The prototype powered Hayato Matsuzaki to his recent IFMAR 2wd buggy World Championship title in Japan.

Standup or laydown style of brush motors will also benefit with the turning off/on the preprogrammed drag brake feature. The current USB PC interface (61018) and the multi setting adapter (61009) are still compatible and are required for programming changes. Features adjustable drive frequencies (0.9-12kHz) for each of the 32 throttle steps, brake frequency, drag brake adjustment, power save feature and throttle response allow for full tuning capabilities. The VFS-1 Pro C3 comes with a 23T motor profile installed, power capacitor and Ultimate booster.

KO Propo EX-I UR Transmitter Categories - KO Propo, Products, Radio Equipment - comments closed
Japanese company KO Propo have released details about their latest pistol grip radio, the EX-I UR. Featuring a new ultra high-speed CPU design, the radio can store up to 30 different cars in its memory and has 3 different levels of response from normal to advanced to Super-Ultra. The radio can be used in 3 or 4 channel mode and the new module has been optimised to provide ultra-stable performance. A smaller diameter steering wheel combined with less turning angle gives a quicker turning response from end point to end point and helps increase reaction speeds, while all the steering and throttle functions can be monitored on the transmitters LCD screen.

At the recent Tokyo Hobby Show in Japan, KO Propo showed off a number of new items on their stand and Hong Kong based company Roche was there to take pictures. First up, as you can see above, is the new 2.4GHz Spread Spektrum system, which is to be used in all their high end module based radios with the set coming complete with a miniature SS receiver. For Mini-Z fans KO have also got a 2.4GHz system in the works and this too was on display at the show. Also new on the KO Propo stand was a prototype Brushless speed controller shown connected to a Team Orion Vortex motor, but apart from what I can see in the pictures, I have no other details on this product.
