In all seriousness, I think the most important point is feel of the handset when your using it. I tried all sorts when i came back racing, none fitted my hands as well as the old Gemini 2, which is the main reason why im still using it. Some felt too 'sharp' in the hands, others had the sticks to far away for comfort, others felt too 'cheap & plasticy '...

Best bit of advice - try each one before you buy a radio, preferably a full clubnight if you can wrangle it. Nothing worse than spending hundreds of quid on a top notch TX then cant get used to it in the hands.

I must be the odd one out, I never need to get a feel for a handset, Probably has something to do with pikey racing and having lend so many cars off people and there handsets that its now the norm to just grab a handset and drive the car.

Thank you guys for all your help here.

If CML can't sort the set for me, I'll be placing and order with Paul for a UK bassed Sanwa exzes-X

I think I will keep all my 'Oopleing' to the Caldicot section from now on.

rob, if your stuck for a radio for friday racing i can lend you a 40meg ko tranny/receiver and crystal (but you`ll need your own batteries)

That's a FANTASTIC offer Brian, thank you

I've heard lots about how bad the Etronics set is, so to be honest, I don't think I'll be fitting it back in when I get it back from CML (unless they give me a new one)

So I would like to take you up on your kind offer until the Sanwa come's in if that's OK with you. I'll not be racing this Friday, but will be there next week.

Thanks again

no probs, let me know whether your sorted next week.if you need a lend i`ll bring it next friday.
cheers
