Version 1
- Original Version
Version 2
- Master Unit has a software upgrade from Version 1 to Version 2.
- Less twitchy around center for both steering and throttle.
- 5% faster response and more of a linear feel.
Version 3
- Master Unit uses Version 2 software.
- Includes newer “Expert Grip Unit”.
- Trigger stroke and movement is different
- Grip pad has a different fulcrum point and is in-between the original grip pad size and the large grip pad size.
- The KR-211FH is a two channel receiver, little slower CPU and regular copper antenna.
- The KR-413FH is a four channel receiver, faster CPU and a coaxial antenna for better noise filtering and better range.
- KR-211FH is not recommended for use in nitro vehicles or tracks that are very large.
- If your module in your transmitter is designated for DSSS (red label) then you can only use DS receivers.
- If your module in your transmitter is designated for FHSS (green label) or you have the EX-1 KIY FHSS system then you can only use FHSS receivers.
- The different 2.4GHz systems can not be mixed to work together.
The KR-411FH and KR-413FH receivers differ by the CPU that is used in the receiver. The KR-413FH has a faster CPU to process the information resulting in a smoother and more linear feel.
- When this receiver is used with a non-EX-1 KIY, speeds will not be noticed since the transmitter is the limiting factor.
- When used with the EX-1 KIY FHSS system, response times can be as fast as 2.8ms in the Advanced mode.

The Steering unit must be calibrated to the Master unit.
If you change Steering units or Master units you must perform the calibration every time.
To calibrate the Steering unit:
1. Turn on the transmitter and go to the System Menu (button 4 on the LCD screen).
2. Scroll to AdjustST and press the Enter key.
3. Move the steering wheel or stick all the way to the left, all the way to the right and back to neutral.
4. Make sure YES is highlighted on the screen and press and hold the Enter key until COMPLETE is shown on the screen.
5. You will be redirected back to the initial screen and the calibration is finished.
You can verify the movement of the steering by selecting the Monitor function (button 1 on the LCD screen).
Movement of the steering and throttle will be displayed with input.
If you have trim set in either the steering or throttle, the cursor will be off center due to the trim that has been added.
The Grip unit must be calibrated to the Master unit.
If you change Grip units or Master units you must perform the calibration every time.
To calibrate the Grip unit:
1. Turn on the transmitter and go to the System Menu (button 4 on the LCD screen).
2. Scroll to AdjustTH and press the Enter key.
3. Pull the trigger to full throttle, full brake and back to neutral.
4. Make sure YES is highlighted on the screen and press and hold the Enter key until COMPLETE is shown on the screen.
5. You will be redirected back to the initial screen and the calibration is finished.
You can verify the movement of the throttle by selecting the Monitor function (button 1 on the LCD screen).
Movement of the steering and throttle will be displayed with input.
If you have trim set in either the steering or throttle, the cursor will be off center due to the trim that has been added.
Sometimes the throttle pot can shift and go out of calibration or the trigger might be damaged.
Please perform the AdjustVR function to calibrate the steering and throttle pots. You must finish the function and do both (ST & TH) or the changes will not take effect.
If you cannot finish either the steering or throttle portion of the function, then the pot or something else can be damaged and you will need to send in your transmitter for service.

The EX-10 Eurus uses the same casing as the EX-10 Helios and that is pretty much where the similarities end.
The Eurus has a new CPU processor that allows for speeds that are faster and incorporates the new DDS (Direct Digital System). The ease of navigation with the new menu system with 40 model memory and 3rd and 4th channel operations are now available. The slowest response in the Eurus is still a little faster then the fastest response in the Helios.
More info on the Eurus can be found here.
