That's a spicy meatball! .
Love these receivers, never had any functional problems with them. I have mine for over a year now in my 1/8th buggy and truggy. they are compact and fit about anywhere. I actually broke a case on one of them due to the case coming off the double sided tape and bouncing around. Buying a replacement case was really easy and cheap. Great products!
Works perfectly… bind to my MT-R as it should , love Sanwa products, fast shipping as alway
Love AMain hobbies. Always great customer service. Their return policy is exactly what they say.
After using Airtronics (Sanwa) over 40 years, I would not even think to use anything else. After being out of the hobbies several decades, I am repurchasing the items all new to rekindle the fire with Sanwa. I still retain my old Airtronics radios and parts for nostalgia, lol.
Reviewers generally rate the Sanwa/Airtronics RX-493i M17/MT-5 receiver highly, with most reporting it binds and works reliably in buggies, trucks and on-road cars. Several praise compact size and the ease of binding to Sanwa transmitters. Shipping and seller service from AMain are repeatedly praised, though one reviewer received a box with a cut seal and missing binding plug and antenna tube, later replaced. Other reviewers report a receiver that was returned for repair or replacement. One reviewer reports it does not bind or work with a Traxxas ESC, and another reports a unit that never powered on, with a refund or replacement requested. Price is noted as high relative to competitors by one reviewer.
