Get it from hobbypartz.com $19.70 SHIPPED currently(in the USA), way cheaper than ordering from Australia 
Also comes in 3 colors

I have one and its a pretty good radio IMO
Blows all the AM RTR radios away that I've had.
Its the only radio I have that will work with a Castle MM
I also own 2 of their multi model memory radios(the GT3, and GT3b), and like them alot.

RE: Lower End Radio?

RE: Lower End Radio?
one thing you shouldn't worry about with that radio is range
I use it on my BL 1/8th truggy that sucker can clear a city block(about 1/8th of a mile in chicago) and still is in range. After that I can't tell what way is forward or backwards and turn it around, but it could still go farther

i have 2 of those radios, with 3 recievers for each of them.
they are the same 2.4ghz radios that redcat uses with their models.
they are simple, glitch free and you wont have any range issues.

The older GT3 has a few more settings you can change that were removed from the 3b, and longer names were allowed. I like the physical layout of the 3b way more though [sm=71_71.gif] the naming convention is my biggest gripe 3 letters and a number on that giant LCD... vs the originals 8 letters or numbers
Can't complain about its performance though thats great.
And yea I love the argument against them (from people who don't own one) which basically boils down to they are junk cause they don't cost over $100 like futabas...
