Remember, a new car is for Christmas, a Futaba 3VCS is for life. The KO is nice but I would be worried about scratching it, and silver is sooo 2008...

The KO is not that bad and I prefer its styling and feel over the Futabas. It is also the right size for me. I managed to get mine at a very good price (£250)

Cost of recievers for the KOs (amonst the smallest on the market which is a big plus point) are now far more reasonable. You could get the 407S for just £70 (which was a 4 channel version of the 408S which was expensive at £120) , but there is also a 2 channel 210S for £40 now.

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