I voted for the 3PM SS i have it and it is without a doubt the best bang for the buck, you can get them for $150-$160 at tower bobbies.

it has everything you will need and then some, even has 3rd channel mixing for you.

plus i have it witha a couple of RX's, i can turn on all my cars and the only one that will move is dependant on the model # that i have the remote selected on.

its a great radio and the weight is balanced pretty good very easy to operate and fairly light

also the 2.4ghz is really fast, you wont need digital servos, just changing the radio on my cars quickened up the response time by a good amount, i actually had to slow the sterring servo down because it was too responsive
