Overview
The Sanwa MT-5 is a mid-class radio system that delivers professional-level features with high resolution FH5 RF Mode. Using SUR Mode (Super Ultra Response), which is faster than the SSR (Sanwa Super Response) found on the MT-44, the MT-5 provides an extremely smooth response and feel that competitive racers demand.
Taking design cues from the MT-44, this radio features a backlit HD display and can be powered by either three AAA batteries or an optional 1S LiPo battery for extended runtime. This combo includes the RX-493i receiver for outstanding out-of-the-box performance, making it an excellent choice for serious hobbyists and club racers.
