Default Budget radio

I was looking at the Airtronics MX-Sport 2.4 and was wondering if this radio would be ok for a cralwer? It says its a 3 channel radio so I should be able to use if for a future Losi Comp Crawler w/dig, right?
Sorry for the dumb question, still learning.

I've never used the Airtronics one but I have the Ko-Propo ex that I picked up at RPP hobby, a vendor here. It has a 5 postion third channel, so the future Losi would be no problem, comes with a second Rx, and is 2.4ghz. All this for $189, not to shabby.

I don't think the mc sport radio has a 3 position 3rd channel
switch. I would get the futaba 3pmx or the ko 5ur. The first
has a fold Down antennae and set up for rechargible batt.
The ko has 2 receivers. I've been racking my brain trying
to figure out which o e I want. Meanwhile I am solder a
3 position switch with EPA pots to my old tq3. Search
fritobandito tq3 to find the tread on this.
