Sanwa-compatible receiver thread
 

Anyone try one of these? FH3 and FH4 compatible, supposedly...

https://www.rcjuice.com/hobbystar-hr...iver-fhss.html

There are a few other brand that are on my watch.

1. Cooltech
They got a very nice small footprint rx compatible for sanwa fh3 and fh4 with ceramic antenna.

2. Powerstar
The latest is RS472E. It got the same L shape rx similar to rx482.

The hobbystar looks like rebrand from one of these brand.

Hy!
I just bought the HobbyStar RS472E L-shape receiver.
I installed it into my 1/10 4WD buggy. So far It works perfectly, and as good as the original Sanwa RX482 receiver.
Big test will be on the 26th of January in Slovakia at the Hudy Arena.
The first switch on was a little it tricky, but I figured it out.
I bought it from e-bay, and the seller told me, that this receivers signal distance is bigger than the RX482.
I will keep you updated about this receiver.

Cool... Just what i need before spending some money on it...

I haven't tested the telemetry yet. I don't know if that works too with this receiver.
I made a little radio range and reaction test a few days ago at the local basketball track.
I haven't got any range issue. The car reacted the same speed like my original sanwa receiver.
So far i highly reccomend this product.
Here is a short video how to install and bind it. :

yes of corse

After the weekend in the Hudy Arena with 190 race members I can happly report that the receiver worked perfectly.
No range problem or any kind of glitch. i haven't noticed any difference in speed either.
So if you are hesitating buying one don't be. :)

Thats great... Im getting the antennaless one...

Thanks for the update, much appreciated!

on the antenna-less model, the instructions say to select "FHSS" on the transmitter. the MT44 only has FH3 and FH4T. which one do i select?

edit: just watched video, looks like FH4T is the ticket. i'll try that.

i bought mine on ebay (from china of course) was here in 12 days.

Ok what sanwa compatible receiver is working the best,
I don't care about telemetry just need it to be glitch free.
I need atleast 10 because im switching from futaba to sanwa and I don't like having to switch out receivers.

Where can you buy them also

The latest one is the antennaless model by Powerstar. RS472E is the model. You can get it from ebay

so is this good?

doesn't exist anymore.... cannot find it on Ebay.

I purchased the HobbyStar HRX-472 from Amazon and it works great. I had a problem pressing the bind button so I took the case off.

Works perfectly on the MT-44 in FH4 mode.

I would post a link but I'm a newbie.

Ruddog is coming up with one ... and it's onl y $45

I can still find in my country... Priced aroud $35. At $45 I would rather get the sanwa rx47t from rcmart.

They work great! even the telem works. It bound to My MT-44 at FH-4 frequency no issues. I have 3 of them now.
here is a quick video showing it in operation

search youtube, sorry I'm new and it wont let me post the link..

You Tube

Can't wait till someone has them in stock in the USA

Bartolo racing does

whats rediculous is that Amain will overcharge for them... 49Euro does in no way equal almost 90$!!!https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...75312d6eab.jpg

You can get powerstar rs472hv, the one with antenna from aliexpress. Priced aroud $30 with free shipping.
Also you can check out Cooltech which also has the same mini size receiver with ceramic antenna. But I would spray some conformal coating on it if I'm using it outdoor/offroad

I ordered these from the UK.

ordered 2 on ebay...on the way.... cant wait

How are the receivers working especially the L-SHAPE ones and does anyone have them in the USA

Bartolo has them, and shortly Amain will have the Ruddog ones.

Wanted to add that I've just started running this reciver with my Exzes-X and it's been spot on so far. Seems to be a good value alternative to the genuine ones. I will say though I'm not using it with a Sanwa servo or telemetry at this time just as a basic reciver.

That is good to know. We will be doing something similar with an MT-S and some non Sanwa Servos.

Looking forward to how it fares in 1/8 IC Onroad

FYI guys we are getting the new HobbyStar L-shaped receivers in soon, as well as a Futaba compatible unit... We've been selling these for a couple months now and so far we have had nothing but excellent feedback on them.

I don't see them on the web-sight, how much for a sanwa l-shape

The HobbyStar HRX-472 has been flawless for 5 weeks now for every+ tuesday,friday and sunday racing

I just ordered a 'SkyArea' brand L-shaped Sanwa receiver from AliExpress since no one on these shores had them in stock. Looks to be the same thing. Excited to see how it works out.

Perfect timing to discover this thread! I'm reviving my TC4 and need another receiver to go with my MT44. The HRX-472 will be perfect for a budget build.

They look to be the same case molding, and instructions, as the SMD SRX2 the 1/8 IC Fan and myself have.Hopefully this means they have the same PCB's inside becuase they seem to work really well. Thanks fpr bringing the SkyArea ones to our attenetion too
