FHS Tx for Sports: SyncRo Touch KT-432P

Kyosho releases new FHS 2,4 GHz transmitter for Mini-Z Sports:

SyncRo Touch KT-432P







It can be interesting opportunity for "Sports", because until now no growing possible with only FHS KT-19.

In waiting cost and functionnal experience feedback...

Hmmm now this might (maybe a big might) be a reason to get a mr03 sport... Looks like a giant step up from the kt19... Wondering how much they will be pricing it out on the market...

Since it only applies to the "Sport" series it is a really great step forward.

Now we're talking!

I'll hope it's around $150, but I have that $200 range feeling.

Since the "Sport" series board isn't adjustable it is nice to see a lot of the adjustments we enjoy with the ASF boards showing up as transmitter adjustments for the "Sports" board.

Since the EX-5 radio is still listed in the $150 range it is unlikely that the new radio will be less.

I agree the transmitter looks like it could be in the $200 dollar range, which in my opinion, defeats the purpose.

Now for the million dollar question, are they going to start selling the Sports chassis only at a cheaper price or just bundle it with new transmitter?

Since it does little or no good to "ask Kyosho" I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Still. It is progress.

the radio looks very promising for the "Sports Series". I'm glad that they are coming out with an option over the KT-19.

Well, at least I get to tell interested racers that there will be a radio option for the Sports now as opposed to telling them they may be stuck with the KT19. And if this radio performs... all the better!

I'm really hoping this is within a FlySky price range, I see no reason why it shouldn't be.

Also, I think it would be real interesting if someone can work an ASF module into this as some have done with the 4PKS. If Kyosho would make an FHS module for the Helios radios, that would have been the perfect mix in my book.

Not enough profit in modules compared to a whole non module radio.

they will likely follow the ASF model and keep the RTR kits and add ARR kits to the lineup and sell the upgrade TX separately like the ex5-ur.

just speculation until Kyosho tells us more. don't bother asking K.USA. they typically don't know till it hits or ships.

Was in Hong Kong late last month and got to talk to a hobby shop owner, and asked about this... Early next year, maybe... He said... I have no idea re pricing...
