If you plan to go to a Spektrum system in the future I'd stay away from the LRP. Their BECs tend to be a tad too weak for the Spectrum recievers and many people have had problems with that. Also with my QC2 the metal contacts on the PC board where the wires solder in eventually delaminated from the board. With the QC3 built the same way I imagine that would happen on that one too. The Novak I believe has the smallest foot print but also the largest capacitor so overall the GTX and FX end up taking up about the same amount of space. I really like my Tekin FX but you have to get used to adjusting push or anti-drag on the ESC and not on the radio. Many people will bump up the throttle trim to adjust this but the FX will not let you do that. Also if you plan to go to BL before going to mod brushed then save yourself a bit of cash and get the regular FX not the Pro...unless you are running hot mods you'll have no need of the Pro.
To be completely honest, I understand very little of that (I'm really not that electronic-savvy, but I would like to learn).
