Most commonly it's only one. Some places can sell it with two, but in those cases the product name/description will say as much.

I've never seen this on their wired receivers oddly enough. So if you're buying more maybe go back to the wire and save some hassle. It's also cheaper so not a bad tradeoff. I personally find the wireless receiver to be worth the effort, however much it may be haha
Yeah, I was considering a RX-471W for a waterproof one. Although the only waterproof ESCs I have are for my 1/16 Traxxas. But I suppose it'd be nice to be able to drive it in winter with my better controller rather than the RTR - can't fit my MX-V's receivers nor the RX-482 in the receiver box. Although I actually should weather seal the servo too (it's an aftermarket one).
Oh and speaking of size, some of the 482's small footprint advantage is negated by the fact that since I move it between cars, it uses velcro to stay on. Which kinda requires a bigger surface area to be secure than the 482 has. Even for the bigger RX-37Es of the MX-V I made the velcro area bigger via a lexan "platform" on which I mounted the receiver, they stay put quite well that way. The 482 as is, not so much!
I found the transponder the hardest connector to get on and remove actually. To remove it I need to use pliers. Although the USB adapter for driving in VRC is also nutty to get on, I even trimmed the connectors quite a bit and still have major trouble connecting! On the RX-37E those work just fine too. Clearly sometimes expensive is not better in every regard...
