, pretty much just Steering trim and Throttle Trim. Thanks

I'll only be able to take pics thurs, going out of town tomorrow early and coming back wed late. If its not too late i'll send em to you.

Get a Futaba 2PL. Digital trims and 10 model memory. Even has ABS and dual rates. I like mine but want to get FM soon for racing.
 
Weird I came here to ask the same Question, I hope you dont mind me asking my Q here Redhatman. i dont want to start another thread asking the same Q.

I was looking at a radios I liked the Aggressor, i would like a AM, but is their a decent FM for under $150. I only need a TX, and RX. I dont want all the fancey bells and whistles. just a good radio any sugg.

I've had the futaba 3pm about 6 months now,
i really like it fits good in my hand & has more settings than i need lol the servos that come with it are generic imo ...the only drawback to me is the r133f receiver that comes with it takes a short xtal
honestly if i had it to do all over again i probily would have gone with the syn version of it
 
I know this sounds crazy, but I am only looking to spend like $20 (working)... I am on a low bugdet, and just need a radio that gets the job done. Thanks

Look at the rc10gt XP2 radios on ebay... I currently use one on my GT, and it works... I'm gonna buy a synthesized reciever so i can use my new xs3 pro with it.
 
20 is pretty far in the mud as far as radio gear goes...that OFNA is probably one of th ebetter deals you'll find on one........
Tarant: I use the 3pm too...great radio good price NO SPEKTRUM...lol.....I might be selling mine soon if interested.....
