Default MX-3S or M11 radio system

Looking at upgrading my radio as I am getting an interest in both on and off road. Right now I just have the stock RTR controllers that have come with my Savage X and my RC18B

The two I am looking at are either the

Airtronics MX-3S 3-Channel FM - This is the Airtronics 27MHz or 75MHz Mx-3S Synthesized 3-Channel Computerized FM Pistol Radio System

or the

This is the Airtronics M11 FM Computer Radio System with Module and Receiver. Although I am a bit confused with the freqs avail as I dont kow what the A# stand for Surface: A1, A5, A6, 61, 68, 69, 70, 72, 74, 75, 77, 80, 82, 84, 88, 89 and 90

I will prob have a min of 4 vehicles including the two I already have . I looked at the Sensor but I just can not spend 500.00 bucks on a radio and I also have no interest in getting or replacing my servos to all digital so the F3P is out as well.


Any comments or suggests are greatly appericated , please explain your votes as well. Thanks , I am also restricted to the stock that towerhobbies has on hand as I have a Gift Cert and other discounts. They do not carry the spektrum line

Of those two, I would go for the M11

In my neck of the woods 27mhz is too restricted, when it comes to the number of available channels.(only 6 available for RC)

the MX-3 will do you perfectly fine. it's comparable to my Futaba 3PM, which i've had for about 2 years now, and I still don't know how to use ALL the functions on it

I have the MX-3S and I am very pleased with it. I have heard the M 11 is quite heavy.
