DJ Apolaro signs with Spektrum

Spektrum signs National Champion and recent winner of the 2013 Winternats, DJ Apolaro to use all Spektrum products for the 2013 year. Having tested the radio and servos at the recent U.S. Open Fuel Championship, Apolaro was very pleased with the results, taking the TQ and Win. This is what DJ has to say about the deal:

First I would like to thank Craig Kaplan at Hobby People/Airtronic’s for their support over the past few years. We had great success together and they are a great group of people. I now look forward to my new venture with Horizon and Spektrum. Having tested the products at the Open Race and feeling very connected with the equipment was great. I want to thank Sonny Brown at Horizon for the opportunity and look forward to showing just how great the Spektrum products are. This weekend it was very easy to use the new radio with the simplified menu. That combined with the very precise servos was just awesome.

Spektrum DX2E transmitter

The DX2E from Spektrum is the perfect answer for any surface enthusiast looking for their first upgrade into the world of 2.4GHz technology. Powered by Spektrum 2.4GHz technology, the DX2E offers class-leading signal assurance at a wallet-friendly and budget conscious price point. Until now, those wanting the reassurance and convenience of 2.4GHz technology have been unable to benefit from Spektrum technology at this price point meaning that they’d either have to settle for something else or spend more. Now though with the DX2E, Spektrum have redressed the balance, making their marine-compatible patented surface DSM signal transmission available for the first time at this price-point driven end of the market.
