I have 9 RC cars, a plane, and a boat, so I know quite a bit about it. I just hadn't seen a 4 ch surface stick type radio before, now I have. Anyway, most of my radios are basic two channel units made by Airtronics (Sanwa) and they have never given me any problems. I also have a Hitec Lynx and it is alright, never gave any problems just don't like it as much. I have a JR XR3 computer radio that I use in my gas cars and it was defective from the factory. It took a long time for the repairs. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe I had to send it in one additional time. Also, the battery holder broke. My JR computer radio for my plane has been great with no problems. I have a couple Traxxas systems and the receivers are large by today's standards (so is the basic Hitec) and VERY sensitive to moisture. The transmitters have no indicaion of battery level. Other than that, they have been overall good though.

I haven't has any experience with Futaba but maybe that will change soon. All of the new Tower Hobbies (and Duratrax) radios are made by Futaba. HPI equipment is made by Airtronics.
