My advice is to try some for size first, I found the trigger on the Acoms too small for fat fingers (but not until I'd bought one  ) and also see if they take lipo as this makes them much lighter (as they're held in one hand it make a greater difference IMHO than a stick radio). So if you can pop down the local track and see if people there have them and try holding them. Or see if you can try the same in your local model shop.
After you change you'll never look back  |
@Imull how did you cope with the switch over.
I think I'm getting a little old to be learning again with a wheel

Most people are using 2.4ghz now so it's very unlikely you will get crystal crashes with anyone. If you really want a 2.4 set I'd stick with sticks and get something like a Futaba 3GR.

@mdb I hear you ! not really sure I want to change but the new kit does seem to have some trick bits like telemetry but that's a little over budget
.
hard one is this
