Page 52: Glossary
■ Glossary This section explains terms which appear in this instruction manual as well as terms which are common in the radio control hobby. A radio frequency range which is higher than previous ones such as 27MHz and 40MHz. However, this also means it is also more direct and signal transmission may be difficult if there 2.4GHz are interfering objects between the transmitter and receiver. - Page 53 ESCs which are not also exist. There are ESCs to match either brushed or brushless motors. This system is unique to KO Propo and enables two-way communication with a PC. By using ICS (Interactive the Interface Kit (sold separately), the transmitter's internal memory data may be edited on a Communication System) A global communications network which connects smaller networks made up of multiple PCs.
- Page 54 A type of battery which can be recharged for repeated use. Other types of rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries include Ni-MH and Li-ion. Compared to Ni-Cd batteries, Ni-MH batteries have a larger capacity. They are more Ni-MH environmentally-friendly since it does not contain Cadmium, but they are also more susceptible to damage from overdischarging.
