The DX3r is an awesome radio, unlesss you are running a gasser. For nitro and electric they are so easy to use and have ALL the features you need.
BUT before you buy one, pull the battery cover off and look at the model number.
If the last 4 digits are 0712, 0801, 0802, then it could possibly carry a software problem which will cause the radio to lose bind!
They claim this only occurs during model change, so it should never be a problem, but they're wrong. I've had one lose bind while driving and lost an engine over it.
If you return it to Horizon Hobbies they will change the software for free, so realistically if one was cheap enough it would probably be a good buy.
I now have the repaired 0802, and a new 0808 model that has been awesome.
Dont let this put you off them, they are still a great radio.....
