Default Sanwa Gemini X

Does anybody have one?

Looking at buying a new transmitter, can't justify £400 on one but the Gemini x seems to be good on paper.

If you have one, what are your thoughts about it?

Love it, I have been running mine since xmas and it's brilliant for the price you pay. Has most of the adjustments as the £400 one. It is very responsive, I went from one of the Code ones and mad me a lap a race quicker.

I definitely recommend this!

great transmitter, all the adjustments and more you will ever need and runs the same high response system as the ecxes x so incredibly fast and precise. Get an LRP lipo receiver pack in it and it will last for weeks between charges too.

I have always had top line radios but when I decided to go to Sanwa I found the Exces too uncomfortable in my hands. Jamie suggested the Gemini and I'm so glad he did.
Fits me perfectly, not even considered missing a beat and it does everything I wanted.
Add to that the service from the SMD guys that you'll almost certainly never need and you can't go wrong!

Until Orion do a stick radio I'll keep this bad boy.

I have one of these.
Can't fault it its great. I've considered a lipo pack for it but doesn't seem to need one so far. Only 4 aa batteries in it and they are still going strong.

I couldn't find any online reviews of it before I bought it but glad I went for it.
People seem to go for the £70 ish core ones or 2nd hand futabas.

This ones a brand new up to date sanwa for just over £150 which has the same system as the new £400 2.4 exces and all the functions you need.

If your a strict stick only racer then well worth considering.

I used one of my friends on my old buggy and the response is great
Now I've bought my son one and his lap times have dropped by a few seconds
With no change to his car only the radio ,
So +1 for the Gemini x
