Apparently with a module, the Flysky NB4 works. https://www.kenonhobby.com/Flysky-Mi...o_p_49263.html

It really depends which Mini-Z, the EVO models have multiple receiver types and can use a few options from KO, FlySky Noble, Futaba...

For the Readyset models (RWD/AWD), they use the Kyosho FHSS protocol made by FlySky, you can use FlySky Noble NB4 and its variants, Futaba 4PM+ (both with RM-005 module). KO had produced the ASF/MHS electronics used in the old brushed MR02/03 up till 2012, then only VE/VE Pro until EVO released in 2019.

The ASF/MHS protocol is now discontinued. So, a KO based transmitter would not be high on my list of items to purchase if looking to get a new TX. I would honestly just look at the Noble or Futaba 4PM+ (only the PLUS version is compatible with the RM005 module). For EVO, the native protocols of the Noble and 4PM+ are better options than the Kyosho FHSS protocol.

Also Futaba just announced an adapter to use the RM-005 module with the 10PX.
