Default Any new Radio coming out?

I have a choice between the Futaba 3PK and KO (Super fancy one) Transmitters or buy a brand new Complete Spektrum DX3 with servos for 300 bucks each. I am currently own a FG Monster Truck and i will soon own either a Kyosho Mini Inferno ST or the Mini LST in a month or 2 whenever it arrives.

I like to know if there are any new controllers coming out sometime around Decmeber and the new year? I am in no hurry to drive my FG since i sold my JR XS-3 but i am actually more excited to drive a mini since there is more space to drive them and no worries of people complaining in the city and since it is a RTR kit i won't mind holding off on the controller if there is somthing new that can use a spektrum module.

Rumours?

the nomadio is awesome. I saved my leopard yesterday. My swith malfunctioned and the throttle got locked. The steering failsafe kicked in and put the buggy into a controlled large donut. Otherwise I would have been running for my life to try and catch it.

No radio I know off comes with a fail safe for the steering servo infact Im sure thier isnt even a fail safe for the steering. Although you could put a fail safe on the steering servo duno what you want it for.

As for radio's KO's Helio's all the way nothing better by a long shot used by all the top drivers no exemption and I have one aswell.
