Futaba T10PX Aluminium Brake Trigger

Futaba has introduced a new accessory for its flagship T10PX transmitter with the release of an optional Aluminium Brake Trigger.  A radio which World Champion Bruno Coelho switched to recently, complimenting the physical feel and range of the brake, the high-rigidity aluminium brake trigger was previously limited to one of the upgrades on the T10PX Limited Edition launched earlier this year.  Now the Japanese manufacturer is offering it an option upgrade for the standard T10PX model.

Futaba HPS-CB500 servo

Futaba have released their new HPS-CB500 servo, based on the popular Super Response HPS-CB700. Unlike the CB700, this version utilises plastic in place of an all alloy case, and the torque is lower at 26.9kg/cm at 7.4v but the rest of internals are the same with full metal gears and the company’s HPS motor technology for low power consumption and lower operation temperatures.

Futaba 7PXR 7-channel high-end radio system

Futaba have announced the soon release of their new 7PXR 7-channel top of the food chain radio system. Based off of the popular 7PX the R variant features several updates such as new home and menu buttons, an optimised weight balance for effortless handling even during long mains, and new carbon-reinforced steering and rear housing parts. By the use of red-anodised aluminium screws the weight was further reduced – and visual impact greatly improved – while a new-shape throttle trigger and brake lever improve the throttle and brake feeling. An “R” specific display design and background colour function as well as the included 1100mAh LiFe battery round out the 7PXR package. Other features such as the 4.3 inch full-colour LCD display, telemetry functions, MicroSD card slot and more have been taken over from the previous radio. The “R” is available as a set with one or two R334SBS or R334SBS-E T-FHSS SR receivers.
