Radiomaster MT12
#301
Just a general understanding is a good start for me! I think it's a 'poka yoke' system - it's impossible to forget to change the model over on the radio, i.e. if I turn the Tx on, and then turn on the buggy, it'll switch to the buggy profile. If I turn the buggy off, and power up the truck, the Tx will see the different receiver and switch the profile to truck - is that right?
I use the model slot Number as the Model Match number. I also stole the code for the model match error and put it into a telemetry script, so the error will flash on my screen when I forget to change the model.

I swapped my Futaba for the MT12 in my last two races and I'll be using the MT12 again this Saturday....

Basically the 130 euro cheap Futaba 3PV is already good for racing. With the T-FHSS receiver you will have a 333Hz framerate and all the basic settings you need to setup a car.

Raced with what? The 4PM or the MT12? I've raced with both of them. Both are great transmitters and feel good in the hand. All the settings you need are there. The 4PM is easier to pickup and figure out without needing the manual or watching tutorial videos on YouTube but once you play with the MT12 a while and watch some videos explaining the deep capabilities that EdgeTX offers it makes sense and then configuring it is pretty easy.

My mind's flirted with 'should I dump it' and get something that I know is doing what I'm telling it to do, but I know I haven't given EdgeTX enough time - I'm the limit, not the radio. I don't want to pay 4x as much for what I read is fewer features and higher rates of obsolescence. Personally I like the feel of it, but I'd drop it in a flash if they released a large colour touchscreen version, which, looking at the air radios, isn't improbable.

One of the Radiomaster hardware devs was posted on their FB page asking for input about the hardware and things to change and upgrade for the next version.... pretty sure the next version will have a color touchscreen.

If all the contracted text on the current MT12 menus became proper full length words, it'd likely make a lot more sense and the learning curve would be shorter. I'll have to find that post, wish I'd seen it, would be cool to make suggestions. CNC stuff and colour all over the place please!

A racer at the INS14 had one this weekend and after having the chance to hold the radio - it doesnt feel cheap what so ever - only thing missing is a drop down wheel for my preference. The driver was also very skilled, racing high up in a super competitive field... so very race worthy. I will be ordering one - as a current M17 user, I'm curious to see how this compares. The sub $20 receivers is very attractive to me. We'll see...
