Default looking for advice on new radio

It looks like driving my t-maxx underwater has finally cost me. The third channel on my Tx/Rx is finally going. I'm gonna need to get a new radio set and wanted to ask for advice/suggestions in the ~$100 or less range.

I do not need anything fancy at all, just a nice quality Tx/Rx with 3 channels.

Any suggestions in the neighborhood of $100?

Thanks for all of the replies. I guess you are right, my price range really limits my options to the Futaba 3pm (which looks really nice to me), the hitec aggressor srx or the airtronics mx3. They all seem to have a relatively similar feature set. I guess at this point I'll just check those ones out and pick one to order.

i got a hitec Lynx 3d and love it.discontinued now though. when it dies, lol yeah right, i gonna get a airtronics M8 w/ the new spektrum module. nothing like going to a new feild for some seriouse bashing/racing and find out you gotta wait for your channel to clear. my biggest thing i sold to my wife was one less thing i have to put batteries in oh yeah not to mention that i only have to have one radio for 10 cars/trucks/boats

Thank you for the offer, but I decided to get the futaba and actually just finished placing the order.

Thanks for all of the feedback guys.
