As much as it pains me to say this....

Price depends on whether it's the newer (gold) one or not. The older ones are sub £100 with receiver for a nice looking one off the bay.

Maybe it's just me but I'd prefer a pukka KO receiver.

The good thing about the older (silver) one is that it works with all the receivers inc the 297 which are cheap as chips these days so when you get a 4wd you can get a receiver cheaply

Is it normal practice for people to use a receiver of a different manufature to the tranny i.e. Futaba receiver and KO transmitter?

I must be honest, in all the time ive been racing the radio gear is the area ive paid the lease attention (hence the attack SR!!!)

Some people do use others as they may have two cars and the KO ones can be quite pricey.
Dont think it matters whether its futaba or KO in terms of performance I think they should be the same

Dan, is it worth paying that bit extra for the Type R?

[super__dan]

Depends on price, there are no more usefull features I am aware of other than the higher responce but I'm not sure that's a load of pub BS anyway.

If one came up for good money I'd go for it as you know it's newer but if that other one stays at 60 notes, go for that!!!!

By the way Futaba make as good if not better receivers so if compatable you shouldn't worry about that.

Wayne you will pick up a great piece of kit for under a ton.

I bought the universe back in april because i had the KO (silver one) for 7 years, it never let me down once it was fantastic, and since moving to the universe one i noticed no difference at all, i dont know if thats a good thing or not but i will always use KO. Even with the universe i use a futaba reciever in the 2wd and the novak xxl also works.

To be honest i really got it because ash has one
