Default Transmitter FAIL!!!

Was playing around with my B44 at work, and the throttle trigger has snapped clean off on my KO Propo EX-1 Mars R Transmitter I had to repair this before, but its well and truly gone now!!

Anyone know where I can get a part for this, or get it repaired?

If not, what would people recommend as a replacement? I am using a Spektrum Std Module with Spekky receivers at present, which is ace, but will sell my module and original receiver to fund a new handset if need be..

Thanks all.
Mark

I've never liked KO stuff, seen plenty of them fall apart. Would recommend Futaba without a doubt.

Trigger broke on my Futaba 3PK, it's the only trigger that's failed in 25 years
You should be able to get a new trigger, get in contact with the distro (RC Disco) or a decent shop should be able to sort you out - though it'll probably mean you taking the thing apart to replace it which is a pain.
I use the Sanwa M11 myself, it's a big bulky beast but it feels really nice to use. I think RC Disco had some good deals on KO transmitters on their website last time I looked (and some insane deals on KO Servos) so check them out maybe.

You need:

KO-84002 - Throttle Trigger for EX-1 Mars

You can order it from the US but obviously depends how quick you need it :-(
