When an operation is slow, or has been slowed.
A type of servo which uses digital-type integrated circuits (IC).
A device which forcibly discharges remaining electricity from batteries such as Ni-Cd.
Acronym for Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum. It is a type of spread spectrum transmission
system which uses the 2.4GHz band.
A ratio between two operations.
A type of memory in which stored data is not deleted when the power is turned off. This
product features this type of memory.
An acronym for Electronic Speed Controller, which controls the speed of the motor on an
electric-powered R/C car.
An acronym for Electric Trim. Button Trim is similarly shortened as BT.
A device which sets the servo horn to a predetermined position to prevent the car from going
out of control when signal interference is experienced.
A high-end servo in which the motor features field-effect transistors as opposed to bipolar
transistors.
Acronym for Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum. Like DSSS, it is a type of spread spectrum
transmission system.
A range of radio wave frequencies such as 27MHz, 40MHz, 2.4GHz, etc.
An ESC which utilizes a high frequency to control the motor. Nearly all current ESCs are high
frequency types, but older 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
the Interface Kit (sold separately), the transmitter's internal memory data may be edited on a
PC.
A global communications network which connects smaller networks made up of multiple PCs.
This network enables the release of information via websites around the world,
communication via E-mail, etc.
A type of rotating dial which has no stops. Each click of the dial equates to a one point
adjustment to the data to be modified and it is convenient for making large adjustments at
one time.
Acronym for Liquid Crystal Display. The screen is used to display letters, numbers, etc.
Acronym for Light Emitting Diode. It is a type of semi-conductor which uses electricity to
generate light.
A component which connects the servo to another part of the car chassis.
A type of battery which is quick to charge and is good for repeated recharges. They are also
less susceptible to natural discharging and are easy to manage, making them safer compared
to other types of lithium batteries.
A type of lithium battery which is lightweight and available in various sizes. They are equipped
with balance connectors since there is a risk of fire/explosion if they are overcharged.
A unit of frequency. 1000 Hertz (Hz) = 1 Kilohertz (kHz), 1000 kHz = 1 MHz.
A term which refers to a location where information is temporarily stored (on a PC for
example). Transmitters feature non-volatile memory where the stored information is not
erased when power is turned off (refer to EEPROM).
A feature which combines the signals for multiple operations or effects into a more efficient
output signal.
A function which checks the operation of each channel.
The position of the transmitter controls when they are not operated, or the position of the
servo horn at that time.
A feature where braking is applied when the throttle is returned from forward acceleration to
neutral position. Also called drag brake.
A type of battery which can be recharged for repeated use. Other types of rechargeable
batteries include Ni-MH and Li-ion.
Compared to Ni-Cd batteries, Ni-MH batteries have a larger capacity. They are more
environmentally-friendly since it does not contain Cadmium, but they are also more
