I have rather large hands as well, and I have always been comfortable with the Sanwa and Futaba radios. I find the KO to be too small. I haven't spent much time with the NB4 or the Radiomaster MT12, but have held both. They didn't feel as comfortable to me as the Sanwa and Futaba in my hand.

modifying it by adding grips or tennis racket wrap. changing wheels, triggers and spring tensions

there's lots of ways to do it.... i mean people 3d print stuff and swap the guts in so there are lots of other ways to have it

I don't have big hands but there's like 1/3 of the handle left when I grab my FS GT5.

I have pretty big hands as well (super wide palm and slightly above average finger length). I recently got a Spektrum iXSR and it's awesome. I installed the largest grip they have and it feels good after racing. That's how I usually test. If after a 5-7 minute race my hand and elbow (tennis elbow) don't ache or have hot-spots, it's a winner. 700 bucks be damned, it's a phenomenal radio and works well for me. Good luck, I'm sure there are cheaper options but at least with Spektrum you can probably find a local shop that has one and get a feel. I love Futaba, but they're a bit tight for me, particularly at the top of where my thumb and index finger meet. And all these new Grom, Losi Nascar and other SLT radios, ugh, I can't even use them for 60 seconds. They all get donated to the hobby store.
