Check other places. I got mine from my lhs and its 75mhz rather than 27mhz on the link and it cost, with 2 servos (1 high torque) transmitter, receiver, $200 OTD. Better prices are out there. Just got to look.

max st prebuilt $159 heheh still cheaper than what you paid for your radio

novicerob = cheap bastard

You might want to just stick with the radio you got. It's kind of like guys who put $5000 worth of stereo stuff into a $800 Chevette. Save your dinero and buy a decent truck, then look to upgrade to a nicer radio.

nahh I don't wanna upgrade my radio. The frequency simulation thing is cool on this thing but not worth $300. I'm fine with my cheap ass futaba 2ch am POS

I would put in on your christmas list, or better yet save some change and go buy it. The radio kicks much arse.

Rob this is actually probably the best value for a radio on the market. Of course you would want the 75mhz version. The thing is when you look at the cost of a nice fm radio then add in the cost of just a few sets of Crystals then add in you are getting 60 bucks in servos. There is no deal anyware near this on the market. Now if you step up you can get a Hitec lynx for around 265 for a full synth set no servos. Then next step is a Airtronics M8 w/sythn rx and tx is around 430.00 or for those of us with way to much money to waste like C then a Futaba 3pk with full synth setup will run around 475 also add a couple hundred bux for digtal servos to run pcm no you can't use your synth rx so now you are back to crystals.. Oh well you should get the point. Around 225 for a full synth setup with JR qaulity and feel is a heck of a deal...X
