Depends on a lot of things. Most upgraded non-stock radios have a ton of extra features that people in differing classes of RC enjoy. I bought the Lynx 3D because it can handle up to ten models in memory (as far as settings go) and is a crystal free set-up (with the Novak receiver). This allows me to run more than one model with the same radio and run with any frequency I want without having to change crystals. All I need to do is buy a new Novak receiver for each model I get.

There are several great radios out there with great features that run the full spectrum as far as price goes. If you are happy with the stock radio, then stick with it. If you want to step up to a better system, shop around and buy what you want/need...just make sure you do not buy too much radio.

Sky hit a lot of great points. The only thing I do recommend even if you dont want to drop a lot of cash it move up to a good FM radio they just have a farther Range and they are more responsive in my opion. X

When buying a new radio, you might also want to pay attention for a few things. 1. Feel of the radio. Go to you hobby shop, look at what they got and ask to look at the sample you want. Hold the radio, get the feeling of it, which ever feels best for your hand/grips, then it's the right radio for you. You can't be a good driver if your not comfortable. Hold it like your driving, move it around etc. 2. Funtions/Features, as mentioned above, people pick what they need, some will buy one radio just to get the ABS funtion, some will get them for certain things for different class. Don't go out and buy a $260 unless you know you will put most of the funtions and features in use. If your not using them, then stick to a simple radio that won't cost you an arm...:beard:
