Bill Oxidean, with his M11X is piloting this TINY 2 cell boat at up to 90MPH
So, not only does the M11X work with boats, it works with really FAST and TINY boats!
In Bill’s words:
Bill, That is some IMPRESSIVE driving! That little boat has to be pretty ‘twitchy’ at those speeds! Also, Bill wanted everyone to know what’s in that hull!

My local track just held this last weekend the Utah State Off road electric championships. The race had nearly 200 entries with drivers from California, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming. I tq’d and won the mod buggy class in dominating fashion. Here are some pics that were taken, thanks again for the support!
 Utah State Champ! Congratulations Eric!

Team Airtronics 1st and 2nd
Kyle Paulson and Mike Smith both using their new Airtronics SD-10G take 1st and 2nd place at the California Valley F3B two day competition in Southern California November 6-7. Both Mike and Kyle can’t say enough about their new 10G. Kyle says with complete confidence, “Since using the 10G I truly have become a better pilot.” Kyle says he can perfectly dial in each mode with ease making him a more precise and competent pilot. Go Team AirTronics! (From left to right; Dave Klien 3rd, Kyle Paulson 1st, Mike Smith 2nd )

Dear Mr. Kaplan,
Our Seventh Annual Scale Rally and Fun-Fly took place on Saturday, September 19th, and was a resounding success. The participants from the clubs in the surrounding area enjoyed the best weather we’ve ever had. We all had a great time, especially Al Cordy – the winner of the radio!
The success of our event was due largely to the continuing generosity of sponsors like yourself, whose names were prominently displayed on our Event poster. This event is the main fundraiser for our club and we appreciate the support you have given us. As a small token of our thanks, we are enclosing a group photo of the pilots and some of their aircraft.
Thank you very much for your donation.
Sincerely,
Garney Gunn
Event Coordinator

Mike Smith has just brought home another victory with the SD-10G – This just in from Texas:
Many years ago, I started racing radio control cars as ’something to do’ on the weekends. Mostly on road racing with my Team Associated RC10L and then moving up into the off road world with 1/8 buggy and truggy. The past few years I did my ‘racing’ with my Airtronics M11. A great radio with more features than anyone really needs, but they’re there just in case you do need them! Somewhat like a high performance car…. You don’t necessarily need the 600 horsepower, but it’s there for you just in case you do at some point.
This past year, I got back into on road racing with the assistance of Mugen Seiki and their 1/8 MRX-4X, Protoform and their 1/8 P909 body, and SH Engines and their new .21 on road engine. I still used my trusty Airtronics M11, but found driving the car quite the handful. If you’re not familiar with 1/8 on road, it’s considered to be the ‘F1′ of radio control on road racing. Extremely fast, super responsive, and can be difficult to control if reflexes and set up isn’t top notch. As I practiced a little I became a bit better at driving the car, but still not as competitive as I thought I should be.
Some months ago, I received an M11X radio system to try. I knew it was the fastest radio on the market, but I didn’t believe that would have any affect on me as I wasn’t a professional racer. Let me just say that I couldn’t have been more wrong. As I started driving the car with the M11X, I found I could drive the car more aggressively and still maintain control. This meant faster lap times, more consistency, and a more ‘professional’ driving style. Some drivers experience the ‘zen’ feeling as if they’re connected with the car. Using the M11X, I felt just that. It was the first time that I ever felt so in tune with my car and it showed. On October 10th and 11th, the Greater L.A. R/C Racing Club hosted the Region 12 On Road Fuel Championships in Artesia, CA. Not feeling that I was quite at the expert level yet, I entered the Sportsman class with my MRX-4X. In short, not only did I TQ the class, but I also backed it up with winning the class!
2009 Region 12 1/8 On Road Fuel Sportsman Champion
I think the major reason for my win was how much better I drove using the M11X radio system. Sure, you can always read how much faster it is, how much lighter it is, and how many more adjustments there are. However, until you use one, you never really appreciate how good the radio is. Overall, if the radio can make me that much better, just imagine what it can do for you!
If you haven’t noticed, there’s a running theme here at the TeamAirtronics blog. Our factory guys WIN. Are they great drivers and pilots? Of course they are! Could they use ANYONE’s equipment? Of course they could. Any mfr would be a fool to not want to have someone like Ryan Maifield on their team. These drivers and pilots have CHOSEN to run Airtronics equipment. Why? Because it helps them win. It’s part of the long list of tools needed to win.. And if you’re going to win, the radio MUST BE: Reliable, Fast, and have the Right Features. They know they “Get the Advantage” when they run Airtronics.
Congratulations to Ryan Maifield, Team Airtronics, Team Associated, J-Concepts, and Ryan’s other great sponsors.
