I am ok with the stock junker radio that came with my Redcat, but when i use to race RC I always used high end radios. I was a Futaba fan and also liked the Airtronics line as well. But When I was getting out of the hobby it seemed that the radios got way out of control. I think some of them even come with a coffee maker! I think the last radio I had was a Airtronics M8 and a Futaba 3PJ but both these got really hard to understand all the options.
