Futaba have revealed more details of the forthcoming 7PX 2.4GHz telemetry radio system. Featuring the super-fast T-FHSS SR Super Response protocol the radio is expected to be even faster than the current 4PX transmitter while sporting a 4.3″ LCD touch screen, the new R334SBS diversity receiver as well as additional channels that feature reversing, end point adjustments, sub-trim, assignable brake mixing and ABS. The radio is expected to hit stores this summer.
Futaba’s Hideo Kitazawa has released a couple of detail images of the forthcoming 7PX 2.4GHz radio system. On show during this week’s Shizuoka Hobby Show the 7PX is understood to be the company’s new top of the foodchain radio system, sporting a large 4.3 inch touch display, the new T-FHSS Super Response transmitting system and also a new 2-antenna receiver. The full specifications and features have yet to surface and we keep you updated on the progress.
On show during this week’s Shizuoka Hobby Show is Sanwa’s forthcoming M12S-RS 2.4GHz radio system. Based off of the popular M12S the M12S-RS will offer slightly reduced specifications to make the radio more budget-friendly without hampering overall performance. It is understood that the radio’s case will be of a slightly different finish although shape and ergonomics remain the same. The transmitter also comes with a soft steering wheel spring, the display colour is available in white only and the headphone jack and vibration alert are missing on the RS model. The set also comes without battery, charger and accessories known from the M12S but with the drop down steering wheel extension installed. In terms of firmware the RS relies on the M12S’ specifications, meaning SSR and SSL support as well as telemetry features remain with the sport variant. More information will become available in time for the release.
