I personally have not had good success with any Spectrum radio myself and not a single one of my friends use them either. REMEMBER, that is just my 2 cents, I'm sure there are multiple people here that will swear on them, I just want a more reliable link to my expensive models, especially when some do 75mph+.
Oh yeah, I forgot to add a Spektrum Dx6 to the parade I listed above. I have all these systems because 1) I like gadgets and they're
relatively inexpensive enjoyment 2) representing IBU products here it's handy to have these so I can see how they work with the IBU.
I can't even remember which tank(s) I'm using the Spektrum in. The Spektrum has a good quality feel to it but they aren't inexpensive.

I actually like the look and feel to the earlier 9xr; the 9xr Pro not as much- bordering on glitzy as is the i10. The Trannis is solid as are all the Futaba but I'd expect that.

See for yourself:
