Default Replacement for KO propo Universe 3 ?

Are there any reliable rumours of a replacement radio for the ko universe 3 ?

Was disappointed when their newest design was that stick/wheel combo unit. I don't know of anyone who uses one !? .

I gave up looking! But you never know... send them an email and express your interest.

I've actually been really happy with my Esprit 3 since getting the later KO 2.4 module/Rx. So I'm not really looking to upgrade, a little concerned about long term reliability, but there still seems to be plenty around for spares.

Is the Sanwa Gold plated? The price seem's to reflect this.

I don't think the Sanwa is much different in price to Universe when it was released - and the Sanwa is dedicated 2.4...

Personally I am also using the new FHSS module and receivers with my Universe and it has been faultless every time with a very fast bind even indoors (where the old module struggled for me).

I think the Sanwa with the bonus receiver deal when it is around (was last week) is great, and if I had to buy a new radio it would probably be that one - but I do prefer the dimensions in hand of the KO

I'm hope i'm wrong but I really doubt we'll see a new stick radio from KO, the market just isn't big enough for them

I hope your wrong Adam ......... but I too doubt it.

Sanwa is like holding a breeze block with scafold poles for sticks compared to the KO

Read into this what you wish !

Richard,

KO Japan will not let us release information on any new products until they are ready to talk about it.

This is all that I can comment at this time.

Regards,

Robert Morris
