I have a JR radio and absolutely love it! It is an XR3i. The reason I got this radio and not a dif JR radio was because I was on a budget. It is a good 3ch and I can program 4 dif r/c's off of it.

I'm happy

I use my Hitec Lynx3D w/Spectra. Works fine. If you are getting a new radio make sure it will work with the new Spektrum DSM technology. It should prove to be the biggest technology leap in RC this year. Check out the article in RC Driver March 2005 page 30. It's kinda like Blue Tooth for RC.

I'd go with the JR XS3 Synthesized radio. No more switching crystals.
