New Airtronics

[bigwaveohs]

Has anyone tried the new Airtronics MX-3 Sport 2.4GHz FHSS-2? It has a longer receiver antenna and it looks like it uses 8-AA's. They claim a range of up to 1000 ft. It sells for $99 at Tower.

I have heard nothing but positive things about Airtronics!

I have been using Airtronics (sanwa) since the 1970's. I have had every other brand of radio over the years. The Airtronics, bar none, is the most reliable of all. I have NEVER had a glitch from an Airtronics. Can't say the same for the other brands.

where did you see a picture of it? Tower's site says Photo Coming Soon and there is no description. Sounds like a heck of a deal. I have two of the Airtronics 2.4's and they're great. Problem is the receivers are too expensive. I'm now using all Tactic radios with $25 receivers. They work great!

I posted about the Airtronics in another thread here. It has a scaned pic of it there. I have always used Airtronics and still do. I used them because they were the only ones to offer left handed radios for a long time.

Several websites claim to have them in stock...

and the receivers cost less than the Futaba 2.4's...

i just got one and it works great, but i have a problem with mine it seems like there not enough reverse throw and i cant set up my castle mamba monster with this controller , but i can use my airtronics fm mx3 and set up with that, i may have to send it back to get recalibrated

i am not steering you away its a great radio, but mine has an issue, my mx3 had range issues but this radio does not
