which 1, the JR Xr3i or the Futaba 3PM???

I've heard a lot of goodies for the JR. I would go for it.

 

[allhailshakazulu]

ok I've heard good and bad about both... but more bad things about the jr. thanks

What bad have you heard of the JR??

Both are quality radios, dont think you can go wrong with either.

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

Well it depends on what you want. JR gets more signal than the Futaba, has better warranty (3 years to 1 year), and it even says that the JR is a racing system. I've never heard anything bad about it.

 

[allhailshakazulu]

gets out of range easily... and some other thingshaving to do with range and intereference.

coby, ill probably go with the Jr one then... I just dont want to buy it and then regret it and want to get the futaba one.

Coby, where have you heard that the JR gets more "signal"?

OK, I have had the JR for 4+yrs, and have had NO problems at all. That is bashing and racing. Have used it for a bunch of different trucks/buggies.
The 3PM is also a nice radio, a friend of mine had one for years and loved it, only after he got a Nomadio did he shelve it.


I REALLY think you will be happy with either, if you can, HOLD both and see which one feels better in your grip.

Look for the post by arceye. I don't go to this forum, I just google'd JR vs. Futaba and there it was.

Oh oops. Don't go to the link, sorry. But if I had to choose I would go with the JR.
