Default 2.4 Stick set - KO Esprit III or RC-Code

Looking to get a new 2.4 set to upgrade from my KO Type R. I fancied upgrading the KO to 2.4 but it's quite expensive to do all considered.

Is the RC-Code set any good for £84 notes ? What will I miss out on ?

The main things I like on my current KO set are the two top dials for steering travel and amount of brake as it's super easy to change. A also like the steering and throttle curves. The RC-Code set looks like it doesn't have anything as simple as this ?

Also, anyone who has an RC-Code, how do they feel compared with the KO set.

Cheers.

It feels very china, but it works and is easy to use.
It probably won't last for 10years like KO's do.

The diffrence between a cheap tranny and an exspensive one is miles apart.. Get the KO....

I spoke to a bloke last weekend at the oOple Invernational, and he had sold his KO because he thought the Core RC one felt better.

KO, is very expensive and feels cheap, the Code is cheap and feels cheap, they both do the same thing.... and both of reasonable quality, go figure!!

If you were going to spend that much on a KO system, I would suggest the Futaba.... far FAR better

It's whats inside that matters I changed from my sanwa gemini 2 to my KO and you can feel a massive diffrence, Everyone ive seen change from a cheap radio at our club to a more expensive one there driving improves masively. IMO its down to the KO or the futaba. I chose my KO because i dont find the futaba comfirtable ive got reasonably big hands and the futaba feels IMO like im holding a breeze block.

I thought you could just buy a conversion for your current ko and would be cheaper than buying new.
