Hi Jack, welcome to the forum. I have no experience with that particular setup but I will say that a DX5e isn't that much more expensive than that depending on where you get it, and with the availability of cheap (as low as £7) compatible receivers you can get a decent setup fairly cheaply now.

Save and then spend the money to get a decent set first time. You will not be disappointed. I also wouldn't buy from a model shop as they will invariably be more expensive than the net (yes it's a sad fact of our times but that's life)

so would be cheaper to get radio transmitters online on website e.g ebay, technobot etc?

Ebay or Alibaba, you can find rockbottom prices, and even lower than that on the internet.
But be aware of the hidden costs. P&P and/or customs spring to mind. Also, you get what you pay for.

its worth checking at modle shop as we got a dx5 for £45 without the rx

what i'm doing at the moment is i'm building a wooden construction first before buying parts as I want to see how the weaponry will look, how to make a simple interchangeable weapon system. then I will buy other parts to make the prototype to work before the final stage. i'll let you know how i'm getting on soon.
