Sanwa/Airtronics M12 transmitter

Sanwa/Airtronics have introduced the M12, the new flagship transmitter which will replace the famous and very successful M11 unit. The new M12 claims to feature super high speed response (SSR) to the point where there is instant reaction to the drivers input for the ultimate driving feel. The new system also allows you to program the D/R settings to allow you to change trim or a curve in an instant to react to the changing conditions. The transmitter has also been made significantly lighter compared to its predecessor thanks to changes to the radio’s internal structure. Finally the M12 allows you to integrate a telemetry function to record your throttle and steering inputs and with extra sensors to recorder the RPM, voltage, temperature and further inputs.
