Default FRsky, Orangrc or ? FF3 3VC module and rx?

I'm after a cheap 2.4 module and multiple tx's for my vintage cars, but I'm not sure which system to go for?

What are they like?
Which has the cheapest/smallest receivers?

Thanks,

G

IMO ya cannot go wrong with Orange. Receivers are small, not the smallest but near, and dirt cheap.

I'm running them with my spektrum system, and no problems at all.

Frsky are good too, but those air style rx don't look so tough.

Had hit and miss with the FrSky stuff. OrangeRX receivers are DSM2 and am currently trying to find out if the Futaba Module works with the 3VC!

My Frsky stuff has never missed a beat. I've converted an Esprit 3, receivers are £13, and with a slight pin bending modification can be 30mm x 19mm area, whic i find fits well in all cars.

I've run frsky for a year or two now. The old receivers used to be smaller by a few mm's.
The only problem I had was when the aerial snapped off a receiver. Now I just tuck the aerial back in the case. With the receivers only being £13 it's not a big deal.
