    Curious about this too. I'd like to switch to this rugged radio from my Futaba, but the cost of additional receivers is holding me back entirely. The cheapest Futaba air receiver with telemetry is $30 (works for surface models too).

    I don't know, I only have spektrum receivers. It sucks how expensive they are, so let me know if you find a cheaper alternative.

    That’s my thing. Futaba is awesome and they actually sell affordable receivers. Just don’t want to mess it up.

    I put some of those rubber bands ie livestrong around the handle and added a lanyard to my futaba... I have been on the fence about getting a new one since I still have a 4pl. The 4pv didn't have a long life and the 4pm seems very similar to it... Not sure

    I’ll let you know. I just don’t need a $80 6 channel for all my trucks. Lol

    Are you getting long life out of your 4pl? Mine dies quickly.

    I have a life battery that seems not too bad. I also run rechargeable AA so never noticed much

    If my 3PV had 3-way switch on the third channel, I wouldn't even consider getting something else. There are work-arounds for running a winch on a two way switch, but I'd rather not. (But I haven't even gotten a winch yet anyway.)

    What’s the 3rd channel on the 3pv?

    Edit: I see. It’s a 2 position switch?

    Merry Christmas!

    Anyone here own an Axial SCX24? Thinking of picking one up and want to see how others like it for some indoor crawling....

    I run one at the LHS when there’s no customers to talk to. It’s a cool little truck but top heavy for its size.

    Correct. It's only an "On-Off" switch. Which before the advent of winch servos was probably more than adequate. One could run a snowplow servo with this switch easily (up-down).

    My Element Enduro RTR's radio for instance has a 3 position 3rd channel switch, i.e. "Forward-Neutral-Reverse". More desirable for running a winch servo.
