Re: a comprehensive history of Ko Propo EX1
haha!
I own the first EX-1!
Fantasic quality! Much much much better, than all modern transmitters. Super-Duty and ball bearings at the steeringwheel and throttle. I love it!

My local HS has several of those still NIB. I have been kicking around the idea of picking them up. Because I love the old Ko Propo radios.
Those are my toys and no I will not share!

So awesome, I have always loved those radios! Now an EX-1 UR is the radio that guides my 1/8 On-Road cars.

The EX-1 is the 911 of Radios - like the RC10
And the legend lives on with the new one!

Re: A comprehensive history of Ko Propo EX1 (1982-2002)
Just came across this thread while searching on google.
Would anyone know the date that this KO Propo EX-10 was manufactured?
Just acquired it, and was hoping it was period correct for my Kyosho Turbo Burns, around 1989 I think.
Thanks.

Re: A comprehensive history of Ko Propo EX1 (1982-2002)
this is not an EX-10... not even sure it's an EX-I actually!
EDIT - the widely "known" EX-10 is the "helios", which is a late 90's radio. Not sure whether this one is an ex-10 at all, could actually be...
EDIT 2 - you know what? This could very well be an EX-10 after all, because the EX-9 looked just like that with analog pots rather than that LCD... my bad. anyway, too lazy to rephrase the whole post now
![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
having said that, this KO was also sold as JR-756 as I recognize it, which could be a bit easier to find some stuff about on the intrawebz. And this is defo a KO radio (compare with EX-5 plastics, for instance - same design)
For example:
https://www.rctech.net/forum/radio-electronics/999036-autographed-jr-r-756-transmitter.html
![Image](https://www.rctech.net/forum/attachments/radio-electronics/1444912d1506704308-autographed-jr-r-756-transmitter-dsc00272.jpg)
Showing it signed in '99... so it should be on the market since earlier than that. Hence it isn't an EX-1 otherwise it'd be part of the "history" article above. I don't think it's a design that was available in '89 either, looks too modern, AND Jack Johnson wouldn't still be using one in '99 I would say...

Re: A comprehensive history of Ko Propo EX1 (1982-2002)
Oh - and since we're on the topic of signed radios, I picked up Josh Cyrul's former EX-1 a few years back and he signed it for me too... let me know if you're interested in a couple of pix and I will dig it up ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

It might be from '94 since this add below is from January '93 JirkaLonestar wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 11:34 am Showing it signed in '99... so it should be on the market since earlier than that.
