RADIOS??????
SO I have a Futaba 2ch Radio(am), A well as a Traxxas 3ch radio(fm)
I am looking into getting a better Quality radio, one that I can use for on-road racing, possibly also some bashing of my off-roads.
What is better to get..AM or FM? The prices of new radios arent to outragous, I would like to get a 3CH just so I have that option, does the 3rd channel make the other 2 weaker in any way at all? You can Still run 2 channel RC with a 3 channel Radio right? You just have an empty slot in your reciever( am I right?)
Edit= what are these PCM models? are they worth tripple the price of an AM or FM?

RE: RADIOS??????
I bought a JR Racing XS3, it's a killer setup..
I have my RC18T on setting 1, T-Maxx on 2, Evader on 3, adding an XXX-NT on 4 tonight, and still have two more things I can add to the transmitter. The only thing to buy to add something is a reciever (about 75 bucks). I'm sold on the JR, it doesn't use crystals, and I can change frequency if someone else is using one that I'm on.
