The only difference between the two you posted is the number of servos the tx comes with. The less expensive one only has 1 servo, the other has 2. The radios themselves are exactly the same.
If you plan to race you should chec into an FM synthasized system or one of the specktrum style systems. They will give you much more versility. The JR synth systems can be gotten off e-bay for about the cost your looking at on Tower.

I have read great things about the Nomadio Sensor radio in the past couple of weeks.

Expensive but if you want a nice radio to dump a load of cash on go with this.

Default RE: best radio transmitter for revo.....

thanks all of you guys...i think spektrum dx3 had a bad reviews at amainhobbies http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...reviews_id/167 but one more question, the servos that are included on this kit are really good and ready to race?

Nomadio Sensor radio is quite expensive for me...

thanks again...

The servos should do fine for racing. The Nomadio sensor is WAY over my price range asswell.[]

There is nothing bad about a Sektrum DX3 or DX2 IMO. Both are great radios.

Why would you get a second for racing. You can still use a 3 channel radio in a race ONLY using 2 channels. Save time and money and just buy a good 3 channel radio.

The Jr can handle all your driving. Don't waste money on different radios. If you want to program channel 1 for racing and channel 2 for bashing go for it.......Nothing says you have to use the channels on different trucks. I have two settings for my revo 3.3 on channel 1 and 2 and then I have my tmaxx's and other trucks on different channels........GW

You can get the Sensor for the same $$$ as a Spektrum DX3.
