Buy a Hitec SRX and a Spektrum system, you will get all the advantages of the DX3, but a MUCH more feature wise radio.

How much of a system do you need? Do you need servos?
Have you gone to the Local Hobby shop and held the radios?

Airtronics just showed the MX3 pure digital 2.4GHz system at the I-Hobby Show (not old analog with a digital rf section) that should do the trick.

I hope it is better then the Airtronics MX-3S I had, as it was a piece of junk. My DX3 has been great and been using it for about 6 months every weekend.

DX3.0 has more features than the SRX and DX3 , timer, throttle deadband, programmable mixing....
