Hi all I converted my KO handset to 2.4ghz using the FrSky module and it works fine, I was just wondering if there is much to be gained by switching to one of the current 2.4ghz handsets like the Sanwa Exzes and are they worth the money? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks

I currently use ko esprit 3 with the ultra response module.....I had a few problems a couple of years ago and decided to buy a cheap 2.4 handset......it was like I changed my Speedo and servo for a cheaper slower version, would imagine the frsky would be in comparison to a cheaper 2.4 set.
A quality handset is well worth the money imo.

I currently use the Core RC controls.... Has lots of features but doesn't have the price tag.
I'm happy with it and I believe there are quite a few that run it at Donny

Thanks for the replies, it seems I'll have to take a further look at the new handsets and buy one :-)

Cheers Scott, I was hoping there would be an improvement in response, you can't expect too much from the Frsky stuff, it is very low priced after all. I guess the best way to find out is to make the change and give it a go :-)

Peter I went from a ko Helios which was no slouch regarding response, to a Sanwa m12. The difference was day and night, the Sanwa is like lightning it is so fast it keep's catching me out,and I have turned it down a lot on the curve. If you can pick a Sanwa z up from Hong Cong you will be-able to save at lest £100. They are dear but you get what you pay for.

I use the KO Espirit 2 with Frsky conversion and does work pretty well to be fair, howver I have used Denes Sanwa X and the response difference is unreal, it definitely has a quicker response and is a good feeling handset.
As someone has already said you get what you pay for, I say buy once make it good and dont buy again for 10 years.

Thanks Paul and Graham, it's good to get comments from someone who has had first hand experience of the new handsets. I really like the Sanwa Z and have had a look at prices both here and from Hong Kong, and like you say Paul, it's possible to save at least £100, I always like to buy from UK suppliers if I can but when it comes down to such a big difference in price then I'd have to buy from Hong Kong. They are a long term investment aren't they so paying that bit more in the first place makes sense in the long run.
