So besides the DX2S coming with a servo, having 5 less model memory and 1 less channel is there any thing else that is a big deal ??

Thanks

If you have the same linkage setup on both trucks, you won't need more than 1 model memory (assuming that they are both savages)

Other than that I know nothing.

What do you mean by linkages ??
Like if one savvy had the SR300 rx and the other savvy had the SR300 would one tx be able to connect to both ??

by linkages, I mean the actual links that the servo's push. If all the linkages measure up the same, you will only have to re-bind each time you want to switch trucks.

That didn't come out right.

If all the linkages on each truck match up, you will only have to re-bind each time you want to switch trucks

When you change to this type radio do you need to also get digital servos? Will stock analog servos work with it? Thanks for your time.

dx2s should be fine, unless you have more than 5 trucks you wont need to worry about the linkages. I don't have a dx3s and don't know the differences, but my dx2s works great and does the job

i got the dx3s new of ebay, it won't stay connect for more then 2 min without losing connection. tried everything to fix it but nothing has worked so far and now i'm talking to horizon hobby.
