Default Which RTR's come with the Spektrum 2 FM Radio?

I want this radio (also for my 1/10 electric), and a nitro buggy, so it makes sense to do RTR (some club racing maybe).

I know the Losi 8 comes with this radio, and also the Sportwerks Turmoil (which has been discontinued...so not an option).

I plan to keep the car for a long time, do some club racing, and upgrade as I break it, so I want a good brand that will provide support for a long time to come, a good basic chassis with a lot of upgrade potential.

Thanks.

Will not be to many more years before all RTR come with 2.4GHz radio systems.

The 8ight RTR comes with the Spektrum DX2.0 which lacks Dual-rate adjustment. This is a often used basic feature, so I would not get the 8ight based solely on the radio as you most likely will upgrade later. I would wait for the 2.0 if it does indeed come with the Spektrum DX3S. That radio has all the basic, often-used features and more.

Losi can include a nice Spektrum radio with their RTRs because Horizon Hobbies is the distributor and parent company of both Losi and Spektrum. So the cost to them is minimal and gives them an advantage over other companies that have to source their radio gear from an outside company.

plus the radio is a major selling factor for them.... do you have any idea of the amount of persons bought 8ights n 8ight-ts over other buggys and truggys because of their radio?
