Have you moved your Savage to a better Tx?
Bought a Losi Ten-T that came w/ a Spektrum DX3S... debating if I should buy a Rx and move the Flux to it.... anyone done this or have most of you stuck with the stock Tx? I'm torn... the Flux stock Tx is decent but dragging around 2 Txs is a bit of a pain.

Everything I own is on one of my 3 FlySky's so yea I'd move it just to have 1 controller for them.
I got a decent stack of RTR radios sitting gathering dust in a box somewhere

Im runnng 3 out of 4 of my rc vehicles with the dx3s,
the main reason is because of not wanting to have to charge 8aa batteries for my other tx`s that seem to eat battery life for fun,
my dx3s only holds 4aa batteries and lasts for weeks on one charge.

I run an mx 3 fm for my savage and a fly sky fs gt3 (not the B) for everything else, both setup to run lipo TX packs so battery life isn't an issue (tho the flysky just eats power i get 2-3x more life out of the mx 3) but for $7 per RX and a lipo tx pack for about the same you can't go wrong as far as upgrading, i like having two, if i bring the GF out to bash or a friend, it's no issue having people drive

Iuse a 3PKS with my Flux for playing and my B4 for racing. I have always had an irrational fear of using a lower quality radio system with such a heavy powerful vehicle. I felt better with the Futaba because I believed it was less likely to loose signal, go ballistic and nail something or someone.

Even the 3Rs and the better receivers have range issues. ITBJHO Spektrum radios are about as useless as the FlySkys.

slapped a 1800mah 3S lipo in mine I picked up for $12 shipped(got 2) get like 10-13 hours easy off a charge
Where I was paying $14 for 24 AA's which would get like 6 hours per set.
