Default Multiple receivers - One transmitter

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can suggest a transmitter that can handle multiple receivers.
Budget minded!

RadioLink RC3S can be had at the $40 range. Extra receivers for it are like $14. I used to recommend FlySky FS-GT3C radios, but when one I had one newer GT3C fail within a very short about of time, I went to RadioLink. The feel between the two is quite different. I'd give the overall quality ranking to the RC3S. If having a gyro is a must for you, then RadioLink has you covered as well with the RC4G and RC4GS.

Next step up in quality would be to go with Futaba 3PV, or Sanwa MX-V

There's a lot of inexpensive transmitters out there and most of them are cheaply made with zero support from the manufacturer or distributor . When they break you throw them away.

Here are a few from Horizon. May be a bit higher priced but if/when you have problems you will get support.
This Spektrum transmitter holds 20 models

This Traxxas transmitter needs a smartphone to connect to and you can store multiple models in your phone:

Hi RustyUS, I actually already purchased the Radiolink RC3S by way of your suggestion from my other post. I didn't know it could pair multiple receivers! You mentioned receivers for $14... Can you provide a link please? Curious though, why is there no documentation for this feature? It's seems it would be a huge selling point wouldn't you think?

Hi Flyinwalenda, Good point about the receivers regarding quality vs. disposable. I'm hoping RustyUS will give me a link to something that's middle ground. As far as Traxxas is concerned, I will never buy another product from them again.

+1 for Radiolink, great system for the price... you can get Rx's here for around $10 shipped:
https://www.banggood.com/Radiolink-F...p-1174392.html

The manual explains all the features available, I would encourage you to read it from cover to cover:

Hi Bill, Awesome info!!!! Thanks for the PDF, it's a little different than the one I downloaded, so as suggested, I will read it cover to cover! Unfortunately, Banggood currently has no stock on this item, so I'll venture elsewhere to purchase it. I'll pay a little more, but I'll have it in a timely manner. I hate shopping from China!!! URGH! I should have it by next week, so I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks for all your help! Really appreciate it!

You could bind as many receivers, to the RC3S, as you want. 5, 10, or 1000. But you can only set/save 10 different RC model memories in the transmitter.

The Bangood price is great. If needing a receiver quicker, it will cost $15.99. I get them from RCJuice on eBay. I say eBay because if you go to RCJuice website, they will charge you $18.98 for the same item...weird.
