Lots of people love their FlySky rigs…

I have the Radiolink RC6GS which is the 6channle version of the RC4GS. I also have the older RC4G (the very first version) and I still use it on my son's Manta Ray. 

So far it has served me well for what I use it for. I am not a racer and just use it for casual bashing. I really like the features, and for the price, you actually get a lot. The only thing that maybe isn't too appealing is the form factor/design. It looks outdated compared to newer radio gear, but it still feels comfortable on my hand. If there's anything I want, it is for it to have a setting specific for crawling like a crab steer.

Who will be the main user of the pistol type?

@burakolthanks for the reply. Really good to hear from an actual owner. Do you use the gyro feature of the RX? If yes, is it good? Also, do you use R4F RX? This is the RX I am most interested in, it seems really tiny. 

I do have both gyro and non-gryo Rx. You are correct, the R4F is tiny since it is not enclosed in a case (wrapped in plastic). So if you are planning on putting it in something that might get wet, it will not be ideal; unless you want to fabircate your own enclosure. The R4F also does not have gyro. The Rx's that have Gyro for Radiolink is the one with the "G" on their recievers (R7FG, R6FG, R4FG)... 

I have 3 Rx with the gyro feature and honestly, I don't use them at all... Gyro is really useful for Drifting, which I don't have a proper car for... Some aybe uses it for racing, but again, I don't race... 

If you are looking for a pistol tyle radio gear for your kid, you may want to look into  the Turbo Racing 91803G

They sell it all over online shops and I have two of those for my kids. I got mine from a chinese online shop. What I like about it is the size and the ability to adjust EPA and D/R to tame the RC when my kids are using it...

Would be my suggestion too when looking for a transmitter for your kid (Carson Reflex Wheel Start = the same). But knowing now you are looking for a transmitter for yourself I am out of suggestions .

2. Absima CR3P - Cheap to buy and I heard that cheap Flysky Rx can be used. If original Rx, don't seem to have much options (see below)

 

It is basically a re-brand of Flysky's Fs-It4s model. Google it and you can see it is exactly the same thing, aside from a sightly different plastic shell.

If I remember correctly, Flysky's 2.4G technology is DSSS, which is worse than Radiolink's FHSS. (For DSSS vs FHSS, I'm no science expert but internet information says the latter is more stable. Futaba and Sanwa nowadays also use FHSS.)

My personal experience with Flysky's lower end models is that they are generally a bit less responsive when a lot of cars are running. It's dangerous enough to cause accidents and damage a beautiful bodyshell.

Radiolink doesn't have the same problem.

As Bavee mentioned, I would recommend the Carson Reflex Start Wheel for your little girl. It is tiny compared to a normal pistol grip, perfect for little hands.

Then get yourself a new pistol grip too! I was very sceptical about pistol grips upon returning to the RC told recently, but plumped for one anyway over the old sticks I used decades ago and within a few outings I am already totally in tune with it. I only went for a basic Etronix, but it seems very good in my limited experience.

I’ve got a hacked Flysky GT3C. It’ll likely be the same as the Absima. The 3ch receivers are nice and small which I’d bet suites your smaller cars. I’ve got a few 6ch and an 8ch receiver which are handy for my 4ws monster trucks with lights.
 

It’s definitely a good price vs feature set and not bad even when it’s not hacked and the Rx are super cheap(£6). It’s got 10 model memory before being hacked and something like 64 afterwards.

It’s the FS-GRE3 receiver, a random eBay listing tells me it’s 37.6 x 22.3 x 13mm. I can double check the size tomorrow. 
 

just checked now and yeah that’s right enough.
