Default Which 2.4Ghz Wheel Radio and TX

Looking at replacing my KO Propo EX-5 (which I really like) with a modern piece of kit. Any recommendations? I was looking at the EX-10, but thought I'd ask around for other recommendations.

Default wheel tx

I use both a futaba 3pks and also more recently a spektrum dx3r. The futaba feels more sturdy and substantial in the hand and has never missed a beat, has every single adjustment you can wish for. The spektrum on the other hand is much lighter and feels a lot nicer and more controllable however a few friends have commented how small the gap for the finger is on the trigger, no problem if you have smallish fingers or like me simply use the very tip of your index finger.

Having used both I would recommend either but my personal choice would now be the spektrum.

Blimey looking at that Futaba and their other radios it's around the same price if not more than the Helios EX-10.

I can't comment for the feel of the Sanwa M11

but I have been using the sticks version of the M11 and its brilliant! great features, Sanwa seem to be very well built too.

the Sanwa 2.4 Ghz is very good too

Seems resonably priced too, mmm food for thought.

I can get a Helios 2.4 for about £210 + delivery
