[NSRCA-discussion] JR Propo changing to DMSS

[Peter Vogel]

Horizon did an announcement last week, they are still the exclusive distributor of JR in the US, they carry the new XG radios and the WV servos.  They call the partnership with JR 'stronger than ever' but JR has decided to standardize their product worldwide. DMSS is no longer Spektrum RX compatible.  I think JR was losing revenue in RX's because people haven't perceived a difference with the Spektrum products.  Time will tell if that was a good idea or not...

Horizon has always differentiated the JR products it carries from those sold in other countries, either thru firmware differences, model number differences, or different features.  The website you link to also shows a new series of wide voltage servos, including brushless ones, that I have not seen advertised here.
