If you really want G3, Tower hobbies has a $25 rebate and $20 off of a $200 order. Without shipping that would put you around $ 160.00. Tom's FMS cable has been $54 for 3 - 4 years. FMS is nice, that is what I first had. Picked up 2nd. hand G2 and was glad that I didn't spend 1/4 of full price. At $54 dollars it almost makes sense to buy a buddy box with the round Futaba connector, and the cheap $20 FMS cable!
