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.

Mine has never missed a beat after a year in my 2wd buggy.

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 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.

By the way, excellent answer, you are 100% correct.

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.

Just trying to get people to not waste their money. The savings are minimal. If you want to save money, buy a used genuine Sanwa receiver, they are available all the time. I think receivers are something you should never compromise on.

That is obviously your opinion. If you have experience with them then please share. Otherwise, I have used them as it sounds like a lot of others without any issues. That was the point of the thread. If someone is looking to save a few $$, they are a good option.

I won't agree with you that they are a good option until I see data that they aren't slower than the real thing. People saying they feel just as fast is not good data. But if someone shows me the data that they are as fast, then I will agree with you 100%.

A new antennaless receiver from DasMikro, smaller and lighter then RX-482 coming in just under 5g

Wow, even smaller and one quarter of the price. Amazing.

Purchased. I needed a Rx for a TT-02B.

Will definitely have to keep an eye on that one. They should have at least put some kind of graphic sticker on the receiver.

Hi all, has anyone got any feedback on these Dasmicro Sanwa knockoffs?
NetcruiserRC channel tried one in his Arrma and had nothing bad to say about it.
Packaging suggests a bind plug instead of a binding button.
Keen to hear on anyone's experiences. I'm considering one for 1/10 2wd e-buggy.

I got a couple from Banggood as they were cheaper for 2 than a Sanwa rx and so far so good. No instructions so took a bit of searching to bind them, but now they work well. Just going in some Tamiya rereleases so performance doesn't really matter, as long as they work. I've also only had them for a few weeks so can't comment on longevity

Thanks, good to know. Hmmm I need something decent, as it will go into my 1/10 e-buggy for indoor club events. It's not easy having champagne taste on a beer budget. I can't put it into my basher, as it would be dangerous @ 60mph to lose control.... but yet I need no-lag performance for race day =)..
sigh~

anyone have any experience with the MRX-482? it seems to be a Sanwa 482, but made my MuchMore and supports 8.4v. i have one coming and hoping it works well. i'm planning to put it in a ten-scte 3.0 with Maclan MMax8 200a 1/8th esc (8.4v bec setting), Protek 170SBL, Maclan MR4 3500 motor, and Maclan 2S V3 HV 8500mah battery. That would make all of the electronics HV compatible and get crazy torque/response from the servo without having to externally step down the voltage to components.

edit: the more i think about this the more i'm thinking 8.4v bec is really there for 4s powered setups. i don't think it would have the intended use with 2s.

Wow, for that price I'll print my own stickers!

Bought a sanwa mt44. After reading through this thread most comments are pro clone receivers so I ordered 2 of the arx-482r and 2 of the dasmicros. With the money I saved off buying genuine I could've bought another 6!

I am going to give a DasMikro receiver a try. For the price, if it works great, than I can't complain. It will be a while before I can test it out though, even after getting it in the mail (so long as it isn't too delayed)

I bought the DasMikro and can confirm that it works with my MT-44. I haven't been able to run on a track yet. But it definitely works good in the backyard.

Will the DasMikro work in an MX-V?

Just got my dasmikro in today, did a quick swap in one of my cars and did a makeshift range test. Paired it to my m12s and had zero issues. I was hoping I would be able to test it while on a track in a race next weekend, but that might be on hold because of Michigan.

Otherwise, from a quick test, it works great

Would I be correct in assuming that if it works with an M12S it must work with an MX-V? Thanks..

Edit - Nevermind. Answered in the question section on BG - negative..

My DasMicro is DOA. Gonna buy a ARX-482R instead

Just got one of these.. seems quite nice. JST plugs go in a little easier so will have to keep an eye on them in case they migrate. Otherwise seems equal quality to oem sanwa. Pretty excellent overall. Amazon reviews about sum it up. Glad these exist, half the price of oem!

Is anyone making knock off Futaba receivers?

Key word, "compatible". And, yes they are out there. I know of FASST, and S-FHSS compatible versions.

yeah after asking that, I happened upon some while servo shopping on AGF-RC

Check out my unboxing and review of the ARX-482R.

Which of these are SSL compatable? I would like to program my Sanwa servo

thank you
