There are a lot of inexpensive options to choose from
A lot of the Hobbyking/Turnigy Radios are cheap and should work good enough to bash around

A name brand radio that falls within your $100 would be the Sanwa, it has a waterproof receiver too so your uncle can crawl through deep water as well

dx4c 99$ comes with two receivers! this question has been asked a couple times recently though. do a search for your question you should see it. But yea i only use spektrum tx and rx and they have never failed me and do everything i ask of it! plus the 4c and extra channel never hurt anybody... the 3c is also 99$ which is weird.

I use a hacked FlySky that I bought new about three years ago. I have not had a problem with it. The receivers seem to be a little fragile so pad them or have an extra on hand in case of a really hard hit.
If I had it to do over again, I would probably go with the Mx-V though.

I got mine for the sole purpose of mixing two ESC's for my MOA crawler. Then it turned into using it for my scaler's transmission shifting, and winch.
