Figured out the servo was moving in the mounts. Double sided under the servo and onto the chassis fixed the issue.

can you explain to us how you use it? I race 2wd off road carpet and 4wd touring car on asphalt. I'm wondering if there is an advantage on using that instead of just changing model selection

Any parameter that has an R icon next to it changes with the racing mode. You can hit a trim button to trigger a racing mode.

So, the way I use it is it’s set up to track conditions from mild to wild setting in my likings. You have to set it up to your driving preferences. For example, if the track is slippery and you don’t want it to spin the wheels and you might want to set up how fast your servo travels; I drive mostly nitro. It took me a while to understand all these. I actually read the whole manual and still didn’t get it. I’m no expert but you really have to play with the settings. The advantage on the R mode is the capability to adjust to the conditions. The default is Trim 4 but I have mine set up by my thumb so I can adjust on the fly. Hope that helps.

Default Sanwa m12s rs

Hello looking at getting the m12s rs version can it still be linked to a pc and settings Downloaded. I know parts of the case are made differently but is the software the same in it as the m12s. Is there any difference in setting up the radio and can the firmware be updated the same as the m12s.
Thanks Paul

Tried searching this, but what is the advantage of the drop down on the radio? It seems a lot of guy at the track are running them.

for some people, it give you more comfortable feeling when ur right and left hand on the same level (steering grip and throttle)
as for the steering angle too, they make your hand in comfort place while maintaining ur wrist at some angle,

are the speeds, connectivity, and precision the same between the M12s and MT44? Thinking about making the switch from KO Propo. Just don't have the funds for a M12s. radio will be used for indoor on-road Black carpet racing. What is a specific feature that would improving racing that makes the M12s better than the MT44?

I have ran the M12S and sold it and ordered the M17 last year. As you know the m17 has been delayed greatly and I have been forced too use my spare radio, the MT-44.
After been using the MT-44 for the past few month I cannot feel or notice any performance diffrencies between M12S and MT-44. Ergonomics are better in the MT-44 because it is lighter than the M12S.
