For Muchmore’s jacked up price for the same receiver one might as well just purchase the official Sanwa

No, just buy another clone, Muchmore and Amains jacked up Ruddog price is a bit price gouging as they are from the same source as the generic ones.

Default Fh3 vs Fh4t

Picked up a ARX-472. I hope to see an improvement in speed versus my Sanwa 380.

Quick update on the ARX-482R from Amazon.

I've had 2 race nights with this receiver and it is nothing short of incredible. I switch from one of the Sanwa waterproof sport receivers and The performance of the ARX is the same or better in a much smaller footprint. This allowed me to rearrange my electronics area and move my battery forward in my B5M. This will now be my go-to Sanwa compatible receiver.

Glad to hear, and I am assuming you got the
AGFrc ARX-482R AGFrc ARX-482R
receiver.

My radio is arriving sooner than expected, and two AGFrc ARX-482R receivers are taking the long way around at getting to the house (from Banggood). I paid up a bit, and ordered the AGFrc ARX-482R receiver from Amazon in order to be here with radio arrives tomorrow.

I have 4 of the ARX-482R now. I found a place on Ali that had them for $16! each for a short while. They all work great with my m12s

Has anyone opened the cases and compared the circuit boards between the real Sanwa 482 and a clone? Would love to see a pic.

What I would like to see before I ever buy a clone is a speed comparison.

I have real 482s and clones. If there is a difference in speed, I can not feel it. They feel exactly the same to me.

Lets be real. If that's the sort of evidence you need, you'll probably never buy a clone anyways. Clone boards could change from batch to batch and have no guarantee even if tested extensively. If you're the sort who needs rock solid guarantees of performance you're probably better off just buying the real thing.

The problem I see here is, Who's going to test them and how? I spent some time last year trying to come to terms with all of this radio speed stuff and I got nowhere. As far as I can tell, you'd need an almost lab grade equipment setup to do any kind of meaningful testing. Maybe I'm wrong but I gave up on it.

Wanted to say thanks for all the input in this thread. I just ordered some receivers to go with an MTs and I saved a good bit of money.

Much appreciated.

Then why bother commenting on a thread when it could be a helpful thread for people looking to save a few $$. The more people enjoying the hobby at a range of price points is going to be great for us all. If you are the driver that notices the difference and have the budget to spend the extra money, good for you, keep to your threads. Let's be supportive to all and find ways that more can enjoy and keep the hobby thriving.
