Thanks for that link Paul... not sure if I can justify the best part of £400 for a new radio at the moment, but that does look a decent deal with the extra RX... I wonder if that deal still exists for the two sets which are on backorder?

I brought a Futaba 3GR 2.4ghz set a few years ago to replace an JRApex radio that I seemed to have had on permernant loan from a friend & thought I ought to give it back lol! The 3GR is perfect in terms of its functions Vs price, except that I just can't get on with the way is feels... like theres a minute delay between an input & the car acting on it. I'm now on my 2nd transmitter after the first one died & they do feel cheap to hold - so all in all I've never been quite fully satisfied with it

Its sad if manufacturers do not see a market for stick radios.. So many of us have grown up using sticks & will struggle to convert to a wheel radio - besides i'm not a fan of the way the pistol grip radios look, for me they look toy-like compared to the more techinical appearance of a stick TX.

P.S; It appears that Masami is still using his KO Vantage despite KO releasing their weird pistol radio that you can convert to a stick layout
