RE: need radio
You might want to look here on RCU on the Buy/sell. There are some pretty good deals on 6 channel radios if you wanted to start out with somthing cheaper then the the newer radios with all the pretty buttons!![sm=lol.gif]. Like Bruce said JR and Futaba are comming out with a lot of new stuff so you might wait and let them come out and have some time to get the bugs worked and then get a expensive radio.
Just a suggestion and good luck!
