Hi all
Was wondering where the best place was to send your ko transmitter to get converted to spektrum? Is KO direct the best place to go as i don't think that they have a base in the uk?
Cheers in advance

which transitter is it? the KO vantage gold knob jobby?
If so i know a guy who does a great conversion where he fits the module into the existing slot and has the aerial internally not hanging out the back of the transmitter so you don;t keep breaking them. And should you wish it's easy to convert them back again to 40mhz.
PM Alec Springer (smartalec) as he will have the guys details. Pete somebody. It really is a neat conversion and he only charges about £10! (excluding spektrum unit obviously!)

Have you really binned it?
If not and the steering pot was OK, can I have it please? In fact can I have whatever is left?
