Futaba Trade-Up Program – A Unique Way to Upgrade!
Posted by Best R/C on Jul 6, 2009
For a limited time, modelers who are ready to retire an old radio system or who may be fed up with secondary 2.4GHz technology, can move up from their current radio system to a high-quality Futaba FASST system! Modelers who purchase a Futaba FASST system between July 1st and October 31st, 2009 can trade in their old, tired, inferior – even broken – system and receive a merchandise certificate worth up to $250.00 toward more Futaba purchases. Certificate values vary depending on the FASST system that’s purchased and the trade-in system shipped. Futaba certificates are good only toward Futaba products. There is no limit on trade-ins provided a separate certificate request is filled out for each trade-in and an original FASST system receipt and proof-of-purchase is provided. Request forms, program rules and radio list may be found at the www.futaba-rc.com and www.2.4gigahertz.com.
All module-based transmitters must include the module. Trade-ins consisting of a transmitter plus compatible 2.4GHz module and receiver will be considered a 2.4GHz system, with the modeler receiving a merchandise certificate in the value indicated for a 2.4GHz trade-in. Trade-up requests must be received by November 30th, 2009 to qualify.
