KoPropo Radio and Servos

KoPropo is the brand name of the Japanese company Kondo Kagaku Ltd. and manufacturer of radio remote controls, servos and receivers for RC models. Already in 1945, the Tokyo-based company developed the first wireless remote control for aircraft models, becoming one of the pioneers in the RC industry.

Radio remote controls

The most important thing you need with RC vehicles is, of course, a radio control. Radio remote controls essentially consist of three components: transmitter, receiver and servos.

Conventional radio controls are equipped with either two sticks, which can be moved in two to four directions, or as so-called pistol transmitter with a knob as a steering wheel and a throttle triggwe. The integrated transmitter in the controller translates these wireless signals and sends them to the receiver, which is built into each RC model. Through this receiver, the signals of the remote control are forwarded to the servo. For this to work, the receiver must be tuned to a quartz of the same frequency as the transmitter. This determines the channel on which to send and receive. If you have any questions about this, you should follow the manufacturer's instructions. The task of the servo is then to implement the stick movements of the transmitter in steering movements on the vehicle.

KoPropo

KoPropo was already a pioneer in the area of remote controls in 1982. The Expert EX-1 set a new standard by integrating a pistol grip with a trigger, acting as a throttle into a transmitter. Due to the constant pioneering work and further development, the products have always been improved and today they are state-of-the-art.

KoPropo K.I.Y.

The KoPropo remote controls are based on the Kustomize It Yourself (K.I.Y.) concept. It is a modular system that allows the users to create a system tailored to their needs through interchangeable components and also to stay up to date. It consists of three units: steering unit, gas/brake unit and master unit. These three modules can be easily connected to each other via "click & fix" without screws. All you have to do is press the safety button, release the fixation lever, and then swap or replace the module. It's so easy to use the K.I.Y. in order to have more fun with your hobby.

Design and ergonomics

The pistol transmitters by KoPropo also impress with their design. They are compact, lightweight and fit perfectly in the hand thanks to perfect ergonomics. The Expert Grip provides a new feel and because of the optimization of the throttle it is even easier to control the speed. The LCD display of the remote controls can be mounted in two different angles and thus offers the ideal viewing position. The menu is very clear through the representation of the menu items in symbols and simplifies the setting of the vehicle. Consequently the driver can use the best performance.
