I was searching for a Sanwa JLW arcade joystick video and landed here, I had no idea what this transmitter is....new things learned today! Cheers :D

I'm still a Futaba guy! I did however drop my DX5 rugged down a huge culvert recently and it fully survived!

The M17 is quite impressive. Nice thorough review Brett. And double table bongos at the end -- sweet.

For $529.00 it had better be one hell of a radio, especially for only having 4 channels.
It looks like a great radio, and I hope it works good for the price.

Pretty sweet Brett 👍 I waist so much time in sub menus and options on transmitters lol

Let's see a review on the ex-ldt vs m17 vs 7px.

When you have money and you know quality cost. Very nice.

[NewKendo]

That's a nice transmitter, I am gonna have to pick one up

[bigmasterautopaintrepair]

You have never thought that controls so expensive have the Spanish language would be very good for many people

[IntegraDIY]

Should’ve included the m8 in the intro :)

[cato]

That kind of money should come in case

[CompressionClinic]

It DOES come with a 1s lipo already installed. Note I did not get mine from amain though.

Hey Brett, I’m brand new to wanting and understanding an upgraded radio. I’ve watched vids on the 7px which is super nice, I watched ones on the 4px, 4PM, T4pm which stands for telemetry which I don’t really understand what that is and watched a couple vids on this M17. I’m building/upgrading my new Xmaxx and I think it would be neat to be able to do some adjustments if needed and I would like to run accessory lights from the radio if possible. I know there’s lots of things you can adjust. One vid said he thinks the T4PM is more for racing cuz of the settings for nitro etc. I wanna get away from the cheap free radios that traxxas gives with a vehicle. That M17 looks really nice, I just wish you could view the screen vertically like the rest of the brands. It would be nice to have One radio for different rc’s. I wonder why these are only Surface radios? Can they be used for boats to?

I’m also wanting some Protek SL hand tools but you guys and other places are Out of Stock. I need all the ones used on Traxxas vehicles in metric I’m told. Thanks

The programmable buttons can be function like a car's steering wheel horn, or all the buttons are click buttons?

Will m17 transmitter work for 1/5 scale 5ive-t 2.0 ...just bought it new and need transmitter and receiver for it...

[ThePeteGray]

Cool vid Brett! After ‘fondling’ the M17 do you still sway more towards the 7PX? What are the perceivable differences? You mentioned how fast the M17 is on FH5 - do you feel this is a big consideration? Thanks in advance!

[az_pit_viper]

Which one is better between this one and the M12srs and why?

[Selahsmuzik]

I’m at a lost when it comes to these two radios. I heard good things about both them. The price is what is pushing me away from the FUTABA. But I heard the M17 is faster.

Hi. Great video. I race 1/8 ebuggy and currently use a DX5C transmitter (with no complaints). Spektrum seems to be more of an entry level brand. Should I stay with Specktrum or would I be better off moving over to Futaba or Sanwa? I don't need the best of the best but I'd appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks!

What is your favorite between the futaba 10px and the m17?
