Also there is the 2.4Gig revolution about to take place so you may want to go with a 2.4G from the beginning.
See, I wouldn't buy a Spectrum right now if it was me. It's the latest and most expensive radio on the market right now. You should be able to get a nice 72mhz radio for about $250 or less.
I'd wait about 3 or 5 yrs before I bought the Spektrum technology.. Let it cheapen up a bit and prove itself in the field first.
Buy a JR8103 or a Futaba 9C
