Sanwa M17 2.4GHz competition radio system

During this week’s Shizuoka Hobby Show in Japan Sanwa are presenting their latest competition radio system, the M17. Understood to be the follow-up model to the popular M12 series, the transmitter adapts the lightweight design of the MT-4 series, doing away with the bulky appearance of the highly popular M12. In terms of specifications Sanwa’s new flagship model will sport the new telemetry-ready FH5 system, it comes with a colour LCD screen, a separate touch pad and a Micro SDHC slot. Other features include 1-cell LiPo operation and an overall lighter design that is expected to be over 20 perfect down from the M12S. The 4-channel transmitter comes including a RX-491 receiver and it should become available soon, however a definite release date is not mentioned yet.
