    In this video I review the Futaba 3PV / T3PV surface transmitter. Check out my thoughts on this radio, and how it compares to other radios in its class.

    I really like my Futaba 3PRKA.... Simple yes, but for a basic Radio that has 3 Channels, there's really NO comparison - for $55.00!!! *That* is a basic starter Radio for Hobbiests and Bashers.
    For the SMALLER Price Point, the 3PRKA has a FAR better Receiver, Transmitter, Range and reliability, than ANY Radio that came with your RTR!! (And most of those are only 2 Channel anyway)
    I DO AGREE with you though about the 3PV. If you have more than 2 Rigs, if you need more adjustability parameters, if you're starting out in Semi-Pro Racing - THIS is the Radio for you!!
    Also, when I hook up my Wraith with 4-wheel Steering, I'm going to HAVE to step up to the 3PV.
    ...... also, I've got Big Hands..... This should be a good fit for me!! 😎😜

    I'm a bit disappointed when I compared my rc4gs to the 3pv settings and found the 3pv lacking. Kinda surprising seeing that the 3pv costs 2x the rc4gs. I found out while comparing the settings in the 4pm and 3pv and saw the rc4gs had all that the 4pm has and what the 3pv doesn't. Wondering if I paid for name 🤷‍♂️. I had issues with my rc4gs and hoping the communication issues are gone with the futaba, just a bit miffed to see the cheaper radiolink has more adjustability than the futaba 3pv.

    FYI
    I used to us Futaba only! Then I started having problems with the
    radios and had to start dealing with there warranty and service
    department. Warranty wasn't to bad but they will shaft you given a
    chance!
    The worst radio was a 6 channel air radio and while I was
    flying it :the radio" went backwards and of course the result was my
    first totaled plane! Well I really didn't realize what happened and I
    wrote it off as a fluke, the second time and second plain the same thing
    happened about two weeks latter and before I figured out the radio went
    backwards the plane was ANOTHER TOTAL! OH, after the first TOTAL I sent
    radio into service and they updated firmware and checked it out and
    said EVERYTHING was PERFECT. OK Second TOTAL I sent it in again and they
    said it was PERFECT again, I also sent in RX too just to make sure
    everything was OK. They told me I was CRAZY and NOTHING was wrong with
    ther radios. OK i got everything installed again in another plane and in
    flight it happened again but this time I didn't total the plane just
    wasted the fuselage! I started testing the radio and got it to do it
    again out of plane. I sent it in again and they argued with me and even
    got nasty with me cause they got but hurt,so I said I wanted my money
    back and they told me to jump in a lake that they will not do ANYTHING!
    They got mad at me for being upset at three wrecked planes and about two
    months of wasted flying time let alone the $200 I wasted buying there
    JUNK radio.
    OH, and to top it off they ended up admitting finally
    about 4years later they had a problem with that model! But at the time
    the fought everyone tooth and nail so they wouldn't have to pay out
    millions on a BAD DESIGN!!! Now that's customer service with a smile,
    the hole time there putting the meat to you. GOOD LUCK as I have never
    ever had a problem using any other radio brand ONLY FUTABA!

    New to the hobby and looking to pick up a radio. Right now I am tossing up the Graupner so I could use their ESC with telemetry and this radio. What is the basic needs when racing? Is it just battery voltage or is temps, rpm ect needed? I plan on getting my feet wet in the 1/10 buggy indoor. Great video and thanks for the review.

      Thank you.... the only thing I really want is to be able to keep an eye on my main pack to keep it healthy. Everything else I was not sure of. It seem that this radio will do the deed for less than 200 dollars which includes the voltage telemetry for the main pack as they are not cheap. Thank you for an awesome review.

    Question, in this review you said around $109/129 based on rx choice. Sooo why in 2020 does this same radio now retail for $170??? This review was 3yrs ago. Do electronics appreciate in price and not depreciate?

    Does the auto off really work as stated? I was testing mine to see and all it did was constantly beep and nothing but beeps. 🤷‍♂️. A buddy tested the auto off on his 7px and it took 15mins to go off. 10 to start the process, constant beeps as well and 5mins later it shut off. I tested my 3pv and it did same, alarm at 10min mark and then auto off 5 mins later. So a ttl of 15mins from inactivity to auto off.

You said that the rx are listening for the radio so if another driver with the same radio is next to me and turn on their radio and car and I turn on my radio will his car's rx then pair to my radio?

      it won't pair (bind) unless you press the bind button on the receiver, so you won't have any problems.
