Some of the cars coming onto the 1/10 buggy market are really thin in with. Schumacher CAT SX & Team Durango DEX401. There is little space inside for chunky electronics. The KO rec looks perfect alternative to the Spektrum micro.
If you look carefully the KO Rx's servo pins are stacked on top of the main Rx case so it makes the whole thing look smaller when in fact it's taller eg double decker. Basically it traded a larger vertical footprint for a smaller horizontal footprint.
Now if you look at this Sawnwa RX notice the servo plug pins are to the side and not stacked on top like the KO so yes the horizontal footprint is bigger but it's lower profile compared to the KO. It's really just trading one for another.
