Klinik RC wireless transmitter charging system

Klinik RC have introduced their are wireless transmitter charging system for Futaba, KO Propo and Sanwa transmitters. Designed to work with the most common transmitters on the market, Klinik RC have started with a blank slate and spent several months developing the correct charging pad, receiver coil and micro chip processors for safe, reliable and true balance charging. The designers engineered the charging coil to the smallest sizes possible. Measuring less than 1mm thick over most of the surface ensures it will fit very easily inside any battery compartment. The radio can easily stay topped off during any race day simply by placing on the pad between heats. Installation takes only a few minutes on average with no tools required. All that is needed is an available USB charge port, featured on most chargers and power supplies today, and a balance plug when using a 2S LiPo system. The charging system will work with all common transmitter batteries on the market regardless of capacity, all that is required is a battery with a standard JST-XH balance plug.

KO Propo EX-RR ST2 radio system

KO Propo have introduced their new EX-RR ST2 competition radio system. The radio system features an updated pistol grip and as well as the ST-2 steering wheel unit that both utilise redesigned potentiometers that offer greatly improved durability as well as offering a finer resolution, resulting in optimised throttle and steering feeling. The new potis are said to last 100 times longer than the previous parts, ensuring precise car control even after countless hours of usage. In addition the steering wheel shaft now is dual ball raced for even greater precision and smoother operation, ensuring the soft steering wheel return spring can operate at greater efficiency. Also part of the updated package is the new grip unit with the throttle lever’s updated geometry allowing for a better and more direct throttle feeling while still retaining its compact site. The EX-RR ST-2 radio comes with the recently introduced Ver.2.12 firmware for the Master Unit that features a rollout calculator for pan cars, a new push control (auto) throttle function that overrides the strong magnetic fields of high-torque motors, and the firmware also includes a new down timer. The EX-RR ST-2 is available including one or two KR-418FH or one or two KR-415FHD receivers from mid-May.

KO Propo RSx3-one10 Ver.D Lite servo

Coming from KO Propo is their new RSx3-one10 Ver.D Lite low-profile servo for 1/10th drift cars. Based on the proven high-end RSx3-one10 Ver.D servo, the Lite version features a moulded composite rather than a machined aluminium top case for a lower weight while brass gears and the abdication of the ICS settings make for a more cost efficient device. The torque and speed however stayed the same as with the high-end variant, making the servo ideal even for demanding applications.

KO Propo RSx3-one10 Flection Type-T servo

KO Propo have introduced their new RSx3-one10 Type-T servo, specially developed for the use with Tamiya brushless speed controllers. The steering servo builds on the proven RSx3-one10 series, however a specially developed coreless motor makes for lower current consumption, ideal for speed controller with less powerful BEC systems such as Tamiya’s brushless ESC that features a 1.5A BEC system. The servo is aimed towards the use in Tamiya racing series where the Tamiya speedo is mandatory but it can be used with basically every other electronic speed controller. In addition the servo features five programmed settings, for high-grip asphalt, low-grip asphalt, low-grip carpet, Tamiya World Championship blue carpet and the Tamyia Kakegawa track, all of which are accessible using KO Propo’s HCS programming interface. To further make the servo stand out it features light blue case details and a black high-flex receiver wire.
