Kyosho America have announced first details on their all-new Syncro EX-6 Mini-Z radio system. The newest and most advanced radio ever built for use with the Mini-Z cars from Kyosho is based on the EX-2 radio system just introduced by KO Propo. It takes advantage of the “KIY” (Kustomize It Yourself) system that allows modular expansion and modification of the radio system, and it has a new ultra-fast hybrid mode that is faster than any system currently available. The Syncro EX-6 features a high level of adjustability via precision digital settings that remain stored in the radio’s memory. Most of the settings are adjusted via the two-position LCD display, which can display data in line with the radio for more conventional viewing, or it can be rotated to a transverse position, which makes it easier to view settings and data from the side of the radio.

Seen for the first time in prototype stages during last year’s All Japan Hobby Show, KO Propo now officially introduce their intermediate level EX-2 pistol grip transmitter. Building on the technology of the EX-1 KIY the EX-2 allows to use many of the EX-1’s option parts, including the stick-type unit, while being compatible with all KO Propo FHSS receivers. The lower part of the pistol grip unit resembled the EX-1’s while the steering unit is of a more compact design. The main LCD screen unit though is of a slightly simpler design but it can be mounted in two different angles to allow for best possible visibility. On the software side of things the EX-2 is widely adjustable including class standard functions such as dual rate, steering and throttle curve, speed, and feel as well as several mixing functions including twin servo, 4WS, throttle mixing and others. The radio, that also supports Kyosho’s forthcoming Mini-Z Super Linear Response MHS mode, will include a KR-241FH receiver and it is set for an August release.
