Just to clarify. Is the DX3r Pro going to come standard with the drop down wheel built into the radio(which puts the wheel down near the same height/axis as the throttle- And may not give people the ability to remove the drop down wheel adapter such as the prototype shown pictured above can do?

Giving people the choice of using a drop down wheel adapter seems to be the best solution- being that some people absolutely love the feel of having the steering wheel closer to the same height or axis as the throttle trigger. While others prefer to have the drop down wheel removed from their radios. It's a win win situation to give people the choice to use the drop down wheel adapter or to leave it off or at least be able to take it off. Many people have told me if the DX3r wheel was lower or closer to the axis of the throttle- they would like to buy the DX3r radio. And nothing I say about the lightweight or how much I like the radio other than this one limitation- can convince them otherwise. I first learned about the drop down wheel almost two years ago from one of the Losi Team Drivers who let me hold his DX3r radio which had this same drop down wheel adapter as pictured above- already on the radio. That's a very long wait to hope that a product will eventually come out. I've had high hopes for this drop down wheel to be released to the public- for those of us that wish to have the choice of a drop down wheel adapter on our DX3r radios. Choices are great things to have, and frustrating to not have. I'm quite cetain I'll not find a radio as lightweight as the DX3r with the drop down wheel adapter- but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. A heavier radio but will feel more comfortable in my hands. Though I believe someone will eventually make an extreemly lightweight radio which also gives us racers the choice of running the drop down wheel adapter. To me- this will be the ultimate radio.

But I realize this will not be for everyone, but if this new UltraLightweight Radio gives people the choice to use the drop down wheel adapter or not- this vastly increases the number of people that would buy such a radio. It seems it would satisfy both people which prefer the drop down wheel placement of the wheel- and those which prefer the wheel to sit much higher up away from the axis of the throttle and brake trigger. And with companies giving themselves this extra option part as one many people will buy- it becomes another way to make more money for the company- if offered as a seperate option not included with the radio. Or the drop down wheel adapter could be shipped with the radio which also would be awesome


Me too- and I would not be able to stop smiling from extreem happyness and gratitude

That's why it's a win win situation for Losi/Horizon to offer such a drop down wheel adapter for the DX3r. If someone made the drop down wheel adapter- more people would buy the radios and many people would buy the drop down wheel adapter- it's a win win situation.

And I completely agree with you- The KO ProPo Drop Down- Multi-Angle Wheel Adapter- is my very favorite of all the Drop Down Wheels made to date. It gives us the ability to both drop the wheel down to the same axis as the throttle- and goes beyond this to also allow a swivel ability which allows the wheel to be angled away from us toward the track- in adition to dropping the wheel down onto a much lower axis. This by far is my favorite type of drop down wheel, though I could be happy with at least a basic drop down wheel adapter as well.

That's very true. I think the key word here is choices. Or choice. To have the choice to use the DX3r with a drop down wheel relocator which places the steering wheel down closer to the same axis as the throttle- would indeed be a great product to give racers and anyone- the choice of owning and using on their DX3r Radios. This choice becoming available to the public would certainly make my day And make racing allot more comfortable and natural feeling when running the buggy all day back to back battery packs. I do wish Losi(Horizon Hobby) would make this drop down wheel relocator/adapter available to the public someday soon. This would truly put a smile on many DX3r radio owners practice and race days

PS. Keep in mind- allot of what determines which prototypes make it into production is determined by the demand for any particular product or accessory or hop up/option part. The DX3r has been one of the best selling radios to date- and this drop down wheel relocator/adapter would likely be an explosive success for most people that already own the DX3r and would like to experiment with relocating the steering wheel on their DX3r radios- such that many of the Losi Team Members found this drop down wheel adapter to be a great and comfortable improvement.

My understanding is that one of the Losi engineers made the first prototype drop down wheel relocator in his Garage which also functions as his personal machine shop. I forget his name- but a very nice and extreemly friendly person, made this drop down wheel to create a more comfortable and natural feel to his radio- as you can see- his project is a success.
