Sanwa MT-4 2.4Ghz transmitter

Sanwa have released CAD images of their soon to be released MT-4 pistol grip transmitter. An all new look, this 2.4Ghz radio sports a large full dot LCD display and all the usual features you would expect from a radio of this level. What’s interesting is the inclusion of a telemetry system that can read receiver voltage, RPM and 2 different temperatures and feed it back to the screen on the transmitter. Expect it to hit the market later in the year.

Sanwa / Airtronics M11X radio system

Sanwa / Airtronics M11X radio system

Sanwa, or Airtronics as they are known to others, have released details on their new M11X. This the first of the M11 family to have the 2.4Ghz system integrated into the transmitter, before opting to have just a different module. The Japanese company claim that their new 2.4 system is 3 times faster then previous versions, making for a much more responsive system. The radio itself has only received some small cosmetic changes, due to the integration of the 2.4 system and now features a top mounted stubby aerial.
