In the market for a DX3S???

[bull8042]

I wanted to upgrade the radio on my XL so that I could put the HPI 2.4 on my son's Savage X and do away with his AM stuff. So after searching around, I stumbled on a site that has the best price I could find anywhere. Most everyone lists them for $249 and up, but I scored one for $205. They are an authorized seller, so I have no reason to think that they are Chinese counterfeit stuff.

Ampdraw.com

Just thought I would share in case anyone was interested.

That gives me a bit of confidence, thanks. I have never ordered from ampdraw before. And being unable to find a lot of feedback about them, I was a little skeptical about sending them my money. I decided to take the chance and submit my order. I got an email the same evening stating the order had shipped and contained the Fedex tracking number. So, looks like I should have it Monday.
I think I am going to have to spend a little more time on their site to see what other deals I can find.

Just a quick update, the transmitter came today via Fedex. It was well packed and must have went to the shipper the same day. I will definitely be using these folks again in the future.
The Spektrum looks awesome by the way, and can't wait to take it out for a spin.

Be careful ordering from this site. The DX3S and all other Spektrum Products are owned by Horizon Hobby. If these guys are selling the DX3S for $205, they are breaking Horizons rules. The Min. Advertised Price (MAP) on this product is $249.99 which is why all the other retailers sell it for that.
They are quite sneaky because when you look at the item, the price is not listed. You have to ad the item to your cart to see the price.

That was kind of what I suspected, but when I looked at the "Store Locator" section on Spektrum's site and saw Ampdraw listed, I figured it was safe to order from them. A legal catch, sneaky advertising, or whatever. I took advantage of it while I could. I was merely offering the info so any others who wanted to save a buck could have the same opportunity. I am not personally endorsing the site for anything other than the fact that I saved $45 on this transmitter.
