Not goofy at all... Look at all the popular Car radios... feels GREAT in your hand...

This is pretty much the DX8 of surface radios. Accepts software updates via SD card, etc. Has a lot of features most of us will never use, but might find a kool use for...

Yeah nice but what about telemetry with a marine RX that reads LiPo voltage, amps and BL motor RPM?

Get that on the market and I'll buy it.

The problem with doing all that with telemetry is that it's almost impossible to view that stuff realtime, and that's what telemetry does. I agree... I'd LOVE to see that and I've asked for it, so we'll see.

I'm more interested in data logging, which is something that Castle currently has ESCs that can do, and if THAT get's spread to their marine line of ESCs, then we'll be set. I'm really interested in having a data download that I can review.

Now... if they could somehow combine both, like we see in car racing, where the data is transmitted back realtime, AND recorded... BOOM!

Darin isn't that the one that is switchable between a Right hand and left hand TX?

I have the original DX3R and I bought an DX3S for my son and the S just felt cheesy, so I sold it. I'm glad they have a new model cause it's time to pass the R to my son and get a new radio :P

You know, the S feels a LOT better if you buy yourself one of the Dynamite machined aluminum steering wheels for it, and you can get replacemet grips of different sizes as well. It's a good radio, but obviously aimed at the sport market.

Any RX changes on the horizon for the servo issues Darin?

Doug,

I'll follow up on that, but to date, you are the only one I know of who has had any kind of issues with them. I'll get in touch with you offline and maybe give you a call so I can follow up better for you. K???

50 model memory! schwing!

[ron1950]

are there any plans to allow the old dx3r to be made marine compatable?
