OK now you have heard the Ford vs Chevy argument. I am a Futaba fan and agree the 6xa is a good radio. However JR makes an excellent quality radio also. Why not STICK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. That way you have some standardization when you want to mix and match components or hook up to a cycler, fast charger etc... I recommend staying with JR to standardize what you have as you grow into the hobby.
