almighty15 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 About to go and buy one of these. Which is the better in terms of signal strength and reliability? Not really interested in loads of features ( Just the basics ) just want a reliable system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristian1995 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 both will be just as reliable and should have near enough equal signal strength, but if you just after the basic features get the DX3C, its good and has all the things you will need and more, if you get the 3S i reckon you wont use half the feature and its alot more money than the 3c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I have the dx4s and I really like it. The coloured screen is very nice as its the size of the screen. If it was me I'd the the dx4s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I personally think there both great radios but, if I were in need of one I would buy the most future proof one and also go for a dx4s.... Saying that, that's exactly what I did and still to this day love it, very comfy to hold for long periods of time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyP Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Another vote for the 4s. Really happy with mine, as Gaz says nice and comfy. Comes with 3 different size grips to suit different hand sizes. Backlit screen is a big plus, simple menu layout. Not had any issues with range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norcoforever Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 you all must have money pouring out of your bum holes because we value quality radio gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 A good controller can last years so its worth spending a bit more and getting something good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristian1995 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) No not at all, it just seem that if your "Not really interested in loads of features ( Just the basics )" the DX4S is just overkill, ive owned both units and theyre of high quality and ive no doubt they would last just as long as each other.

almighty15 Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) I needed 2 receivers anyway and got a few extra quid knocked of the S so it wasn't that much more expensive really. Just got to figure out how to use AVC on my Baja without having to take out my fail safe from channel 3.

Madmini Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I needed 2 receivers anyway and got a few extra quid knocked of the S so it wasn't that much more expensive really. Just got to figure out how to use AVC on my Baja without having to take out my fail safe from channel 3. If it's a switchblade then just use an rx with no avc. I never managed to get it to work with avc. The avc rx now lives in my mini revo where it will probably live forevermore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Aye, you shouldn't need AVC on a Baja. AVC really only comes into its own when you need to name a twitchy chassis that cannot be sorted by conventional means. The Baja should be fine without it. AVC is easy enough to disable - just plug a second bind plug into the "disable" socket when binding, and the receiver works like a normal 4-channel.

shdaxner Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I am using the DX4C and It is brilliant....a revelation compared to the GT3C I was using before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I find the DX4C perfect for my usage, it has enough features for me, and for a good price. I don't race, only bash and don't require any more features, batteries seem to last a while in it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
