JConcepts 1970 Chevy K10 USA-1 edition

JConcepts is pleased to announce a new partnership with USA-1 4×4 and owner Everett Jasmer on the creation of a new decal package for the 1970 Chevy K10 USA-1 edition body. One of the most iconic names in the Monster Truck industry remains USA-1. The original built by Jasmer in the early 1980’s is a classic and features several notable items added to the legacy Chevy build that provides its stance, looks and branding package. With all the experience and expertise, the JConcepts decal set needed to be solid and after receiving all the photo assets of the vehicle, the JConcepts design team went to work recreating an icon. The body arrives clear in package with Chevrolet and JConcepts decal sheet along with window mask for ease of painting. Separately, the set also includes USA-1 4×4 decal sheet for the 1970 shell custom made and licensed through Everett Jasmer.

KO Propo EX-Next transmitter

KO Propo have dropped their all new EX-Next transmitter and KR-420XT receiver. Equipped with a new standard called ‘XT’ that they claim achieves the fastest communication speed in the industry​. An all new control and radio communication software was developed making it about 3 times the speed of the EX-RR. High-speed communication in the XT advanced mode improves the information density that will be sent to the receiver for a smooth and more responsive feeling. The EX-Next also supports ‘XT Telemetry mode’ that uses 2-way communication. When 4S series servos, that support serial compatible, are connected to the B/S port in the new receiver you can use realtime ICS allowing you to easily change parameters of the servos from the transmitter without accessing the car directly. Even using the XT Telemetry mode that is 2-way communication, the high-speed response, while slower than XT advanced mode is still faster than the EX-RR.
