Default FLUX WITH LIPO QUESTION

running a flux with 3s 25c lipos, would it be too much to handle with stock radio? I ask b/c I am reading a lot of threads that mention the insane power, flipping, etc and wonder if too much battery plus stock radio would prevent one from being able handle this beast? Does the stock radio figure into handling skills at all or is it all fall on the ability of the driver?
thanks

Being able to control the insane power would come down to the driver's abillity to drive the truck.

The stock AM radio works just fine. A "DSM" radio is better because you don't have to worry about frequency conflicts.

I picked up a Spektrum DX3S for mine. Works great. I just figured that a vehicle with this type of power and ability to get "away" real fast, it's a good idea to have good radio gear. No need to take chances.
