Futaba 3PM-FM vs JR XR3i
I have posted before about 3 channel radios. Here are my two choices. I have an E-Maxx and I am buying a mini (Mini-T or RC18T). I want to use one of these radios for both. Which one would be the best choice. The Futaba says it has a micro receiver.
Thanks.
Thanks.

both basically have a micro receiver, that doesnt mean that the receiver is only for a micro car, it just means that it is super small. My personal choice is the futaba. I just dont like the feel of the JR radios, they feel too much like toy radios.

Thanks for the input, I am kind of leaning towards the Futaba. Another quick question. Will either of them work with the transmitter that comes in the E-Maxx?
Thanks for the great advice.

Is the stock radio system FM and run on the same frequency band as the radio you wish to buy? I could see the reason for swapping receivers but the Futaba or JR Transmitter is so much better, as there are many options available. I believe the Futaba even has more options than the JR and is cheaper.
