I bought this as it has sticks and is for general running and my one has a steering end point adjustment knob (£40 inc post from Jadlam ) . It is basically a rebranded Flysky and you can buy extra ( cheap) flysky receivers for other cars you might have and use the same handset

I had a chuckle when I read the title , as Gom is what my nan used to call a Gnome , we kept telling her the G is silent and it's pronounced Nome , she never did get it , so now Gom is always the little fella in my memory

I would have bought it but I'm set up now , thanks guys :)
