It’s even more than the first Futaba 18-channel ever — it’s the only radio in the world manufactured with ground-breaking FASSTest™ technology!

The 18MZ is so revolutionary that it has the potential to change the way 2.4GHz systems are designed.

The potential offered by an 18-channel Futaba system is probably more than enough to make long-time fliers want to buy one. However, the 18MZ also offers the latestbest chapter in Futaba´s 2.4GHz developments: new FASSTest technology.

While some information on the 18MZFASSTest is provided below, please be advised: it doesn´t tell the full story on either topic. Quite the contrary: what you see are highlights; what we feel are the most meaningful, interesting (and solid !) facts available. There´s much more to come on both in the future. However, what we can tell you is this:

About FASSTest Technology

It’s simultaneously the most advanced technology availablefully backwards-compatible with Futaba FASST™ & S-FHSS systems.
It’s bi-directional. In plain language, it’s capable of supporting telemetry functions.

About the 18MZ System

It’s the first true 18-channel Futaba radio system ever. It comes with an R7008SB receiver, as well as transmitter batteries.
The R7008SB is a high-voltage design that lets you use as many —as few — channels as you want.
You can operate on up to 8 channels using the 8 standard PWM inputs. Servo options are wide open, ranging from simple analog to S.Busnew S.Bus2 servos.
You have access to up to 18 channels (16 proportional + 2 digital) through the 18MZ’s two S.Bus2 ports. That means simpler, more foolproof setupfull support for S.Bus S.Bus2 servos.
It features a SD Card slot. Slide a card in the slot,you have ample (and adjustable) capacity for s, model memorymore.
It includes versatile “internal memory”. It’s not just for model/setup data; it can also be used for sound picture files. That’s especially nice, since the 18MZ has…
A built-in 0.3M megapixel camera. No need for a digital cameraeven a flip phone. Just point the 18MZ, clickyou have a foolproof picture ID of your model in seconds.
It includes a 6” touch screen with 640x240 resolution. Big, brilliantbacklit for easy viewing anywhere, it provides sparkling clarity on remarkably little power. Gentle finger pressure is all that’s needed for fast, easy navigationprogramming.
You can download software s online. This is a standard feature for Futaba computer systems,easily one of the most popular customer “perks.” It’s a fasteasy way to keep your system “current”.
A 7.4V, 3500mAh LiPo transmitter battery is standard equipment.
It features a built-in U.S.B. Port. You can use it to connect a memory stickconnect it to a keyboard mouseuse it to download telemetry data to your PClaptop for storagereference.
It includes a Serial Interface, too. Futaba already offers a stand-alone serial interface (the CIU-2) for programming the travel, endpointother functions of S.BusS.Bus2 servos. This built-in (and the free download) lets you do the same with the 18MZ.
Stick angle adjusts quicklyeasily. First introduced on the 14MZ, the adjustable gimbal angles feature has proven so popular that it was included on the 18MZ, as well. It’s more than a comfort/convenience feature; it allows you to customize your control setup for greater easeprecision.
