Spektrum DX2E transmitter
The DX2E from Spektrum is the perfect answer for any surface enthusiast looking for their first upgrade into the world of 2.4GHz technology. Powered by Spektrum 2.4GHz technology, the DX2E offers class-leading signal assurance at a wallet-friendly and budget conscious price point. Until now, those wanting the reassurance and convenience of 2.4GHz technology have been unable to benefit from Spektrum technology at this price point meaning that they’d either have to settle for something else or spend more. Now though with the DX2E, Spektrum have redressed the balance, making their marine-compatible patented surface DSM signal transmission available for the first time at this price-point driven end of the market.

KO Propo EX-1 images
Having brought you the very first photos and detailed information about the new KO Propo EX-1 yesterday, we have sourced more detailed images of the transmitter with a focus on the modular K.I.Y. system. As explained before the radio allows you to assemble it in modules using the Steering, Throttle and Master units and as such you can configure it to just the way you like it. There are optional steering modules, for a lowered steering wheel and also for a stick option which gives you a hybrid pistol stick result, something that goes back to the original transmitters from the 70s and 80s. We are told by KO that there is a lot more to this radio and we will be given an in depth run through at the Nuremberg toy fair in 2 weeks.
