I run the XS3 radio in all my stuff
been that way for years
The gasser seems to kick the fail safe here and there but I am switching things over to Fasst slowly
If you have the money get the Fasst system
Mine is on it's way for my 5T which the JR always kicks the fail safe at long range
I have the JR in my SV and it will go scary far away

I run mine in 4 different boats with either the RS300 or RS310 rx. It has always been flawless for me. You can't beat having one TX and run all your boats off of it.

I was told that JR has dropped the wheel radios for boats from their product range. Don't know if that's true or not but it would be a shame because they are such a great radio.
