July 1, 2014 - Kar-Tech has introduced the Compact Series radio transmitter. The Compact transmitter includes features from the Impact Series, including functionality and durability, but in a smaller package.

 

The belly-pack transmitter is molded out of glass-filled nylon for durability in any temperature, with room for up to four thumb sticks or up to 10 switches on its lower control face. Above that, there is room for more switches, dials, displays, buttons, etc. The sides are also usable, and commonly configured with key switches, large pushbuttons for RPM control, and tether connectors.

 

Electronics are high-spec SMT. Twenty hours of actively transmitting operating life is the typical minimum with the internal lithium-polymer batteries, which are charged via a CAN cable.

 

Due to the amount of customization of the transmitter, the Compact is designed for OEM-use only. It can be configured to meet each customer’s needs.
