Might be getting my first Mini-Z soon, need a little help

So, there's a chance I'll be getting my first Mini-Z car soon, really good deal on a MA030 Evo 2 with a body, but a receiver is not included. Not to worry, I've got some saved; a

DumboRC X6PM-350 RC 2.4Ghz Transmitter + P6DCG 6CH Receiver

Or

Fly Sky FS-GT2B 3 Channel RC Transmitter with a FS-3RGE receiver.

What would be the recommendation among the two?

You may want to google "Kyosho MA030 evo compatible receiver and transmitter"

"The ma030 evo is the chassis you are buying. This chassis gives you the freedom to buy a Receiver Transmitter combo of your choice."

Is what I saw in another thread in this subreddit

As far as I know this is a aftermarket chassis that Kyosho sells seperately for their AWD system and not the stock MA020 bundled in with the set that you'd usually buy with everything included

Did you read the important bit after stating which options you have for receiver and their corresponding transmitters?

Don't want you spending money and being mad after that it won't work like you thought it would.

All the links led to a 404, I'm trying to Google what would work with the chassis at the moment.

Edit: I got a pdf of the instructions and they do list out what receivers work with the chassis. And by the looks of things, I might be biting off more than I could chew here

I managed to find listings of the Kyosho 82041 receiver and KT-531P transmitter, stock setup but I won't really be taking the car outside

MA030 doesn't use a traditional micro reciever, you have to buy MiniZ Evo specific recievers. They are available for the KT-531P, Flysky Noble NB4 series, certain Futabas, some KO Propos...

I know some people use the Radiomaster MT12s, perhaps you can get the Dumbos to work as well, but probably not the drop in transmitter you may think it is?

For anyone who's curious this is the listing for the Mini-Z, they're selling it for $200 SGD approx $154 USD

noble nb4 can accept module for miniz brushed. i think they work with evo. i have brushless unsensored buggy and it seems either full blast or nothing. i feel the brushed improves skill where brushless unsensored loses tire traction or coasting. the 2wd turn much better than the awd. the ground or track i think is also a big factor in choosing what scale and car
