Default Helios with Spektrum Pro vs KO 2.4 Mhz Transmitter/Receiver

Can anyone advise me about the benefits of the KO 2.4 Mhz transmitter/receiver over the similar Spektrum Pro equipment? Trying to decide if the KO unit is an improvement. Thanks.

Bill

I have a Helios With Spektrum Pro Module and Pro Receiver.

I wanted the KO 2.4 and that Tiny receiver but cheap second hand availability was non existent. So i had to get the Spektrum. So in the long run i know if i need another Receiver i can get one second hand from somewhere. Instead hunting it down expensive new from retailers at MSRP.

I have had the Spektrum Pro with the small 3500 receiver in my Helios for about two years...And am fairly happy with it. But, KO 2.4 Mhz system is called better by some; so, I have interest in hearing from those that have the KO unit.

I'm in the same boat. I have the Helios Ex-10 with spektrum pro and mine works flawlessly. I would like to pick up the Ko system; but I'm a little leary of the problem with the interference with the Futaba 4PK 2.4 ghz. I'm happy for now; but would like to hear from some of the KO 2.4 ghz users who made the switch from spektrum.

Pass you soon...

Just switched to KO and it has worked flawlessly. I have used similar, less expensive, systems in the past and have destroyed cars due to system failures. In my experience, the KO system is top notch!

i had the spektrum stuff when it first release in my ko. it was soo bad that I went back to crystals until the futaba 2.4 came out. It worked great, but never liked the way the futaba felt. so as soon as ko had a 2.4 I came back. boy soo much better then Spektrum. don't know about the current spektruum stuff, but i hated the first gen stuff and will never touch spektrum again. I did have a prob in vegas with the ko 2.4, but that has since been resolved. I know of several spektrum users that had problems at the snowbirds. Now I am not sure if they were running the spektrum with the ko, but i know it was spektrum
