#1 Futaba 3PV 3-Channel 2.4GHz FHSS/S-FHSS Radio System w/R203GF Receiver
Most importing features
- One of the largest, easiest-to-use, programable screens at this price point – digital screens make life easier for your never guessing what your settings are on.
- Four-wheel steering / Brake Mixing – in short, you can run two servos on your rock crawler adding rear steering.
- It has up to 10-model memory so you can dial in your car for each track, course, and terrain you plan to run on or run multiple cars without adjusting each time.
- Throttle Fail Safe – this is really good to have on a nitro car – if you lose signal (from the radio) it goes to a neutral setting so your car is less likely to run away.
- Auto Power-Off – this radio cut off after 10 min, when not in use – there so many times this feature could have saved me a pack of batteries and money.
