Anyone got any feedback on the new KO radio?

Very happy with mine.

The case is the same so always seems a bit low tech compare to a Sanwa but :

- No need to put an antenna tube (I had to use one on my Exzes Z)
- Just enough dials and knobs (only one EPA dial and one button besides the 4 trims), simpler but I like it
- Easy to access menu, less complicated than the Sanwa for sure but I don't miss anything.
- option for stick height (standard or short)
- No module/antenna on the back, that's very nice when you have owned an Esprit 3
- Antenna could be unscrewed and place on the battery box, nice
- bigger battery tray, I was able to use a 2500mah receiver lipo.

And among all others good things about this transmitter the best is the weight, so light with a lipo you don't feel such weight while driving, that point alone makes me feel good about selling the Sanwa.

Cheers mate. Food for thought.
