Vario Digger in Cat Yellow

[Lil Giants]

I like the DX18 b/c I prefer to grip the radio with my fingers & operate the sticks with my thumbs. Tray radios, you're using your thumbs & index finger, maybe your middle finger too. And the DX18 has the rotary sliders on the sides of radio that I easily operate with my index fingers vs the tray having sliders that has sliders in the middle that would take thumb & index finger to move.

I'm maxed at 9chs now with Vario with an electric quick coupler & electric power connector on the side of the stick. I have no plans at this time to add any more functions.

The Fumotec Komatsu 490 excavator has the option of 5 valves, so 4th valve will be a quick coupler & 5th maybe a grapple or thumb. But there again, the 9chs will be used with no need for more chs as I don't do lights or sound.
