Hello, going to have to get a new radio in the next couple days. It must be 2.4 and be 3 channel. Money is not really a huge issue unless the radio is like $500. I will probably be slowly converting 5+ cars/trucks over to this. I was looking at a few different ones but I want to know what the best is in that range in terms of feel and reliability (NO GLITCHING!!) Thanks

UPDATE: ~~~~Thanks for all of the replys. I ended up with a Futaba 3pks 2.4. I ordered it on tower and it came with a free reciever. $350 shipped w/ 2 day. I believe I got a very good deal.

I agree with Rolex and Lessen both. I love my 3PK 2.4 FASST. A bit more than the Airtronics....but it is crazy adjustable. The M11 is a very good choice too. Can't go wrong with either. They boil down to which looks better to you.
 
Okay thanks for the suggestions. Is the DX3R not as good as those?
 
In my opinion....No. But that is because I am not an fan of Specktrum. But that is very one sided. I have seen first hand too many issues but a lot of people love them so hey to each their own.
 
I run a Spektrum module on my 3PK. I think Spektrum technology is good but it seems as though quite a number of people are being turned off by their radio's. Granted, I run Spektrum because Spektrum was first on the scene with 2.4 ghz. If I was to start out now I'd prefer to run Futaba's FAAST 2.4 system. It's quite an expensive switch when you need to upgrade module and about 9 cars.
