It's Sanwa's receiver pricing that makes the radios less cost competitive as compared to Futaba. The FHSS4 receivers range generally in street price from about $75 to $110.
Not a big deal if you have one or two cars, but if you have a few, plus a few bashers, suddenly at five or six receivers you're likely at $200 more invested in receivers than had you purchased a Futaba.

Speaking of menus, do you guys know where the Laptime feature is on the M12s? Can't seem to find it - I get I'll probably have to press one of the buttons manually but it should still be a LapTime feature right?

anyone know if the antenna less recievers (481/482 i believe) fit in the tlr 8ight nitro or electric reciever box?
