The Spektrum DX3 now comes with a 2nd reciever for the same price of $249.95. It says it's only for a limited time. Ultimatehobbies.com had the DX3 w/ 2 recievers for $209.95 shipped & no sales tax...pretty good deal IMO.

I race 1/8th scale and I try to be as "gentle" with the smaller cars as possible, but u guys gotta understnad that if you dont wanna get run over dont try to race the bigger cars, go wide and let them go. Just cuz u can beat them in one corner doesnt mean ur driving faster than them. countless times on the straight i spun out to avoid hitting some electric or 1/10 scale cuz I tried goin to one side or the other and the slower trucks are just right in the middle of the driving line. I would have to slam on the breaks at that point and just hope the bounce of the wall wasnt too bad. I understand that everyone is entitled to their practice time, but dont complain about getting bumped when ur trying to race the bigger cars/buggies. Half the time i couldnt even see some of the smalller electrics but its not always just the guys with buggies/MT's fault

Biodragen, sorry to hear that your first experience at LHR was not the greatest. I promise you next time you come out it will be a day and night difference for you. Things will calm down and I'm sure some type of rules and regulations will be posted. I don't think LHR anticipated so many newbies at once, witch is what we want, more people to get into the hobby but we must help each other out and we will. If you ever have any kind of problem again just ask any of the LHR people for help and it will get taken care of. I'm also willing to help anyone who was a question or problem just look for the funny looking guy with the curly hair and a Kyosho shirt. I promise you that is the last bad experience you'll ever have at LHR.

Traxxas Thrasher, a Spektrum is not necessary. Everything will be OK with the frequency board from now on.

loco, your probaly right man.... but im still getting a spektrum dx3 whether its before or after my first time at the track..

hey bernie you should look in to maybe letting people rent dx3 at the track.... maybe $10 to rent plus $8 for practice.... if your worried about the expense the money would be paid off fairly quickly if you ask me.

just an idea
