Am I right in assuming that the air and surface DSM2 2.4 hrz. receivers are the same in function? Maybe I better explain what it is I'm looking at. My Grandson is in a wheel chair and is racing rc cars on a indoor track, he needs to use a transmitter with sticks so I fixed up a CX-2 heli radio (2.4) to work like his old 2 ch stick radio. I was looking at the receivers and they say air and surface, that's why I ask the question.
What do you guys think? (i don't want to use the 4in1 out of the heli)

The surface Rxes and Txes) use only 1 channel. Not sure if a surface Rx will bind to a Air Tx.

I would call Spektrum and ask. Heck, tell them what you need and why, and see what they can work up for you.

The air receivers can't be used with ground transmitters and vice versa.

If you want a DSM ground transmitter with sticks you might need to find a stick based module radio and add a Spektrum ground based transmit module.

Ko propo makes a 2.4 stick surface radio.

It's kinda spendy, though.
