Get yourself a Hitec Flash 7 radio. They have all the bells and whistles you will need. Also if you buy before Dec. 31 they will send you 2 Optima 7 receivers FREE. I bought a radio and for $20 dollars more got a receiver with the radio and then the 2 free. For $189.00 I got a new radio and 3 receivers.I don't believe you could do better. Good luck.
