I just returned from a major Q40 - Pylon racing competition in Los Angeles with nearly 60 competitors. The plane inspector raised his eyebrow when I told him I was flying Hitec, suggesting this was not normal and I was the only one, most pylon racers fly JR, Spectrum or Futaba systems. I have been told many times to throw my Hitec servos out before they fail in favour of the other brands....I have never had a reliability problem and I currently have over 60 servos all loaded into racers. There were a few planes go down due to servo failure and power issues, I do not know what systems they used. I am pleased to say my planes operating 7 channel and 9 channel Rx's worked flawlessly. I recently started to switch to high voltage servos to increase speed and torque and I am looking forward to the A9X. I figure that once I have the A9X along with high voltage servos this should be near the fastest and most stable system on the market.

When can I get an A9X?
