Which 2.4ghz module?
 

Caught a few threads on here saying how poor the KO Module is. I've been using my Esprit III for oval for a few months but recently got a B44.1.

Had no problems whatsoever up until my 2nd Buggy meeting when the car was losing signal at the top of the hall. I have had issues also in the buggy where the receiver just doesn't bind and you have to turn the car on and off.

I am guessing from previous threads that the blame lies at the door of the module.

What replacement do you recommend?

Futaba 2.4 FASST system or Sanwa FHSS. These are by far the most popular systems in 12th scale where the slightest issue will make a system glitch - these two are rock solid.

Not cheap you're going to tell me. You get what you pay for I am going to tell you!!! :) The other big advantage of these systems is that they always have a ready market and a good value if/when you want to sell. HTH :)

I have found the RF903-FH module and KR-411FH receivers to be faultless since I moved from the older 2.4 KO system where I experienced some issues, particularly indoors.

If you want to keep the Esprit III it's the only choice imho. The 4 channel rxr's are a bit pricey but the 2 channel ones can be found on ebay for under 40 quid.

The bind is rapid and works every time with no messing, I recommend it highly.

Thanks guys.

another vote for futaba fasst never had problems :thumbsup:and i had original version
before i packed in racing 3years ago

starting racing again first thing bought futaba 3vcs 2.4

Thanks guys appreciated.

As a temporary measure, i currently have a KO 408s receiver in my buggy, but i'm sure i read somewhere a 407s may be better? I have one sitting here, should i stick that in instead?
