One thing to remember, after converting all of your RC's to JR rx's, if you ever want to run two of them at the same time, like running with your kids, you will need a second JR radio.
I personally kept my kids car on separate radios so we can race against each other.

No, you need JR synthesized FM rx's for each vehicle. I've read they run around $50 each.
If you are going to race, you see the benefits becuase you get the ability to change freq's at the track without cyrstals for the radio/car. You just turn the dials on the RX and program the TX.

IF you can pick up a decent used Radio w/ 2 RX's, GRAB it... Even if you just start off with the Savage and TC3 on one radio, and the Stampede's all on their own radios.
The regular JR XS3 (Black one) has a 6 model memory, which means you can store settings (Trim, frequency, servo reversing, etc...) for up to 6 cars/trucks. The XS3 Pro (Silver one) has a 10 model memory. If you are going to be doing any racing at all, I would HIGHLY recommend a Decent quality digital Radio. Preferably FM, beacause it has a "cleaner" signal than AM. You could go with a Crystal based radio, but you'll need to get a couple "Back-up" channels, just in case there is a conflict at the track. One of the BIG benefits of a digital radio, is the trim settings are kept in memory. Youi don't have to fine tune your trim each time you start your car. You have kids, I'm sure they like to turn the little dials sometimes....

i got one with 2 rx's in great shape for 130 shipped. Comes with 2 recievers, rechargable batteries with charger, and manual. This radio is definatly a good upgrade. Your response time is so much faster, your range is so much better, and plus you got channels 61-90 to choose from so you will never be sitting out.

And when you install those high torque steering servos, you NEED the end point adjustment you get in the better radios so that servo isn't "grinding" at full steering lock!
You can also use the "extra" model save locations to setup different settings for the same RC. You can have one for fast, open tracks with less steering and another for twisty tracks where you need more steering D/R. It saves changing the settings each time. The no crystal swapping for racers is the big thing!

you can use the XS3 with just about any FM RX. heck for a while I was using my XR3 with a crystaled JR RX on one Rc, a synthesized JR RX ona another, a Novak XXL futabal model on another RC. Then I switched to the Airtornics M8 and still used JR Rx's and stuff with them with no problems. as long as they are all FM RX's and have the correct brand crystals to go with that RX it will be fine.
1:1.. 01 Z28 Camaro A4 Sure.. its stock. 1:8's.. K3, Inferno GT, and a straight line beater car 1:18.. RC18t Mamba and 3s lipo

I think that that if you have a 27mhz FM radio you need a 27mhz FM receiver and vice versa w/75mhz radios.
