I dont have the tx at hand to photograph, but I got the connection info from a link in a 2009 thread on this subject on oople.

This was actally a spectrum module conversion but the pin connectors are the same as a ko module. Hope this helps. I dont actually solder to the modules direct, but solder to pin connectors and just plug in.

Hey Pete, hows them imperial drivers working out? :lol:

No idea if this would work on an Esprit 1 - ive never seen one to know how they work, and cant even find them on Internet!?
Only thing I could find was this on the KO America website:
Q. Can I use an Esprit module with Vantage Esprit II?
A. No. If you use Esprit module, the RF output becomes low and it could lead to a problem.


not sure where that leaves us?

:D I'll have to ask the postie that!

Yeah, I couldn't see any info online either, guess that trying it would be the only way to find out. I'll have to take the case off and see how the wiring compares to your photos

Any Futaba module, air or surface, should work in the Hitec Eclipse, which is the stick version of my Hitec CRX - see my earlier comment about it.

thanks i think i will get one and try it :thumbsup:

sheddy 16-03-2012 06:17 PM

Have just put one of these in a KO esprit 3, Works great, range is more than i will ever need. Very impressed and thanks Cardnim for all your help.

john333 17-03-2012 11:09 PM

My Futaba 3VC conversion also works great. Fantastic system

Swalls 20-03-2012 11:18 PM

Thanks to all the info on here and Cardnim's awesome walk through I've done this to my old Esprit 2 Type R. Only tried it in the flat so far, but always binds up in an instant and is pretty darn simple.

I'll await for some track testing, but it would be surprised if this doesn't kick the arse off my esprit 3. The universe is always failing in some way or other. How amazing is it that I can get my preferred tranny, in 2.4gig and at such an insane price? Awesome.

This may help, cannot remember where I found it, an American site, and have not done my Gemini yet, do have the bits and have the back off the tranny, looks much the same. Usuall disclaimers......

Will be interested to see where you put the binding button & aerial.

peetbee 21-03-2012 09:23 AM

Cheers JCJC:D
Is a friends, so will see what he can come up with

Swalls 27-03-2012 07:06 PM

Track tested, awesome!

RICHARD OXLEY 11-04-2012 09:45 PM

will any of the frsky modules fit the ko universe 3 tx.

sheddy 13-04-2012 09:00 PM

I have one fitted in my KO esprit 3, used at two meetings now and works perfectly.

qatmix 14-04-2012 12:57 PM

Have you fitted the internal pack of your esprit3? Or do they make an external one that just clips in?

tjf 18-04-2012 08:17 PM

Just fitted this to my KO using these instructions and really pleased.

Thank you for a great thread

Anywhere other than Cod sell these things - they are out of stock :(
