Default Cheap radio/receiver

Looking for a good cheap radio for my clod. I basically have two options

First option. Buy a new cheap radio. What’s the best bang for the buck? Any of them have the capabilities of controlling rear steer? If not ill just use a y harness and a basic 2 channel.

Second option pick up another receiver for my old school MX-3. If I go this route does anyone have any suggestions on a receiver to use?

Thanks
Chris

You can get stock 2ch Wheely King radio sets all day on Ebay for about $19.

Flysky Gt3b
Turnigy GTx3 (Same thing)

Its a 3 channel. If you get the hacked version or the hack kit from Losikid, it can become up to a 8 channel receiver. With more options than most know what to do with
Radio, stock, is about $40
Each receiver is $8 for the 3ch
and like $15 for a 8 channel give or take a few bucks.

^ Fly Sky GT3B
or the newer model FS GT3C

I have the latter... non hacked.
does most of what I need stock.

Sadly, the RX that came with the GT3C (GR3E) failed
when more then 6v was run thru it (BEC).

So look for a GT3C that has the newly designed GR3F RX with it.
The re-designed GR3F RX is supposed to handle up to 8v
* ^ valuable if running an HO servo.

Kool thing about Fly Sky offerings...
is that they're compatible with Axial's first run AX series TX/RX
as well with the FS GT3B

I purchased two of the GR3F RX's for my GT3C...
But I'm currently using my original Axial RX
and since it hasn't fried... I've not installed the GR3F FS RX yet.

I personally feel the FS offerings are the cheapest bang for your buck.

If youre really trying to stay cheap I say get a flysky gt-2 from hobbypartz.com My son has been using it for over 3 years with no issues. Great 2.4ghz 2channel for <$20 and additional receivers are <$10
