I have a Noble radio system and just purchased the sanwa radio. It was night and day comparison, for one thing it is lighter and the steering responsiveness is unbelievable fast. I didn't believe it just getting back into the hobby.

Well...to start...I paid more for this radio than I paid for my first car...lol
Easy to understand instructions and setup was a breeze.
Precision and quality has a price.
But in my opinion well worth it.

This radio is hands down one of the best on the market I purchased a futaba xp10 thinking it would do everything I needed out of a radio But quickly realized it did not do what i needed it to do So returned it for the sanwa m17 this radio does exactly what I needed it to do and more will buy another one

M17 is a great upgrade from the MT-S. Looks great and comes with extra springs and different size handle / wheel to make comfortable for just about everyone. I knew the steering was going to be quicker but this is like night and day between the old MT-S and M17, even the throttle seems to react quicker and smoother. The display is great and seems pretty easy to navigate and make adjustments. Would recommend the M17 if your trying to upgrade your transmitter.
