KO Radio
 
I am looking for a new radio and saw this on sale. Does anyone have any knowledge of the KO EX-NEXT. Model KOP10683. It comes with 2 receivers and it is $399.

Two receivers with long wires.
No discount on the short antenna version.

I have an antique Futaba so long wires aren't a problem but thanks for your input. From 1 oldfool to another.

Did you grab one?
That is the radio I have my eye on.

I'm sitting on the fence. Decision has to be made by 11.30 today.

I still like the Flysky Noble 4 pro. More channels and battery included for less money.

I'm really old school so I want to stick with Futaba or KO.

I use Airtronics M11 and Hitec lynx 4s.I will never Own Futaba. I need more channesl on a surface radio and The Noble 4 pro fits my choice without the price of the 10X and with Futaba the telemetry sensors are expensive. Flysky is plug and play with there. sensors.

Racers have other demands than bashers, something you will never understand....
And yes, the NB4 pro is a nice transmitter with the needs for racers but it will never be my choice because the simple fact it is no stick transmitter ;)

I have been using the Ex-Next for the last 3 years or so. I love the radio, it feels just right in my hand. Never had any issues with it, I'm very satisfied. I came from an M17, which is a great radio too, but the KO was more comfortable to me. Never felt any difference in speed between the two. Receivers are a bit pricy, so if you need several, you may want to consider that. The interface to set up is simple enough, though a little less flashy then other radios out there. The white grip gets dirty fast but is easy to clean with simple green, plus you can get other color grips if it bothers you.

You use a stick for cars? Which one?
I would like to try a stick for steering but don't think a stick for throttle would work as well as a trigger.

I have a KO Radio, the EX-RR EXII. I picked it up 5 years ago, it came with the two receivers as well. I'm happy with it, it works well. I use KO servos with it, so I pay a premium for them. If I had to do it again, would I buy one? Probably, but it's really hard to look at the Futaba radio with the nice color screen and not want it.

This is borderline OT, but I saw this posted in a Facebook chat yesterday. I have no idea of the original source.
