Radio upgrade for Savage

[crazyj]

What is a good radio upgrade from the stock savage system? Trying not to break the bank but the radio it came with is sketchy.

thanks

Not sure of your budget, but you can still get the Spektrum DX2's on Amain for about $130 plus shipping. that's radio and reciever. Here is a link:

Of course for $30 more, you can get the Spektrum DX3 also with reciever.

Well worth the investment and far superior to the stock radio's. But that's just my opinion.

Yup, I just bought the spektrum dx2.0 and it seems alright. Just working out a few bugs.

IMO spectrum radios are no where as good as a Futaba.

3PM fasst is the perfect radio for its price. Won't give you any problems.

Ya I'm havin abit of trouble with distance. Its goes pretyy far but I don't think mine goes as far as sum peoples 500ft with this radio. I'm sure I get at least 200ft or so. Not really sure how far the spektrum is supposed to b good for. I'm just trying diffrent spots to put my antenna and where my power wires are running. I also read on their website that using a y adapter wire will also cause interference. Its the y adapter wire that is the switch for your reciever, the one that has the charger lead. I had that on so I took it off and re-arranged my wires and fixed up my antenna so I'm gona test it out tomorow.

I run the 3PKS, but have had a 3PM also and it is great for a budget minded buyer.
