ParkZone 4-Channel Ultra-Micro Sneak Peek

ParkZone 4-Channel Ultra Micro Sneak Peek (0 min 20 sec)

For quite a while, folks have been asking us if and when ParkZone will be releasing a 4-channel ultra-micro system. This isn't an announcement for a specific product, but we want people to know that we're working in this direction.

Since this isn't a product announcement, don't bother asking local hobby shops about this. They don't have any information and won't for quite a while. And don't expect me to give up much info at this point, except that our prototypes are flying well, and they're flying on DSM2.

This is very exciting news; as long as they work with the DSM2 Transmitters you already have out there they will certainly be a hit!!!!

Credit card ready

Well, since you are likely to check back here... We also want stand alone servos based on the Brick mechanism. Since all you really need are the resistive material and a driver board, it is almost done. Hopefully that extra channel on these new models is set up as a real servo and problem is solved.

That is so very awsome

I think it would make the coolest spec class for an indoor freestyle contest.

Between this and the Losi 2.2 crawler, I don't know if I can stand all the waiting

I just ordered the Vapor PNP

Well... highly desireable...

I worked with a brick based system in the late 1970's. (obviously much larger...) On small models it might be inconvenient but most things can be made to do what you want.

Thanks for sharing this.

It would be great if you could keep this thread updated periodically with the progress.

34Ford · Dec 05, 2008, 08:16 AM

So its not the 3 channel Edge we have seen on the Kyosho Japan site.

Elisecat · Dec 05, 2008, 08:28 AM

Nope!

This is from Parkzone, not Kyosho.

34Ford · Dec 05, 2008, 08:31 AM

Sweet.

A must have!
