KO Propo Digital Ride Height Gauge
Having originally unveiled it at the 2025 Tokyo Hobby Show, Japanese radio and servo manufacturer KO Propo has finally announced the release of its Digital Ride Height Gauge specifically designed for RC cars and enabling precise measurements in 0.1mm increments. Shipping from April 24th, to use simply insert the probe under the vehicle to instantly measure the vehicle height with a large numerical display on the LCD screen providing significantly improved visibility compared to conventional scale-type gauges. Covering a wide measurement range from 2mm to 38mm, this single device can handle everything from on-road cars to off-road buggies. A battery level notification LCD is easy to see at a glance, changing the colour of the frame displayed from “green (normal)” to “red (low),” notifying you in advance that it’s time to replace the battery. This prevents sudden battery depletion during use. The auto-sleep function automatically turns off the LCD after 1 minute of inactivity, saving battery power. Furthermore, it features a power switch that completely disconnects the battery when stored. Equipped with a function to correct slight errors caused by attaching and detaching the probe, calibration (zero point adjustment) can be easily completed using the included calibration gauge and the button on the main unit. The exterior parts of this gauge are produced using a 3D printer and due to this manufacturing process, layer lines and unevenness may be visible on the surface, but this does not affect the quality or function.
