Used?...yes.

Better, get a NEW hacked GT3B or GT3C. Then you can step up to dual ESC's which is a LOT better.

You get a low price for the set-up, cheap (~$9 ea) RX's, lots of support here. You also get up to 8 channels.

If you have multiple rigs, the hacked GT3B/C is nice in that is has a multi model memory. You pick a rig, turn on the TX, pick the model you will be running, then turn on the rig.
No tweaking of settings.

Hacked by LosiKid of www.OverkillRC.com.

It has a different firmware that changes it from 3 channels to 8 with lots of other options.

OverkillRC has a few adaptors that allow some 3 channel radios to work a dig unit.
You can also look to HeyOK as he has a broader selection.

Unless you have a lot of money tied up in the TX & RX's, I would really look to the hacked GT3B or GT3C. It's under $100 to buy a TX & RX, new RX's are ~$6-10 depending on the # of channels you need.
So, a simple rig can use a 3 or 4 channel RX and a more complex rig may need a 6 or 8 channel RX.
Just use a different model memory for each rig.

For ~$70, you get a hacked GT3B & a RX, I believe you get to pick how many channels on the RX.

Tell LosiKid that, "Charlie-III sent you".
