The new R204GF-E is Futaba‘s best attempt yet at creating a micro sized receiver. While still not the smallest receiver out there, this one is certainly a valiant attempt at shrinking the footprint on their rather large (comparatively) receivers. The R204GF-E is a 4 channel, 2.4 GHz receiver made to pair with Futaba’s sport line [...]

Way back in 2009 we posted what we thought was going to be the future for Futaba. You can click that link to see the original post. Yea we were doing it as sort of a gag, but with the way Futaba radios were evolving, it didn’t seem like too far of a stretch. Now, [...]
Futaba have released three new High Voltage servos, of which two should be of interest to the car and truck guys. The new S9352HV and S9353HV servos both have the same s/0.06 speed and humungous 306 oz/in torque, but the difference is the S9353HV boasts a full metal case for extra durability. The BLS256HV servo is intended for helicopter [...]
