Any radio system will do it, but it is best to have a radio with multiple model memory. You will need a seperate receiver for each car unless you want to pull it in and out for each use. I would get the JR XS-3 radio, its a nice system that is in your budget and will do what you want.

Why? The JR XS3 Pro is about $20 more and has 4 more model memories than the JR XS3 unless you just don't like the looks of the "pro" version or didn't know about it. The RS310 receiver is also smaller.

I would definately go for the XS3 Pro- the new receiver is supposed to be really good. I have had 3 RS300 receivers that have developed bad glitches. I was told that they fixed several problems that the old receivers had.

Get an MX-3 Sythisized(SP?) it has multiple model memory, a variety of tuning options, and its only http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...=++&search3=Go

Also, yes 10 model memory means ten cars can be used buy that transmitter

You can use any servo with any reciever, jr and airtronics and hitec(I think) use the "Z" connector which uses one bevel on each side of the bottom and all you have to do to use a futaba servo with JR, Airtronics, and Hitec recivers is cut the tab off to fit in the slot

I just bought the JR XS3 Pro. It's great! And for $250 you can't go wrong! It comes with two servos too so you have some backups if you don't need any now. Also it's Synthisized so NO MORE CRYSTALS!!!
It also does come with the new Reciever. It's pretty small!

As for your second car, you can get another JR Reciever for about $80 and A XXXTRA is about $100 Both are synthisized.

But overall, this radio rocks and has more then you probably need but enough to grow in to and will be around for a long time. It also can be used with Digital servos too! Anyway, It's a good radio.
