Eat. Sleep. RC. May 2016 Giveaway Update – Futaba Radio and Servo

Eat. Sleep. RC. May 2016 Giveaway Update – Futaba Radio and Servo

The Pro-Line PRO-MT that we are giving away this month normally comes as a roller, which means all the support gear must be purchased separately. However, since we want you to have a great RC experience, we’re loading this truck up with some awesome electronics thanks to our generous supporters.

Futaba has stepped in and sent us two items for the PRO-MT build; A S9155 Coreless Digital Servo and 3PL radio system!

The S9155 servo is a high-torque unit, putting out 192oz of torque (on 6v) and a speed of .13sec (on 6v). These numbers are more than enough to swing the front tires of this MT around.

For control, Futaba has sent over one of their 3PL 2.4GHz FHSS radio systems. This system is a computerized 3-channel system that includes a ton of features like servo reversing, end point adjustments, ABS and special mixing to work with things like 4WS on crawlers or brake mixing on 1:5 scale cars. It also has a 10-model memory, allowing the winner of this giveaway the freedom to expand their RC collection – just purchase more receivers to work with this radio.

I’ve been using Futaba systems for a long time now and absolutely love them – I’m sure you will too!

The good news is you can sign up for a chance to win this radio system – the other good news is it comes with a custom built Pro-Line PRO-MT Monster Truck! All you have to do is head over to www.EatSleepRC.com and fill out the form for a chance to win!

Good luck!
