Hello guys, i have a Rustler XL-5 and a Vendetta, and i love them both.For christmas me and mydad figured out that we have like $380 to spend, and i am goingto get something $130 i knwo that, and i am thinkingof getting a heli with the other $250.BUT.......should i get a better radio?would i be bettter off getting a DX3s for the same?WIth all the speed and temp and stuff, or should ijust stick with the heli?

Well a new radio would be a better buy through my eyes. Have you ever flown a heli?? It took me a while to fly them in comfort at the cost of many many replacment parts. I think the DX3s would be better. I have a DX3r and have no probs so far. I got 3 helis and one is in flying order.

If you really want to try helis then you could always split it the other way. Try a small co-axial heli, the eflite mcx or esky lama v4 are around $150, very stable so you should learn fairly quickly, parts are cheap too. Only problem with co-axials is that they are usually indoor helis unless it's really calm outside.

$250 is not a lot to spend on helis and you don't get anything very nice.

if you wanna get into helis, get a cheap one. Like around $150! Esky helis are good choice, very stable indoor! i'm still learning right now and have broke about 6 blades already

thanks.i definetely know how to fly and i'm very good on a cx2, and after many suggestons and reading sround, everyone says the blackhawk 450 is great, and it's only $260 from ka planes plus they are only an hour away from me.

and i am very good with big helis on fs one

In the US it is illegal to use a air radio for surface vehicles or surface for air.

True but if you're talking 2.4ghz it's all the same. 72mhz vs 75mhz definitely don't mix.

I was wondering about that.

???????????????????????? HUH???????????? i mean the radio for my CARS
