Kyosho Syncro EX-6R 2.4GHz Mini-Z transmitter

Made for Kyosho’s 2.4GHz Mini-Z vehicles is the Syncro EX-6R transmitter. It utilises the innovative MHS (Mini-Z Hybrid Spread) 2.4GHz system that combines both Frequency Hopping (FH-SS) and Direct Sequence (DS-SS) spread spectrum, making it the fastest multifunctional transmitter in Mini-Z history. While the improved interference resistance and stability of the MHS 2.4GHz system represents a significant evolution from the ASF 2.4GHz and FHS 2.4GHz systems, the greatest benefits are due to the high-speed processing and communication that creates greater linear control, enabling the machine to be manoeuvred exactly as intended along optimal racing lines. In addition, the EX-6R features a newly designed throttle with revised length, shape, operating angle and sensor for greater direct feel as well as a new softer steering spring for greater sensitivity to enhance driving performance.
