And is the difference of the M11 and the M11X worth the price?
Thanks,

I love my KO, I think the eurus would be a good choice, I have the Helios and find it pretty easy to navigate, and for my large hands it fits very well. The M11 is nice but a little confusing to navigate. I can''t stand the DX3R, I think it just gives the cars a weird feeling, and I have talked to many people that feel the same way, plus many others that have had problems with the system losing it's bind.

Thanks for the information Red. Is the Ko similar to the JR Z-1, because I like how the Z-1 feels..

The Helios is the exact same as the Z-1, just the labeling is different. The new Eurus appears to me extremely close to the Helios, I don't think they changed the grip at all, just the screen and trigger.

Best info is to go to a Rc shop pick up each radio and see what feels best in your hands. A radio can have all the tinker toys with it but if it doesnt feel right in your hands then you just wasted your money.

I have a DX3R and it is a great feeling light easy to use unit.... BUT i do notice i get signal lag when my bug/trug is at the other end of my track (approx 35-50 yards away).
Now if your bashing it wouldn't even be noticable but when racing and you want the assurance that your vehicles gonna do what you want when you want then i would go for the M11X as it is seriously responsive and IMO a very nice feeling radio. i know some people had issues with the M11 spektrum modules on the older radios but i have two mates with the M11X's and they are very happy.
and NitroRc's the DX3R lag issues wouldn't happen on your track as its 1/2 the size of l.r.r.c.c.com and is a perfect unit for you mate :rock:

yah Mike.....
But other guys have said that the lag is hardly noticable on LRRCC. I think u would get some lag with any radio anyways, but yeah man, your choice..
