What's your favorite Vintage Transmitter?

Recommended Posts

Although I never owned one, I remember drooling over the Ko Propo Special Edition in my LHS. Gold everywhere, with that awesome BBS mesh styled steering wheel.

As for favorite I've owned, the Airtronics XL2P for gun style, and the Airtronics  SR series for stick controllers. Still have multiples of each, and they all still work brilliantly.

I've had the worst luck trying to get a decent WORKING Airtronics XL2P. First one I got, melted the battery holder, second one just dead on arrival but used as a donor for first radio and melted that battery holder also. Still have them both, they're clean and beautiful but not functional.

Not as old as the ones in here - does early/mid 90s count as vintage? The Sanwa seven ace for me, they looked so cool being able to stand upright. Was the first I bought new for the new touring car and I still have it. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work with modern ESC so its in a box.

I just picked up a Sanwa MT4s which came with 2 servos and they are the same bar the plugs as the 4 I have from late 80s early 90s

Acoms mk5 handset all the way for me. Looks good, feels good. The chrome might be a bit tacky by today's standards, but it doesn't have the cheap plastic feel of later models.

The EX-5 just screams RC to me and I loved the wheel on it....I've now realized I had a lot of these transmitters and don't know where they went.....moving seems to make things disappear:)
