    So my buddy talked me into getting the t4.1 instead of the everything else. Anyone have any coupon codes for tower hobbies or other places?

    No codes, but a T4.1 is an awesome stadium truck model. However, it's designed more for a track than backyard bashing.

    I'm sure you know, but make sure your radios are at least DSM2. The micro Orange rx will not bind to DSM tx.

    Thanks for the heads up, iv been all through them, i got 12 in my cars and a few boats, they work awesome really, cannot tell a difference between them and a $50 sr300.

    Thinking about ditching my dx3s and dx3r for a newer dx4s.

    Yeah, I've used them as well, for surface and aircraft. I swapped (actually downgraded) Tx back to a DX3s from a "R". That's when I found out, also "some" DX3s will work, just not the earlier ones were not DSM2, later ones are. So you may be good. Yeah, that 4 looks sexy don't it?

    Yeah im partial to the blacked out stuff :eek:

    My main reason for wanting it is, its big enough to hold all my r/c's, it supports marine and all previous models, and it has that extra channel i can use on my crawlers for winches etc.

    I know i can almost make the money back by selling my dx3s and the dx3r, just havnt said screw it and ordered it yet, haha.
