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.
