Hi ya chaps. Where do most source their Spectrum Radios from on here? Exchange rate is getting better this end so may invest while the going is good.
Thinking DX18.....thoughts? Cheers Glenn

If your LHS doesn't carry them, then you might as well deal direct in the USA... www.horizonhobby.com

Use the international store locator to see if you have a retailer nearby. http://www.horizonhobby.com/StoreLocatorView

The 18 is a great option that would be hard to ever out-grow. I use the 10t out of preference but you can't go wrong either way.

I hear a lot about this speckrum radio... Are people using a specific model. I have a old futaba 4 channel stick radio.

I would prefer a radio that had a steering knob and 3 position switch for the transmission...

I might take you up on that.... I was last fully active was this hobby about 10 years ago, and i can see alot has changed. Would like to see what options we have today. Most of the rc car guys I know just use 2 channel and are not fully up to speed with what works best for the semi trucks.
