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.
http://www.freewebs.com/nrccctest/koconversion.pdf
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.
Mike

Hey Pete, hows them imperial drivers working out?

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?

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 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.

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