Default T-Maxx Radio Question

My advise to you is to pull that POS TQ3 radio out and throw it in the trash! Mine went to he11 in less than 2 hour's use! The servos are OK to use (though the Maxx definitely needs a much more powerful steering servo), but the transmitter and receiver are absolute garbage. A very good 3 channel FM radio can be had for less than $150. It'll cost you a lot more than that to fix your Maxx if it decides to runaway because of a lost radio signal and ends up getting crucnched by a car, or smashes into a telephone pole or something. I can't stress enough how important a good radio is, and someday these companies that are putting out these RTR kits are going to have to start including good radios. These POS radios they're including now (most companies anyway) are just plain dangerous!
