I don't doubt it does a reasonable job, but I like to run most of my rigs on my GT3C, to do this with the Vorteks I need to put an esc in as well. And even if I didn't change anything out, if the esc or rx side of the 2in1 goes out, I'm effectively replacing 2 parts as opposed to one. And I doubt a new 2in1 is going to be cheaper than a stand alone arrma 3s esc or rx? I understand it on minis and micros and general budget RC's, where space is at a premium and margins often very thin. I have one on my little HBX 1/16, and it works well in that car, but on hobby grade 1/10 I just think its a bit of a cop out.
