Spectrum in to a Ko Vantage Esprit II Type R

As above can it be done ? if so whitch module is it i have looked on the spectrum wed site and the say its only for the mars and helious. :wtf:

you can't get a direct fit module unfortunately. But somebody does a conversion to the transmitter to enable it to take one of the modules. I think it was through Helger but hopefully someone who has had it done can throw a bit more light on it. I know it's not cheap though!

Helger racing (oops - I mean Horizon Hobby UK!) convert the Esprit to fit the Helios module, and it isn't reversible. See here for more details.

Don't forget you will have to buy the Spektrum module as well as pay £47.50 for the conversion.

yim told it is, you can go back to 40mhz IF you buy the helios 40mhz module which fits straigh into the converted radio

Not true Mark, the ariel and all its fixing points are removed during conversion.

ah true, i was told all you had to do was fit the helios module but as you say, no ariel or mount!!

Asking on behalf of a club member at TORCH, are they still doing this etc?
