well after searching it looks like the 603ff rxs are 75-90 bucks each.
now im not sure about the radio unless i hear it is realy good.
im just not sure about the fsgt3b maybe ill have to give it a chance.
would like to race some day thats why i was thinking the futaba would be better.
maybe ill have to by both.

Yep, you found the downfall of the radio. RX are expensive. If you have 10 cars...ouch :shock: .

Haven't heard anything bad about that radio at all performancewise though so its up in the air wether its right for you or not.

Its a great radio.

BUT.......I sold mine with 3 receivers for $250 and bought a GT3B with 4 receivers and a lipo battery and still had a $100 in my pocket.

Loke Todd said if you have 1 or 2 cars go for it but if you have more than that find something with cheaper receivers.
